George F. Beiden, a brother of the Attorney - General of the State, was shot and killed in a duelenthe 25th vdt., in Terrebonne Parish, Vvby the editor of tho Hoiuria Eagle. ".-The Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian - -Church of Ne? York has declared against Free Masonry and other secret societies as "pagan In their character, infidel in their'tendency, and perilous to the liberties o? the State and Alic church." -A Louisville paper states that a conven? tion will be held in that city on the 7th instant, to.be composed of delegates from Buffalo, Erie, MHwaukie, Toledo, Chicago and other points sear the lakes, representing an association of nearly one thousand families who desire to - find homes in the South.. ~ .-Mademoiselle Misson, in her prosperity, does not forget her poorer fellow-countrymen, ' and at the concert recently given In their be? half at Paris, she not only sung several opera? tic airs and her favorite Swedish melodies, but . between the parts made a collection which amounted to2000f. -The Income tax in England produced up? wards of ten millions sterling in 1869-70, al , thouin the rate was no more than 5d. in the . ' pound, or a little over two per cent An in? come tar ol five percent. In the United States produces considerably less than this, while the persons liable- to the tax are probably more numerous there than in England. -DeBow's Review collates a few figures -which show most strikingly the immense loss suffered by the cotton-growing States in not manufacturing a larger proportion of the cot? ton crop before exportation. Of a stock of 2,392,254 bales, one and a half million arc said tey have been exported to foreign countries. Northern mills spun 767,512 bales, or 32> per ?cent., and Southern mills 64,998 bales, or about 2h per cent. .-One hundred and ten persons to '.he mil? lion commit suicide in France every year, two v hundred and tor ty to the million in Prussia, sixty-nine to the million In Great Britain, and .only fourteen to the million in Spain. The French statisUcs show that hanging, drown? ing-, shooting and suffocation by charcoal arc the most popular modes ol suicide in France, In the order named; while thirty-one people threw themselves In the way of railway trains, and one starved himself to death. -Under the Impetus of the great "interna? tional" victoiy, ?nd with the prospect of more great races tu como on both sides of the At? lantic, tho yachting fever ls aging all along the coast, Our exchanges reveal much nauti? cal lore, and a new crop of Coopers and Mar? ryat* .seem to have appeared, with a quid In the cheek, a hitch in the trowsers, and much learned talk of-reefing and lulling, and gaffs and stays. Bot it is a healthful pastime, and one of whoso laurels we may be proud. -According to the Magdeburger Zeltung, t?e German, emigrants to America this year ace distinguished from those of former years by the fact, that five-sixths of those who have .resolved'to seek a new home in America are persons In the possession of capital. Besides ""ih?s, they- are mostly people of some knowl? edge. Formerly the peasants and day-labor? ers of Pomerania, West Prussia and Posln formed the principal part of thc emigration. They were? therefore, people almost utterly unacquainted with the state of matters in the Union, who went there and were exposed to numerous dangers before .they could settle. This year it ls more, particularly the more in? telligent laborer and merchant who seems de? sirous of trying ids fortune. -Marshal Espartero, who, lt has been stated, has consented to accept the Spanish crown, Is unquestionably the most eminent ot living SpanJartLs, ls 78 years old, and is the son of an bumble cart wright. He fought the French in 1808, -. ?s with Murillo in his South American ?expedition, joined the partisans of Isabella in 1833, and became Regent of Spain in 18 41. He was also Primo Minister in 1854. His only formidable rival to the throne will be the Duke of Montpensler. Thu3 the son of a village wheelwright has the chance of sittiug on tlie throne of Spain. The Spanish monarchy has 1 been one or the proudest, and most exclusive < upon earth, and the bones of buried majesty l In the .Escurial might well start with surprise | at the strange revolution which makes Espar- | ?tero their successor in the royal palace of Madrid.' -A horrible story of brigandage readies us ' from Chill. Lagoberon, a notorious bandit 1 captain, was so closely pursued by a body of ' South American troops recently that he was ( compelled to desert his band of brother cut- 1 throats, who had been the terror of the whole country round, and take refuge in a cavern I i situated near the summit of one of the lofty 11 mountains of the Sierra Profunda. In this cavern he had concealed a female captive,, whose husband he had robbed and slain. The soldiers made several, ineffectual attempts to reach the abode of the. culprit. Lagoberon, a man of gigantic statue and herculean strength, succeeded in heating them off by rolling heavy rocks down upon them whenever they ap? proached. The officer In command of the troops resolved at first to starve the bandit out, but alter two da}.*' blockade grew weary of so tediou? an expedient, improvised au escalade of the chieftain's stronghold, and succeeded in capturing him. To their hor? ror upon entering the cavern they found the poor woman in a dying condition, Lagobe? ron having cut off one of the breasts of his unfortunate captive ati?J eaten it. The inhuman butcher was conveyed to Talca, where he was promptly tried and condemned to die by the garrote. Ho was speedily con? ducted to the scaffold, and while the execu? tioner was engaged in adjusting his toilette (le mort, the convict drew a whistle which lie had concealed in his pocket, and blewjt sharply; whereupon about sixty of his fiofrowers, who had introduced themselves amongst the crowd surrounding the scaffold, rushed upon thc gen? darmes and massacred them ere they could offer any resistance. They then freed their chief, and garroted his would-be-executioner, after which they escaped almost unscathed, to the mountains, facilitating their flight by seiz? ing the horses of the murdered gendarmes. They also carried off several women from the throng gathered to witness the execution. About School Books. A mechanic, however skilful, cannot turu out first-rate work without proper tools; a musician caunot perform well on a poor in? strument, and an artist will find it difficult to execute a fine work of arbiWthout having the best material at his disposal. The same is true with regard to the teacher. No schoolmaster, however learned, capable'or faithful, can make good scholars out of his pupils, unless the instruments which he em? ploys, the school books, are good and fit for the purpose. We have often heard teachers blamed for teaching this or that branch of education in an unsatisfactory manner. The objection has been well founded, and yet may have been unjust, as far as the teacher was concerned. No school can be kept without schW books,. no class can be well taught without good school books. When a teacher ha3, as was the case some years ago, ' no choice of geographical text books, but is compelled to use that miserable thing called '.Mitchell's Geography," which all the now grown-up boys and girls in Charleston, no doubt, remember with disgust, he hos to "hear"' a geography lesson without a chance of making the study interesting; when he has only Adams's Latin, or Mur? ray's English Grammar at his disposal, his scholars have to wade through a hundred pages and more of dry etymological sawdust, before they arrive at the pleasant task o? constructing or translating a sen lenee; when Peter Parley is the only cook to serve up silly-antl often iucorrect dishes of history, it cannot be expected that a boy should take to history, or remember what be has cram? med into his head, paragraph after para? graph. School books are, therefore, an im? portant item in education; they should be practical, interesting, clear and thorough, at the same time Fortunately for the school? masters and scholars of this country, there has been of late a marked improvement in the construction of school books. Profes? sional teachers of sound learning anil large practical experience in the workings of the class-room, have been employed in writing them. Peter Parley, Mitchell, Adams and Murray have disappeared from the stage, and are superceded by Cornell, Kubner, Mcclintock, Holmes and venaole. Even eminent men and distinguished savants, like Lieutenant Maury, have condescended to write geographical school book3, or, like the LeCoutes. are illustrating the elements of natural science for our school boys and girls; experienced teachers of less note have furnished grammars and readers, founded on a rational system; in short, the hjst edu? cational talent of the country has been em? ployed to prepare the means which the mas? ter requires for successful instruction. The new era of good text books promises un im? proved era iu the all-importaut art of teach PS- " But a school book should not only be practical, interesting, clear and thorough, as we have said before, it should also be im? partial and inoffensive, especially in a coun? try like ours, which still consists, in habits of thought, in opinion and feeling, of two sec? tions-the North and^ the South-whatever our illustrious politicians in Washington may say.and think to the contrary. We of the South don't want Northern books with Northern notions, unless those notions are agreeable to u3 and just in themselves ; we dont't want "National" books by name, when they are sectional in their character. To Illustrate: We don't want histories of the United States, in which we are called rebels and traitors, in which General Grant is glo? rified and General Lee is abused ; we want silence on that subject. Nor do we want "National Readers," with nothing but ex? tracts from Northern and occasionally Eng? lish writers in them; we don't want our school boys to read what the Rev. Mr. Henry Ward Beecher said on the ruins of Fort Sum? ter, after we had fired our last gun aud had evacuated that glorious spot of South Caroliua. We have no use at all here in this latitude for Mr. nenry Ward Beecher. We dou't believe in him, neither in his religion, nor iu his politics, uor iu his social ideas. We do not require that Northern school books should be written especially to suit the Southern palate, to Hitter Southern vanity; we do not e:;pect that the readers which we place into our boys' hands should contain only extracts from the prose writ? ings of Simms, Maury, Legar? and Trescott, or poetry from the pen of Titnrod, Gilman, Hoyne or Randall-though we are hetero? dox enough, at any time, to prefer Timrod to Oliver Wendell Holmes, Mrs. Gilman to Mrs. Stowe, and Randall lo Cullen Bryant but we would like to have at least a pleasant and inoffensive mixture of both. We go sven a step further-wo deem it our duty to urge upon our teachers as their duty, not o countenance even otherwise good text looks, which contain passages aud extracts ike those referred to above, but rather to iso exclusively either. Northern books which ire freo from tho se objections, or what is kill better and more patriotic, to support ?xckuively good publications of Southern vriters, whenever they can be had. We have been induced to make these re narks, because we desire in a future issue o call the attention ol Southern teachers and parents to a series of ?ext books, pub? lished by the University Publishing Com? pany in New York, which have all been edi? ted by Southern mea of eminence in their profession, and among which thare are several of great excellence. State Press Association. At the Press Conference held in Columbia iu March lust, a committee was appointed to draft a constitution, and make other ar? rangements, for the organization of a State Press Association. The committee is, we | learn, ready to report. A meeting to organ? ize the association will be held in Columbia on Wednesday, June 15, tho day appointed for holding the State Reform Convention. We believe that a State Press Association, without interfering with the free action of its members, can be mude very useful in a pure? ly business way, and the social intercourse and kindly feeling which it would encourage would certainly be pleasant and advanta? geous to ali the members of a much abused profession. We sincerely hope that every newspaper in the State will be represented at the meet? ing on the 15th. Thc Fenian Flanco. Even those who condemn with most severi? ty the recent Fenian raid upon Canada, are constrained to admit that the privates in the ranks were ready and eager for a fight, and that only the cowardice and incompetency of the leaders brought the movement to so speedy and shameful a close. The raid itself cannot be justified. Cana? da does not desire to be conquered, and least of all does she wish- to be annexed to this tax-burdened American Union. The Fenians in their attack upon Canada were nothing better than a band of fillibusters, and with thc United' States forces behind them,, and thc whole Province of Canada in their front, they had not even a ghost of a chance of succeeding. vrpon the leaders and the officers the whole responsibility rests. The Irish women did their part anti the Irish men did theirs, bub when the decisive moment came, the vaunts ed chieftains were wanting in both execu? tive capacity and personal courage, and ?&e Army of the Iri3h Republic melted away as the snow beneath the noonday sun. No sufficient preparations were made for the- ad? vance. The troops were pinched with hun? ger before they heard the whistling of a Canadian bullet. When n retreat was Im? perative, the Brotherhood had not the means of returning their soldiery to their homes. Credulity and blind enthusiasm led the Fe? nian masses astray, but the leaders ure free? ly charged with cowardice, stupidity and treachery. Irish blood and Irish treasure are too pre? cious to be wasted in raids like that of which we speak. And it cannot be doubted that lilia last expedition has weakened the Fe? nian cause, and will make the Irish patriots chary of entrusting themselves again to a guidance which has brought thom nothing but defeat and disaster. Timo and patience, better than Fenian raids on Canada, will heal thc wounds of Ireland. Thc State Press OH Senator Sawyer. It is gratifying to find that there is at least one mau whom the Republican parly of this State lias elevated to power, whose course has been such as to win him general respect. We mean Senator Sawyer. Our contemporaries of the Slate press speak with one voice in commendation of his re? cent manly utterance on Hie amnesty ques? tion. The Chester Reporter says : "Senator Sawyer deserve!" well of his con? stituents for Ute bold and statesmanlike stand taken by him in the face of Morton, Drake and others of the unrelenting Radicals, who are, if possible, more cruel and bitter in their hatred toward the South than they were when blood was flowing freely from both sides." The Walhalla Courier expresses like views, und adds : .On this as well ns some other subjects. Mr. Sawyer is in accord with in's constituents with? out respect lo party or race." The Anderson Intelligencer remarks: "We have had occasion lo commend Mr. Sawyer, at varions times during lils ollicial career, for moderation and fairness towards his political opponent?, and heretofore sug? gested that thc Republican parly might profit, thc estimation of the country, by an ad? herence to his just and manly course. His re-' cent speeches, while strongly enough partisan and exhibiting fealty to the views so long ad? vocated by him, are strikingly in contrast with thc utterances of his political associates in tills State. He is a staunch Republican, but never? theless actuated by an honest desire to serve the people of South Carolina Impartially and fearlessly. He thrusts the past behind infjff* and looking to the ftiture of a reunited coun? try, advocates measures tor thc amelioration and dlsenthralmcnt of the entire people. In this light, wc commend him before our read? ers, and In doing so it is scarcely necessary to declare that, outside of fixed aud irrevocable facts, we are not one whit nearer to Mr. Saw year In political affiliation than when he was elected to the high office lie has filled so cred? itably for the last two years." ?financial. jyjONEY TO LOAN ON REAL ESTATE.
