Smith, who was committed because he would not take his hat off, will be arraigned before Magistrate Kanapanx to-day to answer the charge of false imprisonment. It ia understood thai they will refuse to give seo uri ty to answer the ohartre before the State Court, to which the oase will, of ooaree, have to be sent; and, when com? mitted to jail, will be taken ont opon a writ of habeat corpus. All thia is to be done in order to ascertain whether they are responsible for the offence. It is claimed tbat as three were summoned by the constable as a posse, they ? are not, and aa the constable only obeyed the order of the magistrate, he is not responsible; I < consequently the only person responsible is the j ] magistrate. _ ? Tu StrsvrvoBs' ASSOCIATION.-At a meeting ' ] of the Survi voro' Association, Charleston Dis? trict, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted : Whereas, The events of the late war be? tween the Confederate and United States of America are now fresh in the minds of its sar vivora, and many records do now exist which time and neglect will certainly destroy, it is I [ highly desirable to have these records and these recollections pot ia> snoh sobs anual formas to resist the ravages cf time; and whereas we have no government which will collect and preserve tbe history of those trans? actions or which WP are pioud, it is therefore the doty of all South Carolinians to place the history of the hate war m ita true light before the wovld, m order that thone who (ought and died for their country may have not only the reward of tboir distinguished patriotism, bot the justice which their achievements deserve; and whereas, the Survi vois' Associ?t ion of any single distriot may do much in oolleotmg and preserving the-o records, yet because of the intimate association existiug during the war between all the troops of the State, the work wilt become proportionally less onerous and moah mere effective if the survivors of tbe whole State were to unite io a common effort; therefore, be it Resolved. That the Survivors' Association of Charleston Distiiot earnestly invite tba som vors df each district in the State, wheie asso? ciations of record d) njt DOW exist, to torm distriot associations composed of the survi? vors of the Confederate army and uaw, to col i loot and preserve tba records ot the late war T"hat the van?os distriot associa ions be in? vited to send five delegates to a convention to meet ai our hali in Char les to a on Thuridiv.

That the primary obj ct of the proposed State Survivor i' Association is the pres? rvation of all mattera of history connected with the late war. That the proposed means of accomplishing thia ocj.'ot is the establishment of a State bureau ander the 'ontroi of the State Associa? tion, where all original matter shall be regular-1 1 ly Ind convenient ly flied away for the refer? ence ot such persons aa the association may eeo fit. That the secondary-^ bj oct of the proposed State AsjociatioQ, the future development of whicb is left to the action of the State Associa? tion, is the preparation of a standard Soathero . history sod smaller school hurt?nos, m which ' 1 the part the Confederacy bora in the lab? war nay be properly related to the world, and tbat the rising generation may be taught that their parents were not the vile traitors that tbe common school histories now prepared by our enemies assert.

THE HUMBOLDT CENTENJ.EY. THE CAREER AND TRIUMPHS OF THE GREAT GERMAN SAVANT. Frederic Henry Alexander. Baron von Humboldt. Alexander von Humboldt, the centenary anni? versary of whose birth will be celebrated to-day, in every quarter of the civilizad world, will just? ly receive a tribute due to bis genias, to tho in? fluence he bas exercised on the progress of natu . ral science, and t*> the exfolient qualities of heart which characterized an unblemished life. We consider it due to our readers to lay before them some of the principal features of an ex? ceptionally long and well spent life. Born in Berlin on tbe 14th day of September, 1769, he lost, before he bad completed bis tenth year, his father, wbo had beld the rank of major in the Seven Years War, and was sub? sequently Chamberlain to the King of lTrussia. Trns sad event, however, did not prevent both Alexander and his elder brother, William, who was to become distinguished in a different field of research, from receiving a thorough scientific education. We find the former, in his youth, applying himself sedulously and in succession to the most divei8ifled branches af knowledge-tech? nology in its application to manufactures, bot? any, philology, ?tc, studied under the beat teachers of Germany. His first literary pro? duction was a work on tho textile fabrics of the Greeks, which, it appoars, was never published. While at theUniverdity otGoettingen bis zeal for natural history was much stimulated, and caus? ed, in 1759, a scientific excursion into the Hartz Mountains and on tho borders of tho Rhine, which supplied the materials of bia first min? eralogical work, published in Berlin iu 1790. In the spring and summer of 1790 be travelled, with a similar object in view, through Bel? gium, Holland, England and France. We find him next pursuing a course of financial s ludios in Hamburg, where he also acquired an exten? sive knowledge ia the nicd-m languages. Next, he is admitted into the mining school of Freiberg, is subsequently appoiuted assessor of mines, and retains this position, with some interruptions, until 1797. During tbis inter? val of time we are indebted to him for a sub? terranean flora of the Erzgebirge, with aphor? isms deduced from the chemical physiology of plants; also, for researches on the climate of mine pits, for experiments, often dangerous, wah a view to tho construction of an inextin? guishable lamp on Biddocs principle, and again, for applications of galvanism to the study of physiology. He had also applied himself to the study of astronomy with a view to its geographical applications. Having completed his engagement ia Frei? berg, he proceeded, ia tho spring of 1797, to Jena, to perfect himself in anatomy, lt was his goc d Fortuno to enjoy ia that town the so? ciety of Gc?the*bnd Schiller. Tho death of bis mother, which bad taken place in 1795, gave him greater freedom of action. Ho undertook a voyage to Italy to study the natur* of volca? noes; but the revolutionary condition of that country was adverse to scientific researches. Bonaparte's expedition to Egypt, in May. 1798, also prevented a scientific expedition to North? ern Egypt, in which Lord Bristol had offered him a position. ' , Humboldt thea proceeded to Paris, where he was received with great respecify the men of science ol that metropolis, and where he made the acquaintance of Aime Bonpland, a distinguish young botanist, who was to be the companion of so many adventures. Having united their fortunes, they both spent the winter of 1798- 9S in Spain, where the government soon offered them free access to its American anl ludian colouies, together with all the privileges whioh naturalists could desire. This offer being acoopted, Humboldt and Bonpland sailed fiorn Corunna, ia Hay, 1799. on a Spanish frigate, and, escaping tho English cruisers, reached the Island of Tene? riffe, in Jone, where, ascending its famous peak and otherwise exploring the territory, they collected much information on its hith ar to little known natural history. Sailing once nore, they landed tor the first time on the soil of the New World at Comans, Venezuela, ou the 16th of Joly, 1799. Now commenced for them a task, arduous, perillous and unremitting. More than four rears and a half they spent in examining Ven? ezuela, Mexico and Pera, also visiting Cuba, aavigatlng, among other striking inoidents, :he Orinoco and other South American streams, n dug-out canoes, often beyond the remote Spanish posts, ascending tho Chimborazo to As heieht ot 18,098 feet and within 3000 feet ?f its summit, their farther progress being prevented by a broad and deep precipice. Atter leaving South America they an i ved at Philadelphia by the wav of Havana, enjoyed ihe hospitality of Thomas Jefferson, ia Washi? ngton, au?, haviog now spent five years on ?he American continent, they reluctantly uai'ed ?rom the month of the Delaware, in Joly, 1804, md landed at Bordeaux m Augast, nob in the identifie collections they had amassed; but jarticularly in observations mada in the vast leid of natani history, geography, statistics md ethnography. Humboldt now took ap his residence ia Pans, where hs pat bis materials io order, ind, besides, assisted the celebrated French merni**, Gay-L-assac, ia determining the som pot; tuon of the atmosphere. This detain xl him until Maren, 1806, wheo he re'.urned io Genna Dy. Another visit to Ital; soon followed, aid ?ter, in 1807, he accompanied Prince William if Prussia to Paris, on an important diplo? matic mission. - The disturbed state of Germany at that pe nod, rendering lt impossible to make import? ant publications, ho obtained permission to re? main in Paris, where he resided, more or less Dootiuuoualy, until 1827. when his great work of travels appeared both in quarto and folio form, numbering 29 vol?mes sad containing 142? copperplates, colored in part. Yielding DOW to the desire of his King to have him about his person, he returned to Berlin, where we soon fl.id bim delivering a courso of lec? tures on Cosmos, tho physical description of J the world. With 1829 begins an important period in the active and eventful uti of Humboldt. We al? lude to his jciniDg the magnificently organi? zed expedition ordered by rho Emperor Nicho? las, whioh was to embrace in its scope North? am Asia, the Ural and Altai Mountains, a part of Chios and the Caspian 8es. A careful exploration of the gold and platina miues. tbe liscovery ot diamoods outside of the tropics, istronomical and magnetic observations, bo? tanical and mineralogical collections, such vere the vast results. An account ot thie ex? pedition was published in Berbo m two vol? ?mes io 1837, and- io Paris, three volume*, LS43-'44. Another reen was that, thronen a um bo, d t's influence, the E.npcror Nicholas ;&used m..g.ietic aod meteorological stations io be established from St. Petersburg to Pe? na, others being formed at a later period in he boothera Hjrnisphere through the influ? ence of the Duke of ouflbtk. . The revolutionary events of 1830. although they gave a certain political direction to Bum bold '& occupations, did not, however,-} atop toe coarse of bis scientific pursuits. His old fri jndehip for the Orleans family caused bim to bi ?vqjcntlv seat to Paris, where he, at each visit, remained several months. He [eft thai city for the last time in January, 1848, after which he lived almost permanently in Berlin, and, although far advanced in years, continued to devote his time to scientific stu? dies, and finished his last important work, "Cosmos." published in Stuttgart, in three volumes, in 1845-52. Humboldt breathed bis last on tho 6th of May, 1859, ic tho 90th year of his ago. Tho activity of the Daturalist usually takes one of two directions. He either seeks to gather a rich storo of facts, observations and special researches, or, else, he works up into a whole the remits of bis own labors and those of others with a view to the extension of the then existing stock of knowledge and tho rejection of old materials which may have become use? less. Few, indeed, are they who have labored equally well in both directions. For this re? quires cot only profound, but many-sided knowledge, a great talent of observation and the gift of generalization, i. e. the gift ol seizing quickly the important and characteristic points which bind together facts and support, and elucidate them. Such was Humboldt. Striking are those of his labors in which, comparing the treasures of his experience with those of every age, from the beginning down to his own day, he deduces with admirable clearness the most astounding results. To bim, of right, belongs the credit of having created a new science, the geography of plan s, in which these are compared with the phenomena of thc physical world. In bis hands botany became an at tractive science. He studied tho influen?a of plants on the soil, on the condition of na? tions, and on the historical development of the human race from the beginning. In fact, he created a now school of observers. These as? tonishing results, described in language so Bimplo, will ever romain a model for posterity. But, besides accuracy of description, we also find in bis writings a poetical conception of nature, strikingly correct imagery and exquis? ite taut \ How many thousands are tbcro of evon uosciedtiflo readers, who have been car? ried away by his views of nature in thc tropics. The proper limits of this notice will not ad? mit of a catalogue of his numerous and varied publications. We shall only return to his la-it important .vork, the child of bis declining years, "Cosmos, or a Sketch of tbe Physical Description of tho World," wbicb contains, in one harmonious whole, the result of his vast experience, told with a nobleness of language that must strike every cultivated thinker. Na? ture ia hero considered as a living wholo, moved and animated by internal forces, and we havj a description of the world, in its high? est and most comprehensive sense. No work in the field of scienco has ever bad so power? ful an effect on all classes of men, and it is -therefore not surprising that its appearance was hailed as a literary event, Translated into all tho laognagos of Europe, and thus finding its way ovor the whole civilized globe, it has oallodjts existence a Cosmos literature. * In constant relation with men of science, Humboldt- bas often either directed their efforts, or throngh bis infiaence with govern? ments and with learned bodies, HUS taine 3 them. Many a young observer, talented, bat poor and unknown, has been first brought into notice by tbe great savant, and afterwards found in him a zoalous protector. To him also does Prussia owo much of the progress she has made in tho last few decades in the field of scientific studies. A spotless life, a, noble and unselfish character, ean^d for Humboldt the love and r-i?pect of bis co-laborers and tbe ein at ta oh mou t of tho princes of his nativo land, With whom his intercourse was frequent and cordial. And it is meet, indoor!, ?nak hie grateful and admiring countryman should join on sonia befitting occasion to do honor to the memory of this great and good man. , TUT MODEL WHITE MAGISTRATE. A Sommons-Incendiary Language ot a Constable. A fewdays since, THE NEWS gavo an account of the aolion of a magistrate Damed Mistig, who committed a man to jail for refusing to give bond to pay money which he did not owe. Tho following is a verbatim el literatim copy of a summons sent by him to a witness: THE STATE OF SOOTH CAROLINA, J CHARLESTON COUNTY. To-: Yon are hereby summoned to attend, as a Witness at the Magistrate's Office at Washing? ton Plantation, on tho 81 day of August. 1869, it 10 o'clock a. m., on the Tryal I of a i ermin Magistrate's caso, in which Sam Richardson is Prosocnter and Stato Plaintiff against Tom , Pus, Deteudant on tho part and behalt of Plato tit Herein fail not, on pain of (he penalties that cwilt fall thereon. signed, W. Brana, [L.S.) , Magistrate. Yon will see, says a correspondent, that the magistrate makes the Stato plaintiff in an ac- ' ti"u for debt. This is not so much stupidity is knavery, as it ia his oustom to obarge the ?tate vt th all coats whenever he fui'to satisfy' his greed ont ot otbor parties. In this way he has accumulated charges to the amount of 1 three or four bnndrdd dollars, and boasts that he has been promised that it shall be paid. He is, in truth, bat tbe tool of a set of negro Radicals, headed by one Stephen Brown, a member of the Stato Legislature, who en- ' xmragea him ia his lawlessness by assuranoea ' of immunity from the consequences, throngh his (Brown's) influence with Governor Scott. The animas of the set is best illustrated by the fact that on Fuzor's tnal, one of the negro con? stables, Richland Bryan, asserted "that they would soon have a guard of soldiers np here to squash the damned rebels.'' And Sam Rjch irdsoo prosecutor, denounced the whole white race, vbh?men*ly declaring that though he would soon leave this section, be would not ge before he killed some white officers. This threat, I believe, is intended for Magistrate Guy cou, whom this party find ID their way, and whom they are striving to get removed, on the LTound. among otber pretences, tbat he tries free nearoos ont ot a slave book. That is, ho asea Pressiey'a Digest, pnbhsbed some years ano by tho Legislator J for tho guidance of our magiBtiates.

" THE ASHLET RIVES CANAL.-THE NEWS, a few days since, gave an account of the project? ed canal from the head of navigation on the Ashley River to the lakes about five miles dis? tant, where any quantity of pbospbatic rock is to be found.

CBUHBS.-5Ir. G. W. Parker, lessee of the Mills House, arrived in the city Bunday even? ing and put up at the Charlostor Hotel. He did not placo upon tho register his place of residence, fearing that the employment seek? ers would be after him. A useless precaution it was, however.
