Boston capital is largely assisting these enterprises. -A newly married pair from the country, having heard of the extortions of New York Lackmen, refused to pay more than five cents each for a ride in an omnibus. -Boucicault kindly sent word to the Prin? cess of Wales thal she had better not attend the presentation of Ma hltest play In her pres? ent state of health, as lt contained "a scene somewhat more startling than usual." She replied that he couldn't frighten her. -In England, recently, two scholarships, ?each of the annual value 'of $250, have been founded for the benefit of females who desire to study for the profession. Thc scholarships can be held for three years, and are to be awarded according to the result of competitive examination,'the first of which ls to be held In June, 1870. -It is asserted that the cost of laying a certain kind of concrete pavement In Brooklyn ls three dollars a square yard, while In New York City, jost across the East River, lt amounts to five dollars a square yard. The difference in the price ls said to be appropriated towards satisfying the ravenous demands of what is called the City Hall ring. -Aa IA tins country, the predicted high tides occurred on the English coast a day ear? lier than they were anticipated. They wei* um mj uiftm II?" mo?, nug iciy TOW dam? age was done. Large numbers of persons con? gregated on the Thames embankment and on the bridges to see the high tide, but it was only about a foot higher than ordinary spring tides. .? -The gold speculators In Kew York, at the time of the recent panic, lt ls reported, at? tempted to draw General Horace Porter, the President's private secretary, Into the plot, bi? rnie rmiag hun by telegraph on September 16th, that they had purchased half a million of gold on his account. On September 19th, General Porter wrote to the speculators that lie had not authorized the purchase of gold and did not desire any. A few nights since, as the night express on the New York Central Road was near Amster? dam, a baby, who was looking out of an open window, gave a spring, and In un Instant fell ' from* Its mother's arms to the ground. The af . frighted mother, without a thought of Hie danger, rushed to the door and leaped from the train. As soon as possible the cars were stopped, and backed to the spot, where every one expected to learn of the fetal injury or both mother and child. But, strange to say, neither was hurt, except that the baby had a slight bruise On the side of the head. The mother stated that, as she saw the child go out of the window, her only thought was that she '^wanted the baby." -A subcommittee of a school board not a thousand miles from Lynn were examining a class in a primary school. One of the commit? tee untertook to sharpen up their wits by pro parading the following question: "If I had a mince pie, and should give two-twelfths to John, two-twelfths to Isaac, two-twelfths to Harry, and should keep haif ot the pie myself, w*at should there be left !" There was a pro- ' found study among the scholars; but finally one held up his hand os a signal that he was ready to answer. "Well, slr, what would there be left ? Speak out loud, so that all can hear," said the committeeman. "The plate!" shouted the Little fellow. The committeeman turned red In the face, while the other members roared aloud. That boy was excused from answering any more questions. -Henry Rochefort, the bitter enemy of the Emperor Napol?H>n III, who is now resid? ing ia Brussels, where he has fled to avoid the consequences of a conviction for the libels contained in the Lanterne, has, in a letter signed by two hundred and thirty three French Republicans, been Invited to (pec?me a candidate for the Corps L?gislatif in Ine First Electoral District of Paris. Bochefort at first declined, but, it ls now re? ported, has changed his mind as to the pro? priety of becoming a member of an assem? bly- destined, as he asserts, not to fight against, but to bury personal government. He says In his letter of acceptance that he ls willing to assist, if permitted, in bearing the dead body to the grave, and that he will perform his duties In the Corps L?gislatif In the hope that lt may shortly become a convention to form a constitution. He also boasts, that dur? ing the June election riots he was present in Paris for three days without the knowledge of the head of the police, although three secret agents are constantly watching his move? ments. -That was an unfortunate yawn which spoiled the pleasure of a party of young men on Lake Michigan last week. They palled Into a beautiful little cove, and, having laid out a sumptuous repast, were sitting down to enjoy lt, when Mr. S., the wit of the party, leaned back with wi- e-sttetche 1 jaws to enjoy a tremendous gape, when -nap went his Jaw, having sprung out o* "oin. with his mouth open toits widest ext-.m*. f-'e tried in vain to close his Jaw, .'ooMn-r wildly arounl upon his friends, who mistook his open mouth and - agonized appearance for some kind ola Joke. It was sonc time before his indistinct articu? lations coidd be understood, the party mean? while roaring with laughter nt thc appearance of S. When, finally, they became aware of the truth, their vision of ? pleasant day van? ished, they hastily bundled their traps and af? flicted brother into the boat, took to their oars, and pulled twelve long miles to lionising. S. in the meantime sat in the stern sheets steer? ing the boat, with distorted jaw. and the strong south wind blowing so freshly into his mouth a? to make it necessary to stuff In a handker? chief to keep from being suffocated. Arriving at Munislng a doctor was procured, and. with the help of several men, thc unlucky jaw was put in place. _ '.The Swamp Angel." The shrewdness of Mrs. Beecher Stowe in carrying on au attack is quite equal to that of General Joe Johnston in a retreat. She has an eye for a vantage ground as sharp as that which marked and mapped every uatural rampart and bulwark of mountain aDd forest and river from Chattanooga to Atlanta. The principles she follows we com? mend to the literary strategists of all coun? tries and all future ages. It is the principle [of the bombardment-known to military men from the beginning-but somewhat novelia literature: this principle-that to assail an adversary successfully you must take a position of offence where your enemy cannot get at you. Such were Mrs. Stowe's tactics iu the Uncle Tom controversy. She gathered iso? lated and abnormal facts and wove them into a sensational narrative. She had the novel? ist's liberty of giving what names she chose to the victim of the story, and, to" further her main purpr-13, she selected the name of one of our most honored Southern states? men, to drag in the mire. When she made the name of Legare the synonym of cruelty and oppression, she already prejudged the whole Southern question, and libelled its best de? fenders and noblest representatives. No- ? thing could be more dexterous. This sort of attack admits of no reply. When a character in fiction is 80 contracted as to awaken horror and detestation, the name given to that character itself becomes odi? ous. Mrs. Stowe knew this very well. She took advantage of the circumstance. She gathered together the most piquant and ex? treme cases of outrage which had occurred on Red River plantations and other remote regions, whose fertility has invited men of broken character and broken fortunes and reckless adventure (aa well as men of char? acter and capital,) and represented this so? cial chaos as a fair sample of life at the South. She erected a scene of thrilling horror-a Walpurgis night of outraged in? nocence and hellish glee, and enthroned in the midst of its tumult, of blood-stained vir? gins, of witches and of devUs, a ma?ter fiend whom she named Legare. Such was the strategy of Mrs. Stowe in her campaign against Southern society. Uncle Tom's Cabin was erected on the principle of the "Swamp Angel;" it was distant, safe, das? tardly, destructive and inaccessible. Had not the world been hostile to the in? stitutions of tiie South, so unfair a libel would have been denounced by honorable and generous spirite everywhere. The re? markable dramatic skill of the book would not Uckvo i?vod lt from tliQ oan.donrmo.tiou *?> to ite malignant unfairness. What would men think of ? story, spicy with the flavor of Boston or New York police re? ports, with a Mrs. Stowe as the procuress, or a Mr. Beecher as the felon, around whom the most shocking details of the tragedy were grouped; what would they think of such a story if it were foisted upon the public as a just representation of the state of North? ern society ? Who would not protest against the malicious libel ? To legitimize such travesties would be to enthrone falsehood, to sacrifice to sensation the fair fame of any country the novelist might chance to dis? like, or of any institution, however sacred, which he sought to overthrow. Yet against such attacks the injured party is defence? less. So long as there is wrong doing iu any country, and so long as the*, authority of any institution is Liable to abuse, ?ncle Toni's Cabins can be built by the malevoleut, and "keys" of any required shape or pat? tern can be fitted to them by thc readers of newspapers, by resident invalids, and by tra? velling correspondents. The sport is as easy, as safe, and, let us add, as magnanimous, as the pelttug of frogs in a pond. Happily or unhappily, detraction "grows by what it feeds on. No habit is so hard to break as that of confessing other people's sins. Aud so. Mrs. Stowe, having used up the South, turns her attention to England, and millets the deepest mortification and most poignant auguish upon the family con? nection of her greatest modern poet.. The same cold-blooded sagacity is displayed in this case a3 in the other. The crime she charges upon Byron is well nigh beyond the range of public discussion. The justifi? cation she adducer for the horrid and pru? rient revelation is the claim of friendship, aud honor, and virtue. The counter testi? mony has, for the most part, either disap? peared in the grave or been locked up in the memories of men bound under the most sa? cred obligations of secrecy. In the wild and wayward poems of Byron, eaycially in his dramas, and in the mystifications in which he delighted, there may be found plausible grounds for charging him with the violation of any commandment in the decalogue. For he was as fond of sensation as Mrs. Stowe is, aud went into the business not with the cool dexterity and financial aims of a bookmaker and magazinist, but with the reckless ami rollicking humor of a spoil? ed child. And, finally, the beloved and honored lady, whoae virtue is now assailed, has passed from the stage, leaving- two daughters whom the modesty of sex would forbid to enter upon such a discussion. Mrs. Stowe ventures to go where they cannot. She has planted ber cannon in an inaccessi? ble swamp, and thence launches terror and death upon the defenceless homes of the By? ron family. After awhile the world will come to know Mrs. Stowe ns well as we do. Naj, they are beginning to find out already what cre? dit Ls due to her high-souudiug pretensions. The plea that her attack upon Byron was required as a reply to the silly boj>k of the Countess Giuccioli is simply absurd. No? body attaches any importance to the praise of that pink of propriety. Yet the fat Ita? lian eulogizing the English lord and poet who had supported herself and family, cramping her stubby, snuffy flugers for weeks and months in writing a tribute to her faulty, dead lover, waa, perhaps, en gaged in a task quite as honorable as if she had been insulting the affections and ruin? ing the fair fame of his living relatives, and disturbing the ashes of his dead. There are some roles perhaps which even poor Giuc cioli would scorn to play. They aro. the monopoly of modern philanthropists and reformers. Cotton Spinning. The condition of the cotton manufactures in this country and in Europe is the subject of earnest discussion on both side3 of the Atlantic. England, France and the New England States of the American Union are alike 'discussing the best means of prevent? ing a loss of their trade, and of securing themselves against disastrous competition. In England, an enormous mottled capital, backed by the whole power of the govern? ment, is ready to be U3ed in recovering the old markets or in forming new ones. "And not a day too soon ! The continent of Europe is far less dependent than formerly on the cotton goods of Manchester, and the Ameri? can demand, in consequence of the increase in domestic manufactures, is steadily de? creasing. Commercial treaties do not stop the gap. Take the treaty with France as an example, which treaty, while it secured the English a market for their coal, anni? hilated their silk: manufactures. What is now proposed i3 nothing less than the re? moval of the entire cotton manufacture to India ; to establish the factories there, and, by the aid of low prices, for labor as well as the raw material, to undersell both Euro? pean and American manufacturers. In France, a similar scheme is under con? sideration . There the proposit ion is to trans? fer the cotton factories from the northern de? partments to the southern portion of the Em? pire. During the last six months the Austrian port of Trieste has imported from Bombay twice as many bales as France received. This gave rise to the suggestion to move the factories nearer to the supply of raw mate? rial and nearer to the seaboard. In both instances the principle is the same-to bring the cotton mill closer to the cotton port and cotton field. A similar idea is beginning to attract at? tention in mechanical New England. The obvious truth that cotton can be procured and manufactured at a lower price in the South, where it is produced, than in the Northern factories, to which it is conveyed at great expense, is opening the eyes of the spinners. This ha3 taken firm hold of the Southern mind, and New England must either move its mills down South, as Eng? land proposes to move the mills of Lancas? ter to India, or must submit to be driven out of the market by the produce of the Southern factories. Nearly one hundred million dollars is invested in cotton manu? facturing establishments in the New Eng? land and Central States. This is the extent of the interest which is felt in the manufactu? ring progress of the South. Notwithstanding the failure of Senator Sprague to lead the revolution in cotton spinning, of which he spoke so glibly, there is still a prospect that Northern capital and Northern machinery will gradually find their way to the South. It can, moreover, be shewn, we think, that the English spinners can use their surplus machinery here more profitably than in distant Hindost?n. Upon the same continent they would find the raw material, the mean3 of manufacturing, and a sufficient market-a market more hard to be satisfied as the broad plains of the West are" made rich by the labors of the immigrant and the passage of the locomotive. The South, in truth, holds the balance of power. It has not been found practicable to replace the American staple, though sacks of English gold have been scattered broad? cast among the cotton planters of India. Old King Cotton holds his own, and both England and New England are forced to acknowledge his sway. lu the meanwhile, our people have an excellent opportunity of making themselves rich and independent. Money is fiowiug steadily into the cotton States. The surplus capital is already large. It cannot be invested in negroes, and of land there is more than enough. Where, then, can it be applied to more advantage than in the manufacture of cotton? In no case has ti well-managed cotton mill been unprofitable, and we can lay our linger upon a dozen which are earning large dividends. The Southern mill can make money when it awls yams at the price which they cost to manufacture in New England. The risk is small and the gain is great: not only in hard money, but la the opening of new channels of industry, iu giviug enlarged opportunities of employment to the people, aud in keep? ing in the country the money which now slips iuto the pocket of the Northerner and foreigner. The subject is well worthy of practical at? tention, and we hope that our people, not thinking too long, will be convinced of the wisdom of beginning nt once the great work or making South Carolina an important manufacturing State. The State Fair. The advices from the interior of the State are now very encouraging, and indicate that preparations are making on all sides for a visit to Columbia during the State Fair. Columbia has entered fully into the spirit of the occasion. The fair grounds will be convenient and complete in every particular, and, besides the Fair proper, there is to be a grand tournament and a winding-up bal!. From the middle and upper counties the exhibition of articles will generally be good, and Charleston is ex? pected to semi forward choice specimens of the mechanical ingenuity of lier citizen*. Already arrangement3 are making for a per? fect jam at the State capital, and there is every prospect that for a few days Columbia will be overrun with the good people of the State. In the supplement which wo issue this morning will be found the list of premiums to be awarded at the Fair, and other infor? mation of interest to exhibitors. Every de? partment of industry and production has its representation; and it mast be borne in mind that our merchants and dealers can, if they choose, scud any of their leading arti? cles to thc fair for exhibition. Only thc pro? ductions of tbe State can compete for the premiums; but articles of foreign mid North? ern make or production may be exhibited. All articles goiiu to the Fair ure carried free of charge by all the railroads in tho State, mid visitors will be. taken both ways for on? fare. To Liverpool Direct. Tlie steamship Darien, of the Charleston ami Liverpool Steamship Line, is expected to arrive at this port on Monday next, and will have quick dispatch for Liverpool. The Darien brings out an assorted cargo and a number of passengor?. A part of her freight is for the interior of Georgia. Charleston is now tho only Atlantic port south of Baltimore which has an established steamship line to Liverpool. Cotton has airead}- been received from Sefuia for ship? ment by the Darien, and shippers are re? minded that by her and the other ships of the Charleston line, cotton may be forward? ed with regularity and certainty to auy British or continental port. tPante.
