VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1671. CHARLESTON, WEDNESDAY" MORNING, MAY 3, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. ECHOES OF OUR VICTORY. TTO IT THE GLAD TIDIXGS ABE WEL? COMED ELSEWHERE. Charleston Redeemed. [From the Washington Patriot] No mere local events could have-produced more satlaiaction throughout the country than the news that the City of Charleston, so long persecuted and plundered, bas been at length redeemed from a corrupt conspiracy of carpet-baggers and knaves; who have ruled lt since the close of the war, by the power of Ignorance and .iniquity. There ls hardly any sadder spectacle to contemplate than the con? trast between that oliy as lt was known be? fore the war, with Its historical traditions, cultivated society and refined hospitality, ac ? the, actual ruin and desolation which stand in the place of that memorable past. Let us, however, look at the present and the future with more' cheerful confidence. After a persistent and patient struggle, the people have triumphed over a most desperate and powerful combination, in which the Fede? ral, State, and Municipal influence and patronage were, ail enlisted. Thc excesses and outrages of Radicalism had ltecome so intoler? able as to revolt the better portion of that party, who united with the citizens, and thus overthrew the Bing. Numbers of the respect- j able colored people also Joined heartily in the movement. This victory is Important in many respects. . It is the entering-wedge of a revo? lution in the State, and the inauguration ot a new policy, by which alt - men, without regard* to race or previous condition, may co operate harmoniously lor the public good. Such a sign deserves to be welcomed with satisfac? tion, as giving assurance- of a better under? standing between the two races at the South, J??\VO have common interests to serve. The Example, too, ls encouraging everywhere; for, If such a resnlt may be achieved in pres? ence of the most formidable influences, what may not be accomplished where the obstacles are far less Imposing, and efficient organiza? tion and energy are alone needed to insure complete triumph ? , What the Victory Means. [From the New York World.] Every honest man In the country who knows ' what the' condition of South Carolina has been for the last six years will rejoice at the news which this morn ia g brings'of the deleat of the ?Radical city ticket :)n Charleston. In South Carolina particularly the Radicals hare made tile contest between themselves and the Dem? ocracy a contest between the robbers and the robbed. The victory Just won In Charleston ls ? a victory of decency over Indecency, ot hones? ty over dishonesty, of law and order over law? less Insolence and brutality. First Fruits o fi he ".Ve w Departure." [From th*Kew York Herald.] The municipal election of Charleston has re? sulten in a Democratic victory. South Caro? lina is considered Republican by. an immov? able black majority of thirty thousand, but re-1 gently the old rebel element bas been putting We "new departure" in force, and the first re nit of thc change may be seen in the Charles-1 ton election. It is probable that, with the ex? ample rf Charleston before lt, the whole State may go Democratic. The End of Carpet-Bag Kale. [From the Richmond Enquirer.] The news ot the election of a Conservative Mayor in Charleston, South Carolina, by a j handsome majority, is the most cheering tid? ings we have bad from that direction since the war closed-and for a long time before,'for that matter. It is to be hoped tbat this ls only the beginning ef the end-ot the end of carpet? bag rule. A Clear Tnfe renee. [From* the Richmond Dispatch.] . The success of the Citizens' ticket in Charles f ton gives promise ol a better day for the car? pet-bag-ridden State of South Carolina. TUB NEWS states the number of negroes who voted on Wednesday at some five hundred above the number of whites who voted that day. There are a few hundred whites lu Charleston who voted the Republican ticket. Now, as the majority for the Citizens' ticket is set down at about eight hundred, it ls evident .that hun dreds ol negroes .nust have voted this latter*] ticket. The State Capital Applauds. [From the Columbia Phoenix.] The official report confirms the utter defeat Of the Radical ticket in Charleston. The "City j by the Sea" is redeemed, and its control re? mitted to : the hands of good and 'substantial Citizens. The resul t ls pratt ty i n g, and we have no doubt But that it will be lound highly, ad? vantageous to the" business interests of tuc .oliy, to say nothing of its other Interests.. Nor i| should the lesson taught be soon forgotten. The good people of the city turned out like men. Stores were closed. Business was sus -?gbded. Men did their duty. The result-was ?victory in the Interests of good government. So lt might be elsewhere. All South Carolina might be redeemed if, when elections occur, every true citizen would turn out and make it . his' business to do his duty, as a voter. Much has,already been lost by supineness. Much' maybe'-regained byvlgor and combination. The victors in Charlesto. have done well: ' Their.friehds throughout thx whole State will be gratified at their success. Here In Co lum bia'tbe 'result has been received with great .satisfaction. Wilmington Touches her Hat. [From the Wilmington Journal.] . We rei er to the municipal election returns from theGity of Charleston with much pride, j It is a result honorable, to her people, and will prove of the utmost benefit to the city. With a negro registered majority, the result shows, what can, be done when the Southern people-] are united and determined. It teaches Us a lesson which we would, do well to heed. We offer our sincere congratulations to our sister city, and touch our. hat as a mark ot our high appreciation of her noble citizens. A Saint? from Savannah. :J- . [From the Savannah News.] The people of our city have felt great arnie-1 ty in regard to the .result of the Charleston'! municipal election, which took place on Wed? nesday, and the news of the success of, the Conservative party caused general rejoicing. ' It ls the Intention of a number of our citizens I to fire a salute In honor, ot the great victory of the people over the thieves and negroes wno have lorded it over the people ol that unfortu? nate city for the past two years. "Three times three for Old Charleston !" Three Cheers for Charleston. [From the Savannah Advertiser.] The acnouncement in our telegraphic news this morning that Charleston has been redeem? ed by her citizens, who have thrown off the roke imposed upon them by an imbecile gov? ernment, will thrill the heart of all lovers of law, order and justice. Thrice three cheers lor .the Palmetto City by-the Sea,, once more in the possession of her own people. An Appeal from Georgia. [From the Savannah Republican.; Now ye sons of Charleston-tor the influ? ence of Charleston was ever powerful in the 8tate-can ye not go out from your city and make yourselves felt in the rural districts ? or, rather, will not the glorious example of Wed? nesday tell with wonderful effect In your future elections * You have a carpet-bag Governor, a nondescript, heterogeneous Legislature, a -whole host of unworthies (to characterize them by no harsher name) to get dd ol. See that your opportunities are not thrown away, and let the wildcats see, feel and realize that you are terribly In earnest. Rouse ye, rouse, gallant sons of the Palmetto State, and hasten to the Bide of Georgia, redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled. The game is In your hands -your enemy trembles at the result of your ' Wednesday's effort; see that you securely throttle him while you have the chance. Congratulations fro at-Augusta. IFrom the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel.] The good people of- Charleston have tri? umphed at the ballot-box over the corruption Ists and plunderers who have lorded lt over them for nearly three yeara. Even the ne? groes became tired and disgusted with the na? tive and Yankee thieves, and not only voted but openly worked for the success of the Citi? zens' ticket. While the election may not be properly a Democratic success in a Radical ridden city, it at least secures to the people an honest and acceptable administration of their municipal affairs. It is encouraging and gran A tying ia many respecta, and- gives, hope now that the metropolis is rid ol the horde of plun? derers and unprincipled rascals who have in? fested lt for years, and .'he cood work of cleaning out the Augean stables may be ex? tended throughout the State. We congratulate our Cbarleston friends upon their victory, in honor of which a salute was fired In this city yesterday afternoon. The "Baby.Waker" Brought Oat. [ From the same paper.] the news ol the Conservative triumph at the Cbarleston municipal election reached here on yesterday morning. The news flew from mouth to month, and- awakened tbe live? liest enthusiasm. The bond -of friendship be? tween Charleston and Augusta isa..strong one. The sympathies'of our people have been with her in her misfortunes, and their best wishes ; were given to the City by" the Sea when she commenced to battle against dishonest and in? competent rulers. When the day ol tbe con? flict arrived, many,feared that corruption waa so strongly entrenched'"that lt could not be routed, while others felt confident that honesty would prevail. But norrie was prepared for such an overwhelming victory, and when the news came that General Wage? ner bad been elected by nearly, ?fght hundred majority, the town almost wen? wild with as: tonishment and rejoicing. An election in our own city could hardly have awakened more in? terest. In tbe afternoon the enthusiasm boiled over, and a number of public-spirited gentle? men took the-hrave little gun >'RebeP\to the river bank, and, pointing lt towards Hamburg, loaded it with powder furnished .by Mayor Estes, and fired a number of ringing salutes in honor of the triumph of right over wrong. Greeting from thc Kir emt-H. [From the same Paper.] The following dispatch was sent by "Geor fla" Steam Fire Engine Company to Captain [elly, of the "Phoenix" Fire Company, of Charleston, upon the receipt of the result of the municipal election. Captain William A. Kelly, President Phoenix Fire Company : McLaughlin, Mealing, Dodd, Henry and Adam, in behalf ot Georgia A. I. F. Company, tender greeting to Pheonix for the gallant vic? tory over the foe on the 2d instant. - - GEORGIA. Captain Kelly returned the following an? swer to "Georgia's dispatch ': To Captain George Adam, Georgia Fire Com? pany : In tbe name not only of tue 'Phoenix, but ol our true citizens,-! return thanks to our kind friend?, of Georgia for their kindly greeting up?ci our victory over Radicalism. W. A. KKLLV, ? President Phoenix Fire Company. AH Honest Radical View. [From the Orangebnrg News] The Republicans- deserved, to be defeated. The miserable and nasty alder manic ticket put forth by them was enough, In the beginning, to presage their certain defeat. And we be? lieve that General Wagener will give Republi? cans as much" showing'as Mr. Pillsbury, had he been re-elected. Anyhow, it gives to the Democrats a chance to show whether or not they intend to carry . out what they preach; and on tbe other band, administers a sound and healthy rebuke to a certain wing of our party. We aro Republicans, but for God's sake give us decency and intelligence. THE NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION. WILMINGTON, August 5. Indications seem more favorable to-day to defeat the convention by a very small major? ity. Republicans claim the State bv 5000 to 15,000 majority, while .the Conservatives still think the Issue In doubt, with chances ia their iavor. If the vote should result in the calling of the convention, the revised constitution la to be submitted to the people for ratification. The mein purpose ol the proposed change ls understood to be to get rid of a* swarm of '.township" officials, wno are now maintained at'great expense, and. who,-with the recon-' structed system which created their offices, are said to be unnecessary, and. in fact, mis* chievous.

GLIMPSES OF GOTHAM-, THOSE "SECRET ACCOUNTS"-AN IN? DIGNATION 3IEETING CALLED. Unpublished Explosion Items-The Search Under che Sea-Sudden and Ex? traordinary Activity of the Boiler In? sp tc tors- Phtebt Cary's Sunday Even . lng Receptions-The Downfall-or a High-Toned Theatre. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, August 2. The explosion'at the foot of Whitehall street rathefspolled the Times' sensation about the municipal frauds. People had something else to talfc about-something more terribly fasci? nating than Andy Garvey's big plastering bill or Smith's over-charges for awnings, j The Ber publicans, for fear tbe excitement would die out, have attempted to keep it up by calling an indignation meeting of "citizens,"^ to be held at tbe Academy of Music, on next Tues? day evening. It ls ^noticeable that all. the signers, of the call are" firms or inaUvIduals identified with the Radical-uarty, that no* Democratic names like those of Moses Taylor, William B. Duncan, (of Duncan* Sherman & Co..) or Wilson G.- Hunt, appear in the Hst, and that those ?True great taxpayers like Alex. T. Stewart, John'Jacob Astor and Marshall 0. Roberts, who usually act with the Radicals, are likewise absent. So the partisan character of the meeting ls evident. Meanwhile the "ring" is preparing tor the public, io.printed form, a."full and thorough" report ol-the accounts of the city fpr the past three years. This1 will be scattered broadcast before the* indignation meelina convenes, and is expected to break the force "of the orations on that occasion. I understand that Mayor Hall intends to prpve that the accounts about which .'the Times makes such a fuss extend over five instead of two years, and thaC they apply to many other public buildings than the county courthouse. .The lerry boat-explosion has'come to be. blmost an old story, and yet-there are fresh In? cidents occurring which Berve'to Keep lt alive in the public .ralnaV To-day, at the Church of the Saviour, in Brooklyn, funeral services were celebrated over nearly an erjtlre family. In tbe aisle stood five coffins, containing tbe re? mains of an old gentleman, Mr. Uhlmann, his daughter, a>}oung lady o. eighteen years, his son-in-law, Professor Marc Cheneylere, and his twe* grandchildren, Marie and Arthur Cheue viere. " The remaining members of the family, Mr """himanh's wtfe and bis married daughter, are is at Bellevue-Hospital. The lamily' started from Brooklyn, on Sunday, [o go to Staten Island to spend the afternoon with a relative. They had scarcely seated themselves in the boat when they were, hurled into eterr" nlty. Professor-Cheneviere'a body was blown into the river, and recovered by dragging the next day. This ls but one case. Our citizens have been supping on horrors Jike it until really it seems as If the reason of some bas been overthrown. A man came into my office the other night, trembling as if wirti- palsy, aud begged me to use my Influence- to. get an article Tn a dally paper calling upon the citizens to lynch the Vanderbilt family, (Including the commodore) whom he insisted were the owners of the Staten Island boats. . A bereaved husband, after witnessing the expiring agonies .of his wife at Bellevue Ht ?pital, started on a run for the East River. Nearly a hundred people were in pursuit, and he was caught just as be was about to leap Into the water. ? ? - ; The narrow escapes, as ls always tho case lu disasters of this kind, were numerous. Several came under my personal observation. A party of three friends left Brooklyn Just after.dlnner for the purpose of taking tue Westfield for Staten Island. ' They mised the connection boat at the South Ferry, and were lamenting their bad luck when they were shocked to hear tbe sound of the explosion and see a cloud of steam arise at the ferry house on the New York side. An hour later and New York and Brooklyn would have been deprived of halt ot their Journeymen barbers. The poor fellows work until noes on Sundays, and usually enjoy their only half-day holiday pn Staten Island, nearly, filling the hall-past two o'clock boat down. It will probablynever.be known how many people were killed. Tbe boat was crowded, very few escaped without some Injury. A large number, lt might be a hundred lor all we know, were blown-overboard and their bodies have drifted off. - One was discovered os far from the scene of the disaster as Staten Island. Everybody who ? bas a friend missing is natu? rally fearful that he may have been on board tbe'fated steamer. The hospitals and police stations arest?n besieged by anxious inquirers. Tire editor of au Irish weekly paper, Mr. Kelle her, has not been at bis office since Saturday. His friends have become alarmed about him, and upon diligent inquiry have ascertained that the last seen of him was on Sunday afternoon, about half-past 12 .o'clock, when h? was walk? ing down Broadwayalone. He did not say he was going to staten leland, and yet the Infer- - euee IB that he was on-board the Westfield at the-tlme of the explosion. , After tbe horse ls stolen we lock the stable door. A vigorous inspection of the boilers of the >Naw-" York - ferry-boats began yesterday morning. All the'.Brooklyn ferry-boats are: undergoing examination, to-day. No doubt the work, .'will be throughly done for once.. The custom has been to fee the Inspector and treat him to champagne, and receive u ?eitl?-: cate lu return. The examination of steam-! boat boilers has been a mere form. Rut ibe ! Inspectors are the liveliest and most Incor? ruptible officials in New York at tho present moment. Travelling hereabouts was never safer than now. - And yet the frightened pub? lic, have abandoned tbe pleasure-boats in droves.' The Staten- Island boats carry only the regular residents of the Island, who seem to be careful to' congregate at tbe extreme rear end of the deck during tbe passage. Pleasure travel by sea' bas dropped off wholly. On the other band, the horse cars and rail? roads out ot town are hardly able to accom? modate the rush. Correy Island is more nopur lar than ever.. So we will go till a railroad smash-up turns the stream back to the steam? boats, and equalizes things. ! Phoebe Gary, whose Heath took place at Newport on Monday; .was one of tbe best known, and probably the most popular, of that class ol masculine-minded women who start? ed the woman's club, or "Sorosls," In this city. I remember her at a dinner of li teran people, at DelmOnico's, a couple of years ago", a stout, Jolly, cheerful-looking old maid. She lived for many years with her sister Alice, in a house of their own in Twentieth street, near Fourth avenue. Every 8unday evening the sjsters gave a "tea." No Invitations were le sued, but all the literary and artist friends of the hostesses were welcome, and welcome, too, to bring their friends. Alter awhile, the Sun? day evening receptions at the Carys became a recognized institution in New York literary life. All persons or good standing In the guild made the cheerful parlors in Twentieth street ? common ground of meeting. Those delightful reunions doubtless linger lorever in mauy memories. '1 hey were . broken up by the deatb of Alice last winter. Phoebe never seemed to be herself after this afflictlou. Nothing whatever was tile matter with her physically'. She wandered off to the White Mountains and Newport this summer, and by the side of the 6ea she laid down and died, literally, ot a broken heart. Our grandest temple of the drama has lower? ed its proud crest and let In the jig dancers. Booth's Theatre bas been leased to "Lotta" for a summer season. 1 don't know if you have bad this Indescribable creature on the Cbarles? ton boards. If you have, she needs no Intro? duction. You will know that she plays the banjo, dances the break down, swears a little, and acts with archness and piquancy. An ad? mirer (see posters) calls her a "champagne cocktail." I should say she was more like that old-fashioned country drink known as a "stone fence.? Well, she is ursine slang within the classic walla of Booth's, on the spot where the divine, poetry of the Master ls read by the most refined actor of bis time. NTM. NEW YORK CITY FINANCES.

A Tribute from ?a Friend. [PUBLISHED BY REQUEST.] The high character aftd rare endowments of this.gentleman, whose death has already been chronicled,, demand a more extended notice. Notwithstanding he has descended to the tomb before he had attained the maturity of man? hood, he yet lived long enough to make his mark. upon the times In which lie moved, and he has left, behind him a record to which bis friends may recur with a satisfaction qualified only by the regret that a career so full of promise should have been cut short before the blossomings of a rafe and elevated genius had ripened into a harvest of abundant fruition. Mr. Rhett was the fourth son of the Hon.. Robert Barnwell Rhett, so well known In South Carolina, and sb highly distinguished through? out the entire country in the better days of the republic.'and was born in the month of Novetn. ber, in the year 1833. After going through the usual academic coarse, be was sent to the. South Carolina College, and left that Institu? tion td complete his education at Harvard Col? lege, in Massachusetts. He graduated about the year. 1854 with great distinction, and enter? ed upon the study of the law. His death took place, on Saturday morning, 29th July, at the residence of his brother, Colonel Alfred Rhett, at; Cordesville, in the Parish of St. John's Berkeley. His entrance upon the cares und duties of manhood "happening at a period when the country was convulsed bj weighty and Impor? tant political Issues, he was naturally diverted lrom the dulles of professional life, and at an early age, yielding to the ardent patriotism, which was a passion of his warm and gener? ous nature, he threw aside a pursuit in which he was likely to attain eminent success, and devoted bimsei ' to the study and considera? tion of the crave questions on which depend? ed the welfare and even the existence of his country. To these subjects he brought the powers of a mind well stored by carel ul prepa? ration, and disciplined by original thought and patient and laborious Investigation, and? superadded to this a purpose and a will that were fully, equal to the emergencies of any oc? casion, however great. The shallow sophistries of that school of political philosophers who had suddenly dis? covered that a republic, established with spe? cial reference to the protection of the few against the many, the weak against the strong, was, in fact, nothing more or less than an ir? responsible mobocracy, in which the mere will of the majority was the supreme law of the land, fodnd no favor with the. well poised Intellect ol Mr. Rhett, and. he at once avowed himself a zealous and uncompromising advo? cate of the doctrine of State Bights, as the only safeguard Inculcated by the founders of the Republic, and recognized by the constitution; and by an adherence to which the permanen? cy of our Institutions could only be secured. It was in the discussion and support of'this and other great coguute political problems that he preeminently distinguished himself, : and while yet a mer? youth, almost before he was entitled to the toga viri'w, took high rank among the thinkers of the period, and placed himself by the side ol strong men who were to 'light the great battle, the result of which was to* decide the future destiny bf thirty millions of the human race. The columns of the Charleston Mercury, at j that time Owned and edited by his brother, Colonel R. Barnwell Rhett, Jr., attest tte mas? culine boldness and .vigor of his trenchant pen, and lt is no more than simple justice to say of his masterly productions that they pro? duced a profound Impression on the public sentiment"of the times-an impression which the efforts 01 the interested and self-seeking partisans of absolutism could neither weaken or remove. They stand as monuments not only of his genius, but of his lotty patriotism and sterling Honesty." When the madness of Radicalism, running riot over everything that was sacred in law or constitutional enactment, culminated in ' the election of a sectional President, and the Southern States perceived that the argument was Indeed exhausted, and that nothing was lett but a withdrawal from a government that was felt only through Its exactions and Its oppression, Mr. Rhett lound his appropriate and congenial-place among the brave defend? ers of Southern rights, and'was unanimously elected first lieutenant iu one ot the earliest volunteer companies that was lormed in Charleston, and of which be soon became the commanding officer. His military-career was short, aa he was very soon obliged to retire from active service by the requirements of declining health. . But though be was thus compelled to relinquish the held and to sheathe his sword, he contin? ued to wield, in all its force and, energy, his dexterous and cogent pen. All who were.oi ON age to take an interest in the discussions of the period will remember the dashing and racy effusions which gave such zest to the edi? torials ot the Mercury in the times to which we are referring, and which were, by common consent, recognized at once as the handi? work of our departed friend. . : But as the battle is not always to the strong, so ls it not always to the just The war ended in the triumph of those who had subverted the great principles of the constitution, and Mr. Rhett, In common with his compatriots, was reduced lrom comfortable affluence to poverty and deprivation.. And here, as elsewhere, the grand nature of this true man asserted Itself. He 'gave way to no useless repinlngs, no un? availing reerets. With a dauntless courage be applied himself to the duties ot life, and though-suffering lrom an Incurable disease, and borne down by bodily prostration, he en? gaged in the pursuits of agriculture in order to relieve the necessities of those who were dearer to him than Hie itself. - His aged and honored father, whose best days had been passed In the service of hiB country, had perilled his all in delence of his native South, and had gone down with the rest in the general-wreck and ruio.. To rebuild the lallen fortunes of that father, to soothe his declining age, to aid him In the support ol his younger children, was the duty to which he now devoted his falling ener? gies. But alas ! evan this noble incentive-high and elevated as it was-could not suffice to save him. Consumption had fastened lt langs upon him, and spile ot the anxious care of friends, spite of the manly endurance of the victim himself, he eank under its relentless grasp, and at the early age of thirty;Beven years, with all the bright promise.ot Intellectual greatness lu his future, he fell "Like a full car of corn Whose blossom 'scaped, jet's withered in thc ripening." We have not adverted, except incidentally, to the private life of Mr. Rhett. We would ap? proach that precinct, sacred to domestic love and iamily affection, with a cautious and soft? ened tread; but.this much we muy be permit? ted to say of him, as that which all who knew him will recognize to be true, that he was a man of high and generous nature, sensitively "Jealous in honor," of noble Impulses, of gen? tle and amiable temper, and open as the day to all that was pure and magnanimous in hu? man character. The moral and personal intrepidity which had characterized him through Hie did not de Bert him on the approach of death, and lie met his late with the calmness and serenity of one who, having lived as becomes a man, was con? tent to leave his future In th? hand3 of that God In whom he had always trusted, and "whose mercv endureth forever."

Lancaster. The Ledger says: "The drought In this section, we ase assured from all quarters, has seriously injured the crops. With ample sea? sons now, a good deal of corn would be made, as the area planted ls much greater than common; but the cotton crop of this county will probably, under no circumstances, ex? ceed tbe half of an average. Plokens. The?Sentlnel of Thursday says : "We are Buffering for rain at this time, aud if lt contin? ues dry much longer, the corn crop will be seriously injured. The gardens are already parched up." C lie sterilebl. The Democrat says: yOn tuesday afternoon a reireshlng shower visited, our vicinity, and Tuesday night, we had more rain, butwnot enough 'to moisten the "ground, and all trace s of lt will disappear In a day or two un? less we have more. The 'gardens and fields seemed considerably revived on Wednesday.17 Laurens. The Herald says: "The drought still con? tinues. It is very hot Vegetation is burning up, and light, dry winds, ?Ive but little prom? ise of relief. The crops ot corn and cotton are seriously injured." Lancaster. The Ledger says: "The long continued drought by which our section ls afflicted must diminish, to a very serious . extent, the. pros? pect'lor a colton and corn erop the present year. One month ago we all had good cause to feel elated'at the promise of a fine-harvest and encouraging returns for our labors;. but this cheering prospect bas been suddenly re? versed by an influence which we had no power to avert; and at which we have no right to complain." . ,._ ', THE CROPS IN GEORGIA. The reports concerning the' crop heretofore received are confirmed by a private letter from Southwest'Georgia, where some of the fields have a fine weed and promise a fair late crop, while others are almost totally overrun with grasses. It is true all are making every effort to secure their crops, but In most cases with unsuccessful result. On the grassy lands the weed ls generally from six Inches to a foot high, with a straight, slim, sleek, slender stalk, without a single limb, with a heavy top of leaves, and devoid ot any. "forms" or "squares" - . 'those little. triangular shapes upon which haag the financial hopes end des- j Unies of.the impecunious South." In that sec? tion of Georgia a fair estimate would place 6lxty per cent, of last year's yield as a propi? tious realization this season, even if uo devast? ating boll-worm or caterpillar should make their appearance, in which case their havoc would probably destroy what few good pros? pects yet remain. EDISTO AND EDUCATION. TO THE EPITOR OF THE. NEWS. EDISTO ISLAND, July 31. Pursuant lo a call of the school trustees, late? ly appointed by School Commissioner Grlmke, a public meeting nf the people of this island was held at the Camp-Ground on the 27th in stunt, for the purpose of taking imo consider? ation the propriety of assessing each legal vo? ter for the benefit of public schools .soon to be Inaugurated. Dr. J. P. Mikell having ' been called to the chair, and R. E. Seabrook having been re- ; quested to act as secretary, Dr. D. T. Pope, after a few appropriate remarks, In which he forcibly explained the importance of educa? tion, particularly to our colored citizens, of? fered the following resolution, which was Unanimously carried: Resolved, That an assessment of one dol? lar lor each legal voter be made for the bene? fit of the public schools of their district, com? prising Edisto and Jehossee Islands. The object ol the call having been accom^ plishctl.ou motion ol'Mr. Egg; tue meeting ad? journed. R. E. SEABROOK, Secretary. -A delicate task lt was to select from 2000 young ladles of Berlin one who should have the honor of presenting the golden laurel wreath and delivering the ode of Welcome to the Emperor William upon his entrance into his capital. More than that number, however, made application for the position; and the one ?nally intrusted with the task was selected not only because ot her great beauty, but also be? cause she had distinguished herself during the war as a hospital nurse. The Emperor will hereafter take care of the lady, and In case of her marriage give her a dower of $5000. -A somewhat doubtful story ls told of Baron James de Rothschild, one ot the members of the banking firm ofthat name,' who remained In Paris during the Commune. While seated la his cabinet one morning, two rougb men entered, wno threateningly said that he must share his money with the people. On the basis of his being possessed of 150,000,000 francs, and of there being 30,000,000 people In France, the Baron promptly gave the men their share, five francs apiece, and told them to begone. The story runs that, the roughs were so taken aback by the aplomb of the bauker, that they retired without any more Chinning. THE OLD WORLD'S NEWS.
