If EWS OF TUE DAY. -Gold closed in New York on yesterday .ff. 14?>14*. -Cotton was quiet and steady; uplands 20jc; sales 700 bales. -In Liverpool cotton closed buoyant; up . lands 5jd, Orleans 9jd; sales 15,000 biles. -It ls announced that Mr. Brignoll will be a member of, the Nlllsson concert troupe. -The bathing belles at the Watering places are called dlvc-ln-ities. -In Prn3sia, while the men are at war, the women perform Acid and farm labor, and are gathering the crops, guarding the flocks and doing field work. -The Earl of Shaftesbury 6ays that u if His Holiness the Pope had a wile she would not allow him for an hour to remain . In the belief that he was infallible."-. -We have passed .from summer Into fall. What a summer it was i The record shows that there was more heat than during any cor? responding period for the past eighty years. Il is said Nature always asserts the l*?rof ^equilibrium. If this proves true, a cold win? ter will be the result. -Mr. Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commer? cial, who is now In Europe, writes as follows from St. Avoid, under date of August 13th: "We saw King William this evening and had a polite recognition from him. His apartments are in the seconi story of thc po3toftlce build? ing, and passing through the square this even? ing, the old gentleman was at the window, and returned our salute with a look of cur i os ty. He did not understand, I Imagine, what man mer of non-combatants those were staring at * his Majesty. His appearance ls that of a very . vigorous man; and aside from the casualties of -war, the chances are that he has a good many years before him yet. His thick, white mus? tache runs into side whiskers, white and heavy, but neatly trimmed. He seemed quite ? at his ease, and remained at the window for jsome tim?, longer, indeed, than lt was polite, ?Ot perhaps prudent, for strangers to loiter in that vicinity." <-A very sad occurrence is reported at Rio de Janeiro, viz: The burning of an emigrant ship, and the consequent loss ot over one hunr dred passengers on board. The particulars of the terrible catastrophe ace given by the. cap? tain ot the Freud) bark Adele Louise, who ? succeeded In saving some of the persons from the Ill-fated vessel-the Manin Barravlno-on Its way from Genoa to Montevideo, with 128 passengers and 25 of a crew. On the 21st of July, when abreast of Rio de Janeiro, the Adele Louise sighted the Barravlno in flames some distance astern, and at pnce went to her assistance. What followed ls thus described: "The spectacle presented by the burning ship "was extremely awful; the cries of the passen? gers, the flames leaping out on all sides, the wo? men shrieking frantically, some of them jump? ing overboard, others holding on by the chains ?and bow of the vessel, lormlng a. scene of dis? aster and confusion that baffles description., One boat that was lowered was speedily filled with people crowding Ixto her, and went down. It was almost impossible to render as? sistance, but the bark succeeded in taking orr eight persons, including captain and mate. The schooner Mary, from London to Austra? lia,'also happened to pass, and rescued ten more, whom she transhipped to the Adele Louise. Thc remainder, 123 ia number, per? ished." It seems that the conflagration broke out In the chimney pf the cooking galley and spread to a large number of chairs that formed part of the cargo. The passengers and crew immediately became panic stricken, and in thc absence of discipline, the captain was unable to take effective measures to suppress the flames, or to save the lives of those on board. -Bismarck is thus sketched by a correspoa .deat ol the New York World : ''While I was booking at the King there parsed by me and ?approached the royal headquarters a man who seemed to be himself a kind of walking cathe? dral-a great giant of a man, several inches oner six feet In height, and powerfully built. So soo a as he turned I knew it was Bismarck. He turned Just before entering the door and scanned the street. Among all the uniforms Were:two black streaks; they wererepre .-Med by myself and an American Journalist in Whose company I happened to be. 3eeln?- us, the Chancellor-oe vas In simple dark blue, uniform trimmed,and laced with gold-held up his finger to-?top us jost as, after taking a good look at him, we were moving off. We approached him and he met u3 halt' way. 'Where are you trom V he asked. I said, lWe are Americans, and are writing for the press in that country.' He then said .You are welcome. We are glad to have American writers among us, and with our army. The only thing that the authorities and officers will expect from you will be proper papersoriegitlmatlon. You have these ? Very well; then the freedom of everything will be accorded to you. The only thing we cannot promise you is transportation forward. You see we are very much crowded with a vast army in an enemy's country. You will have, gentlemen, to depend nnon yourselves for moving forward; but for everything else, for all the he'- and protection you require, you have OD' to come to us here.' After some con ve* .ion of a general kind, which I can? not re ?at here, the Count shook hands with us and we departed. The King also, who had been from the flr3t leaning from his window, and could not have helped hearing, bowed to us and waived his hand; and General Krauskl, of his household, informed the 'Amerikaner' that in case they found no food on the march they must come to the King's headquarters." The Lesson of thc North Carolina Elec? tions. In many respects the condition of North Carolina, before the late elections, was like tbaj in which South Carolina 'inda herself. Executive and legislative extravagance, and official and personal corruption, had doubled the expenses of the government, made the administration of the laws costly and uncer? tain, and cast a foul blot upon the escut? cheon of the State. The people of North Carolina saw only too plainly that the time had come for making a desperate struggle for the protection of their property, thc security of their families, and the preserva? tion of their rights as men. Twice had the Conservative party been defeated. In April, 1S6S, a Radical Governor was elected by 13.00U majority. Six months later Grant and Colfax had a majority of 12,000. Upon a purely party issue there was no hope of succeeding, but the oppressions of Holden and his co-conspirators touched all classes and all colors, and it was wisely determined in the old North State-ss it has beeu deter? mined in South Carolina - to organize ali the elements opposed to misrule and fraud into a solid column, before which the banners of the enemy should go down in confusion. The first step was the publica? tion of an ad-lress to the people by the Con? servative members of the General Assembly. In that address arc set forth the wrongs and grievances of the people. In it the declara? tion is made that a ready obedience is yield? ed to the laws and the constitution, that the Reconstruction acts are regarded as a finali? ty, that the status of the colored man, as fixed by law, is accepted in good faith. These were the main points of the address, which reads as though it were written for South Carolina as well as for the Old North State. That address was the platform of the C M servative party. And we print it to? day, that our people may see and under? stand, that North Carolina, in the late elec? tions, occupied the identical position which is held by the Uuion Reform party of South Carolina, and was joiniug battle with the very tyrauuies a. id oppressions which have nerved our peop' a to make one more strug? gle in the cause of good government. Working upon a platform similar to that of the Union Reform party, the North Caro? lina Conservatives soon overcame the early apathy of the people. Tho printed state? ments of the public debt and public ex? penses convinced all ?lasses that their only hope lay in a union for the common defence. The declarations in regard to reconstruction and negro suffrage, satisfied the Republi? cans, both white and black. All the bayo? nets of Holden's militia could not overawe thc people. No declaration of martial law made them abandon the fight iu despair. They stood to their posts like heroes, .and won a glorious victory-a victory of purity aud truth, over rottenness and crime.- And South Carolina, if her people work as hard, will tell the same tale iu October. The colored people in North Carolina were prejudiced against the whites, as they are here. Every effort was made to alarm, delu le and mislead them, os is done in this State. They were told that, if the Conser? vatives won. the blacks would l>e put back iuto slavery. The same huge falsehood is inculcated by the Scott Ring^. But thc North Carolina freedmen resolved to stand by the deceit white people, by way of ex? periment. They did so, and they have no cause for regret. Immediately after the elections, the Conservative committee issued a congratulatory address, and in that ad? dress, made when the fight was won, every pledge given before the election is solemnly repeated. The committee declare that the victory "is due iu a great measure to the "uprising of honest and Conservative men of "all parties." Thousands who, in the former elections, voted with the Radicals, helped the Conservatives to win the triumph which gladdened thehearU of the South. And the Conservative party, counselling harmony and peace, proudly declares that time will show that all its promises of justice, equal rights and honest government, will be faithfully re? deemed. We print the addresses of the North Caro? lina Conservatives, made before and after i the election, in order that our people may see lor themselves how their plighted word is kept. They show the colored people that a party identical in character with the Uniou Reform party does keep faith with their race. They show the people how to organize vic? tor}-. What was done in North Caioliua will be done here. But newspaper writing and stump-speaking will not save thc day. In political matters there is no vicarious re? demption. Men mu3t work out their own political salvation. And South Carolina is no exception to the ?ile. TUE Marion Cresen t says that Colonel Graham, the new convert to Radicalism, ' boasts that he has three thousaud dollars to influence'election, and that he can get thirty thousand. As a lawyer, Colonel Graham is probably familiar with the provisions of the State law in regard to bribery, (sec. 10, act March 1, 1S70.) and with the striugeot pro? visions of the United States law to enforce the right or citizens of the United Statea to vote. It is a3 well to be warned in time. The Reformers do not intend to be beaten by bribery any more than by ballot-box stuffing, or Wincheetet?rifles. Bayonets Do Thinkl Three year-3 ago, when the Emperor Na? poleon wanted excuses for enlarging his anny, he alleged that "a nation's power de? fends on the number of men it can bring "underarms.'' Dr. Leon Le Fort thereupon, in a singularly able article in the Revue des Beux Utendes, undertook to show that, with the existing military system of France, the number of men to be brought under arms was steadily diminishing. While Prussia doubled her population once in fifty-four years.. France required one hundred acl ninety-eight for the 3ame increase. The death-rate in France, he admitted, was small., and the "mean age" (31) higher than in any European country; but this only pointed to a falling off in .the number of births, since it is well known that the mor? tality of the first year of infancy is vastly greater than that of the next twenty years. In fact,4 France showed but 268 births for every 10,000 inhabitants, where Prussia showed 374 and Saxony 410. The chief cause of this, in the opinion of Dr. Le Fort, was the cn3tom of late marriages, which the military law fostered to a great extent. Thirty and twenty-six are the marrying ages in France for men and women respec? tively; in England, twenty-five arid twenty four. At twenty-seven in France, out of a thousand men there will be 582 bachelora and 413 husbands. Every year 80,000 young men are taken off for the seven be3t years of their life, and, when returned to their home3, seldom marry under three years more of celibacy. Fully one-third of them, though the pick of the population, comes back taint? ed with disease. In 1867, it was remarked with satisfaction that more recruits per cen? tum were passed than formerly. This, re? plied Dr. Le Fort, is because of the greater need of soldiers, forcing us to be less partic? ular. During the Crimean war 70 per cent, were passed instead of the u3ual 60-"the "hospitals and grave-yards of the East "knew with what result." The Nation argues, therefore, that while the Emperor's dictum was sound, it only called attention to thc weakness of France. There was anoth? er maxim he might have remembered before throwing down the glove to Prussia: of two .armies numerically equal, the more intelli? gent is the stronger. The difference in re? spect of capacity to read and write between the opposing armies ha3 already been shown. It is worth noting that of tbe four French departments whose wholly illiterate con? scripts in 1857-61 amounted to only 5per cent.-namely, Doub3, Bas-Rhio, Meuse and Haute-Marne-two form part of the ancient Germanic provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, and the other two are directly contiguous. In all Brittany, all Central France, and in several departments of the South, sixty-six per cent of the conscripts could neither read nor write. And in these ?ciays of scientific fighting, bayonets do thjiik j* Thc Fair Major of. thc Ring. One Kate Rollin, wuh good-huinored ve? hemence, protests that she i3Tiot the come? ly mulatto woman who draw3 one hundred dollars a month from the Stale militia fund, and bears, besides, the exalted rank of Ma? jor bj brevet. Perhaps not. The name of Governor Scott's pet may be Lucy, or Kate, or Sarah Jane, for all that we know or care. But we repeat that there ?3 a light mulat tress, or quadroon, in the bureau at Colum? bia, who was appointed to do noihing, and has done nothing, with exemplary fidelity, at an expense to the State of seventy-five and one hundred dollars a month. This girl goes by the name of Rollin, or Rawlins, ,and was appointed to her place by his Excellen? cy Governor Scott, commander-in-chief bf thc army and navy in South Carolina, upon whose order.her salary i3 regularly paid. A letter was addressed to her, as ."Major" Rollin, or Rawrin, by Assistant Adjutant General Elliott, requiring her t,o report for duty in his office. But, so far as we know, she ha3 not done a single stroke of the work for which she was nominally appointed. Her .monthly allowance i3 paid by the State Treasurer upon the order of the Governor, and, if necessary, copies of the receipts, or receipted pay rolls, can be priuted in the3e columns. Verily, it is a good tiling to be the close friend of Governor R. K. Scott. The Reviews.
