Her passengers and crew were saved, but the cargo, wbiob waB very valuable, was entirely lost. Another account matea Hint a number of lives were lost. -Tho Statistical Congress at Hague, Hol? land, iE engaged in discussing tho question of the reduction of standing armies. Mr. Rug gloB, of Now York, mado a speech, giving aa au illustration of tho ox ped ie ney of tbe measure, tho safety with which tho United States gov? ernment dispersed its largo armies after tho war with thc South. -Thc uncertainty aa to Dr. Livingatono re? vives in England the projoct of an expedition which shall traverso tho length and breadth of Africa. Captain Burton is ready to leave bis oonaulato at Damascus for snell a purpose, and it ?B suggested that from about sixty to ono hnndrod men, partly seasoned Europeans and partly Orientals (Sikhs, for exomplo,) armed to tho teeth with weapons of precision, would bo found capablo of the oaterprise. -Thc attention of medical authorities has been called to a new method ot potting babies to bcd wbiob is said to have como into uso in France, and to bo singularly healthy. Tho advice consists in stripping the child of cloth? ing, and imbedding it, except the bead, in a oradle full nf bran, precisely as trait and fragile arliolcs aro sometimes paokod for transporta? tion. Tho advantage of tho motbod is said to consist in its remarkable cleanliness, and the pleasant and equable temperature in which tbo infant's body is kept, from its inability to kiok .tho clothes off. The Pall Mall Gazette thinks tbat theso privileges of comfort ought not to be roBtrioted to obildien, and suggosts tbat sojourners at tho seaside may soin o day escape tho terror of doubtful beds by taking tbeir own bags of bran among their luggage -The fall trade opens bravely. The New York merchants say that tho South ie again their best customer, but that a very.different line of goods is purobaaod than before tho war. In dry goods tbe Southern morohantB general? ly purchase only staple and plain fabrios, hav? ing totally ignorod tho costly and flashy styles whiob characterized- their bills previous to tne war. Again, in regard to tilling thc soil, a wonderful revolution bas taken plaoe in the Southern States. The Southern planter now buys only tho most improved agricultural im? plements, and tbe crops of the South ar? raised upon tho same aoientiQc principles as thoso of the North and West. By this means tbo cost ot productions bavo been loasonod and tho pro? fits of tho planters increased. Tho Soutborn purobases last season, which wore largely for oaab, undoubtedly eared tbo Now York mer? chants from a mist disastrous soason. Thoir purchases thus far this fall bavo been the chief causo of tba present activity in trade. -A letter from tho Greenbt 1er (Ya.) White Sulphur Springs sayB : ''The season bas been a great BUOOCBB. More tbau live thousand vis? itors bavo been registered bora, and the pro? prietors have probably made $100,000. Sootally it has been oxttomoly pleasant, and tho pines has now acquired a natioml reputation which must make it popular with visitors from all aeotions. Tho matrimonial market, however, has been dull, for though tbe offerings were large, tbo boyera havo been few, and bave operated with great caution. A large lot of unimproved and unprovided widows and widow? ers early drugged the market, and this depres? sion continued until tbeso actors of Vanity Fair vanished to other ecenes. So serious was thia stagnation that an expert duenna informs me confidentially that only one sortons engage? ment (in wbiob a Goodwin! of Georgia, won a belle of Baltimore) has resulted from this very aotive campaign. Think of it, picture it, dis? solute men who have been following (without engaging) heiresses of fabled wealth, and for a whole summer treading on trails whose wear? ers represented millions. It was well, perhaps, for your correspondent that hts wife and five followed and overlooked bim at this point." -Some French soldiers were lately taken prisoners by the Canaka, and one of them Was killed and eaten. His oomrades desoribe the prooess. Tbe Oaoaks first decapitate their r io tim, a matter of no small di faculty, consid? ering the bluntness of tbeir hatchets. Ten to fifteen blows are necessary. Tho body is then hung up to a tree by tbo feet, and : ho blood al? lowed to run out for an hour. Meanwhile a hole a yard and a half deep and a yard wide is dut* in tho (i ron od. The bole is filled with atones, and then in tho midst o:' thom a great fire is Ut. When tho wood ls burnt down a little and glows wttb heat, it ls covered over with more stones. Tho man is then deaned /int and dividod into pieces about a foot long, tho banda and foot being throwa away aa ? worthless. Tbo pioces of tho man are placed . on the leave* of a large rose tree peculiar to tho tropics. Tbe meat is surrounded with ooooatuts, bananas, and some other plants noted for theil dolioaie flavor. The whole ie then tied together firmly, the fire ie removed /rom the pit, the meat is placed in among tba hot Btonoe, and thus, carefully corored, is left to cook for an hour. Women do not partake of this warriors' feast. Men alono are permit -.ted to enjoy so great an honor and so rare a rdelioaoy. -The Cuban attack on Lbs Tunas is de? scribed in Savana ooirespoodenoe. The at? tacking parly had but two otunoa, while the Spaniard? had six, all in embrasures, and this tadvantago in artillery told very favorablv in .the fight on the side or the garrison. For nore than six boure the. insurgents pressed the Spaniards, but to no avail. They were untblu to carry tho for ti float I o na. Major Bo niohebad the town hall and several other buil? ding? Qred to prevent the insurgents occupy? ing them, and so find shelter near tte Spanish J?r*4*tworks. The Ore rapidly Spread to other r.iul altogether ono hundred . ty*ra burned. Ill s necees .

CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING, SEPT. 20, 1809. Tile Souttk Carolina University. The trustees of this institution, at their meeting on Friday last, filled three profes? sorial ohairs, rendered vacant by the resig? nation of Professors John LeConte, Joseph LcConle, and Edward P. Alexander. In the placea of theBo gentlemen were elected Dr. Albert Qallatin Mackey to the ohair of natu? ral and meohanioal philosophy, Dr. Joseph Jones to the ohair of chemistry, pharniaoy, &o , and Mr. T. E. Hart to the chair of | mathematics. The predecessor of thc University, the old South Carolina College, for sixty years enjoyed an cnviablo reputation for its high standard of character and scholarship among American institutions of learning. Thousands of graduates have gone forth through the length and breadth of the con? tinent filling positions of honor and trust, with satisfaction to themselves and the oommunity, and reflecting oredit to their much rovered Alma Mater. The trustees of the oollege were always from among the first men of the State, the Governor, Judges, Chancellors and others eleoted to the position by the Legislature. The inter? ests of the institution were in good keep? ing, and the oollege, in oonsequenoe, en? joyed tho oonfidenoe and the affection of | the entire State. In those aneiont days, when a new pro? fessor was to be ohosen, regard was had first, to the scholarship of the applicant; next, to his ability to teaob; thirdly, to his oharaoter, private and pnblio; and lastly, to his acceptability-the fourth being in fact embraoed under tho third postulate. The office of a professor of the oollege was con? sidered so important, and the influenoe upon the young men of the Slate for good or for evil so great, that the curators, feel? ing all the responsibilities of their delioate trust, exercised the utmost oaution and dili? gence in their choice. A mistake in thia particular, it was felt, would be fatal. ?laia nous avona chang? tout cela. We live in different times. First, under the admin? istration of Governors Perry and Orr, a very good oollego was ohanged into a very poor university. Next, under the new order of things-tbe Republican State Ad? ministration-all the old trastees were turned out of office, aud their plaoes filled by a few Radioals and negroes high in office, some of whom had soaroely ever be? fore heard of a oollege, to say nothing of being qualified to legislate upon its organi? zation and conduct. Soon after this deplo? rable change of regime, Professor Haskell resigned, and not long sinoe C. D. Melton Esq., was eleoted in his stead to the profes? sorship of law, a eolection certainly to which no one oould take exoeption. Still, the character of tho trastees was known, and their future polioy unknown and dis? trusted. Our people had no oonfidenoe in the institution, and either sent their sons to other oolleges in the State, or.to institu-? j tiona i? learning in Georgia, Virginia, and other States. The number of a Iud nuts in Columbia was but small, and bids (air to beoome still smaller this winter. We oannot help having a Radical Gover? nor and a Radioal Mayor, a black Legisla? ture, and a colored Secretary of State; a superannuated ignoramus for a Judge, and a codifier of laws who is innocent of Black? stone. These and many more affliotlons have been heaped upon us, and for the time being we are powerless to avert them. Heavy and unjust taxes are assessed and levied, and the revenues of the State ara squandered for the benefit of hungry and unprincipled adventurers who, like the caterpillars, devour the hard earnings of the honest toll of others. All this, we say, we have to endure, at least for a sea- ', son; but as yet no one oan compel ns tosend our sons tobe taught manners by Bosemoa, or morals by 8eott. There are, it is true, a few good men etUl left at the University, and we are sorry for it; for we are loth to say anything that might wound their feelings. Bat with Dr. Maokey ia the chair of mechanics, and the Honorable Christopher Columbus Bowen, lt maybe, next year, delivering a course of | lectures on Moral Philosophy and Sacred Literature, we do not think it probable that the University will enjoy much of the oon? fidenoe of the white people of South Car* olin?. Br. Maokey may ? be very competent to teaoh meohanios, though we have never heard him mentioned as a disciple of Archi? medes, Newton or PaaoaL He certainly enjoys no reputation as a man of eoienoe. Who dtsoovered his oapaeity ? Was it floott, or Moses, or Bozemonf Bat even if I he had the requisite scholarship, he certain? ly does not er joy the confidence of the peo? ple-we mean of the people who have sons to send to oollege. And what will be thought of trustees by whose manase ment the college must, beyond the possibility of doubt, be ruined T We speak without any ] personal hostility to Dr Maokey, ?ad sim? ply oat of regard for the pabilo weal. Dr. Joseph Joass, who has j net besa elected to the chair of chemistry, has for | years been ennoeeted with the Medical Col? leges of Savannah and Angosta. Daring I tho war he had a special commission from ] the Confederate Bargoon General lo con tina* Investigations, ia which ho had been I engaged previously, oa tho origin sad oh ar-, j acter of malarial aad typhoid fevers.

Ia th? ooaree ot his la* Y - ' i. . ? * . f\ ti-. veatigations on (he latter, ho visited th? prioon at Anderaonville, where he rerolled in the great abundance of his favorite mate? rial. Dr. Maokoy'a biography need not be given here, as our readers are tolerably familiar with the facts of his life. Of Pro? fessor Hart wo hope to be ablo to say more anon. A few wordB in dosing on Professor Alexander, who ia about to leave the Stato. Edward P. Alexander was born iu Washing? ton, Qa., in 1886, and graduated at West Point in 1857. Ho waa promoted second lieutenant of the United States Engineer Gorps, and served as assistant instructor in engineering at WOBt Point; then aa lieuten? ant of a oompany af sappers in the Utah ex? pedition of General A. 8. Johnston, and in Oregon and Washington Territories. Ho next was on detail, engaged in perfeoting and experimenting with a system of army signals until May, 1861, when he resigned in San Francisco, and returned to the Benth. He waa commissioned oaptain of engi? neers in the Confederate army, where he in? troduced the system of signals, and served as signal offioer of the Army of the Poto? mac, and afterwards as ohief of ordnance ef the Army of Northern Virginia. He was then promoted to the rank of colonel of artillery, and commanded all tho artillery of Longstreet's corps nt deltysburg, and in Georgia, and in tho Tennessee campaign. He was promoted brigadier general of artillery and ohief of the artillery of Long? street's corps in February, 18*11, holding that command to the olose of the war. He was eleoted professor of mathematics and civil and military engineering and con? struction in the University of South Caro? lina in December, 1805, which position he has filled with distinguished ability, giving general satisfaction. He waa much liked in the army by his superiors, by his peers, and by his subordinates, and the many respon? sible posts he occupied, and his rapid pro? motion, tell how his services were valued. South Carolina loses a valuable man by the resignation of Professor Alexander. He has earned her eetoem, and carries with him her best wishes for his welfare and suco ess. Tate State Debt. The Unionville resolutions looking to a popular movement to repudiate the debt which the Radioal government at Columbia is so rapidly and recklessly piling up, are not relished by many of the State papers. The Anderson Intelligencer thinks il advisable o seek to gain control of the State govern? ment by .other means; the Yorkvllle En? quirer dissents from the s?beme aa imprac? ticable and ruinous; and the Abbeville Press bluntly argues that ourt negro Legis? lature ls bound to have money, and that if if it cannot borrow it will rob; or, in other words, if it cannot negotiate ita bonds, it will tax ! tax ! tax ! The Press, there? fore, concludes that the movement is unwise, and adds: "Lot ns ptriku at the root-reform the gov? ernment-and wo relieve ourselves of our op? pressors, and restore again the era of easy im? posts and economical expenditure, honesty in offioe, and contentment and prosperity every? where." ThuB opposed by three of the most influ? ential presses in the up-oountry, the move? ment whioh our friends in Unionville sought to inaugurate must laok that unan? imity of support, without whioh it falls to the ground; and the people of tho Stato must make up their minds to rely for the protection of their own pockets and the publio coffers upon the suooess of their ef? forts to effect thc speedy overthrow of Rad? icalism at the polls. Plucking tuc South-The Cotton Tax. While the Northern cities are in high glee over the rioh and enormous trade whioh they expeot to be the result of the reviving prosperity of the South, the Radi? oal officials of the government see, In the suooess of our agrioulture, but another op? portunity for legislative injustice and op? pression. Not content with the oertain prospect that the internal revenue from the Southern States for the present fiscal year will be about fifty per oent. greater than that of last year, they af? already hatching sohemes to shift th? whole burden of taxa? tion from the backs of the "loyal" manu? facturers to those of the "rebel" producers. Among the modifications of the revenue law we are assured will undoubtedly be re? commended to the next Congress a tax of one eent per pound on cotton. This, it is calculated, oas be made to yield an annual iuoomo of fifteen millions of dol?an-a prise, the tempting' character of which to Yankee Congressmen may be inferred from the faot that it will enable them, to gratify their constituents by an immediate repeal of those universally unpopular sections of the revenue law whioh i mp o ie speolal taxes. ! . I ..*?? ? i ai?*?*? Aa ?ld mena with ? Slaw ir?ee. The old Natioaal Intelligencer, the de? mise of whioh a few months ago oaused some sensation in the newspaper world, is tc be revived in a new form. The proprie? tors of the Washington Evening Express announoe that that paper will be merged with the Intelligencer under (he name of the Daily Intelligencer and Express, and pub? lished as. a Damooratio morning jonrnal. The first issue is to make its appearanoe to-day. The combination will enjoy many elements of strength, and it is to be hoped that the result will be a paper every way a worthy representative of Damooratio inter? ests at the national aapltal.
