W> lt -The Kew York Tribune says: "The yel-1 r. low lerer exists at New Orleans In a malignant form. There Is hardly a question of Ibis, j r ttaongh the Kew Orleans papers deny it, and the board of health of that city conceal the presence of the epidemic. The news of the existence of the yellow fever in Kew Orleans as an epidemic was Bent to Kew York by a lady, whose son is travelling agent for a large business house here. The Information had been obtained by the lady from her family physician, a prominent member of the board of health. She ascertained from him that the a board of health had discussed the propriety of e awking the matter public; that one of the C members had advocated the publication of the ?\ fact that the disease exleted In order that the Q people In other sections of the country might j be warned of the danger, and enabled to take such precautionary measures as they deemed advisable; and that the opponents of this policy based their claim to have the matter kept 11 secret.on the ground that any excitement re- 1 salting from the matter, becoming known, ll would be detrimental to buslne s Interests.'( n -Diamonds continue to be rumps In South c Africa, and correspondents write home the 3 most dazzling descriptions of the riches that p are walting to be gathered up on these far-off coasts. The Cape Standard Bays that the dis? coveries are now simply enormous. Steam engines vare now used for Blftlng eart i to get the precious stones, and, lt seems, w,th sue cess. A gentleman writes from Du Tt it's Pan that he sees, newly-found diamonds of from twenty to sixty carats every day. At one place some men bought a claim lor ri Ure hundred dollars and In lest than v a month took out of it slxt.-three e stones, including some ot fifteen carats r andover. A poor man came out fro'a En, land with barely money enough to ke -p him a fortnight. In three months he went home worth a quarter of a million of dollars. Another correspondent writes that he ls pur chasing all the stones he caa fi id tor the American market. There are abo :t twenty ( diamond merchants on the field now, and s lhere is no difficulty in the miners ee ling their 1 "finds" at a good price on the spot. Already they have bowling-alleys,market3, ftc,anda co?fcany is about to introduce a system of water-pipes in the various "farms." This reads like a description of El Dorado, and the ? t only danger is that the ardent imaginations ol the lucky fellows may indirectly lead many ( hundreds ol less fortunate ones to ruin. -The London press continues to discuss the C aspect or the Continental situation. The Times considers lt unquestionable that lhere may yet 1 be a chance for thc Bonapartes, but regards J the action of the church and the decline ot 1 military prestige in France as ui avoruble f omens lor Napoleon. A correspondent de- 1 scribes the Imperial meeting at l-alzburg, and affirms that the result was not so great as ? t imaginative people have Supposed it, and yet enough*ras done to guarantee a common poli? cy for the future, and this without making a ' ' formal alliance, offensive or defensive. King Amadeus seems to have made a successful thing out of his royal tour. His pro? gress bas been attended with enthnslatic popular demonstrations; but on one occasion rte hitl to submit to a humiliating snubbing, administered by the bishop and c?ergy of Valencia. Prince Napoleon'* new pamphlet, according lo ihe London Echo, is a u.-elul con? tribution to the secret history of the recent war.-It shows Denmark to have been the first and-Italy the last hope of the French Emperor. ,, The Echo also ?ives an interesting sketch ol the Communist refngees-in London. Their "club-room" is within a bow t-hot of Oxford street, and lhere they ipeet-doctor*, editors students, iraaesmen, all nuder the same ban- I ' converse with feverish enthusiasm, ?nd drink I '. deep loaats to Universal Fraternity. One plays, another reciles Barbier'? burning tbemes, or sings tender-old French love songw, while olhers hurl eccentric diatribes at la lie spectabiliie and clink glasses at allusions lo Ia hore Angleterre. A sprinkling of ihe gri aelie element perfects the thoroughly Parisian i tmosphere of the club. -The Ulai or the first batch ol so-called p?troleuses ol the Paris Commune was con? cluded at Versailles on the 51 h of September. The prisoners, five In number, were Charged e with complicity In and assisting at the in cen- [ diaries and assassinations which took place, between the Kd'aBd 23d of May at the Pakce ol the Legion of Honor and at a number of private residences wnicn were named In the charge. The prisoners "were women upon whose faces," says a correspondent, "debauch? ery had placed its Irremovable stamp; the youngest DJ twenty-four years ol age, and the eldest thirty-nine. They were all dressed in black, or some very dark-colored stuff, looked unhealthy, and seemed to take more ot ihe interest of a looker-on in the trial than that ol the persons most concerned.*' The women denied the grave charges brought by the prosecution, and claimed to be cantinieres and ainbulancitres in the .service of the Com? mune. The evidence against them was a mass of heresay, fact and surmise, wit!- notblng ol any importance proved, which would not have been admitted as testimony in any American court. The prisoners were all, with one exception, unmarried. One of them was a dressmaker, another a pasteboardmaker, another a seamstress, and two were laundress? es. The prisoners were lound guilty by the court, and three were sentenced to death, one to transportation to a fortress, and the last to ten years' solitary confinement. It is thought, however, that these sentences will be commut? ed to transportation for life. 'Sm? prisoners received their sentences in tears, but did not attempt to speak. A Hoax of the First Water. The tidal-wave prediction, which struck : -?rror into the souls of the old ladies ol both sexes, especially along the Gulf coast, is a rehash of a sensational dish prepared for an? other locality and another season. An old naval officer in the English service was the original seer, and announced that the mighty wave would submerge the coast or Albion on October 5,1869. A paper on the subject ap? peared in the London Daily News of Sep? tember 27, 1869, which speaks of the anx? ious questionings which the subject has awakened, and shows that there was no cause for the alarm felt. The paper is from the pen of Professor R. A. Proctor, who said that on the 5th of October ol the year in question the sun and moon wonld be in such position as to be favorable for the production of high spring tides. "But, after all," he add9, "high tides depend very importantly "on other considerations than astronomical "ones." He then speaks of a predicted high tide'some two years before, which turned out io be a very insignificant affair. As for predicted weather changes, any length of Lime in advance, he regards them as "mere "moonshine," and altogether unreliable. This article from the London Ae irs ls repro iuced entire in Proctor's work, entitled "Light "Science for Leisure Honrs," from ivhich work, when it appeared in the North, he new tidal-wave story was undoubtedly nanufactured. The scene was cbaDged to his side of the Atlantic, and Agassiz, a 'heavy swell" in science, became its puta ive parent. There is, however, positive >roof that Agassiz made no such prediction, md any one who new feels alarm, in conse juence of the mythical prophecy, will, on or ? ibout the 7th proximo, confess that bis cour? se was cooled by a hoax of the first water. The Columbia. Ring. Tue-Columbia Radicals are in bot water, t seems that the city officials, all Radicals, lave determined to erect a new City Hall ,nd Market, for which they propose to pay xorbitant prices. The contractor for the lity Hall is Mr. Allen, the Radical senator >r Greenville County, whose price is $138, 00, although it is believed the work can be ooe for $75,000. A Bimilar margin is found i the contract for the new market, and the Vicente, backed by the taxpayers, demands hat the plans and specifications of both uildings be submitted to a committee of isinterested citizens. We are afraid that the lovement-although eminently proper-will ome to naught. The thick-hided Radicals cout public epinioD, and, as long as their ardoning frier.il Scott is Governor, do not ven fear the Penitentiary. In a Peck of Trouble. Our Savunnah neighbors seem to be sadly a need of municipal reform. A correspon ent of the Morning Xews informs that jour al that the bonded debt of Savannah is learly three millions, while the taxable prop* rty of the city is valued at lesa than fifteen miltons. The gross expenses and expendi ures of the City of Savannah for the past bree years amount to very nearly eight mil ion dollars, and the excited taxpayers cry >ut for immediate retrenchment. Savannah, n a municipal sense, is as hard up as Charleston, but, at least, she ha lad a re? spectable city government, which we shall lot get until the first week in November. The Darlington Fair. The Darlington County Fair will be held at he Courthouse on the 4th and Dth October. ?Ve are informed by the secretary that the 3horaw and Darlington Railroad carries, free )f charge, articles intended for exhibition, ind that the Wilmington and Augusta Rail oad carries them at half rates. The pas lenger fares have been reduced on both oads. Ample accommodations are provided, it the Fuir Grounds, for stock, produce and nacbinery, and care has been taken to con? sult the convenience of exhibitors a9 well a3 .he plea-sure of the public. On the opening lay General F. M. Law will deliver an ora .ion, and ou the second day the premiums will be awarded. Darlington evidently in? tends to show of what stuff her good citi? zens are made. Ca?h va. Credit. The Wilmington Journal reduces its sub? scription price to SS u year, and gives no? tice that it will require that all subscriptions be paid in advance. This is the way to make money. A newspaper which is afraid to in 3ist upon prepayment has no confideuco in ?ts own strength, and flabby journals, as tLe public know, are not worth the postage. These journals throw in long-cr?dit as a bribe .o a reluctant public, and make up their sub? scription list of folk who don't intend to pay, and folk who can't. Neither class, we may venture to remark, will support a live and vigorous paper. WE understand that the prizes to be dis? tributed to exhibitors at the State Fair, which will be heldm Columbia on November 6, are valued at S7000. Honor is something substantial, when it comes iu the guise of a silver tankard, a gold medal or a roll of green? backs, and so, exhibitors will find it. TUB A uga Bia Chronicle and Sentinel wants J to know whether ex-Governor Orr fllgried the ordinance o? sec ess km. -Governor Orr was a delegate to the Se? cession Convention, and served on the com? mittee appointed to draft the ordinance of secession. The ordinance was passed by a unanimous vote, and was signed by all the members of the Convention. A Philological Problem. The intelligent follower of the events ol the last war in Europe will recall some of the more noticeable philological difficulties that lay in the way of a clear and impartial understanding of who was who and what was what, among the individuals and localities that figured in the conflict. These troubles may always be anticipated in the case ol a foreign war, the more's the pity; but la the case of some foreign wars, the difficulties arising from the atrocious spelling of some of those foreign words would be Immeasurably increased. Here, for instance, comes the reported Russian preparations lor war against Austria. What may be anticipated should these two nations, with their unpro? nounceable proper names, and names of towns, come into collision ! Already we are told that the Russian fortifications at the railway sta? tions ol Radzlulilow and WolocyBk are rapidly proceeded with, and that the former ls the last station towards the frontier of the-pause and reflect-Brest-Berdyczew-Radziwlllower Rail? way. If these things be thus at the beginning, what may be expected before the campaign ls over ? Let the Imagination rest for a moment upon the result of a forward movement ol the j Russian army into Gallicia, with its nest of lin? gual impossibilities, and picture lt as skirmish? ing at Zaleszekzyky, flighting a pitched battle at Brzezany, retreating from Szczurowice. and performing prodigies of valor at Rzeszow, not to mention the result of filtering these mon? sters of language through the cable. Th? English Postal Cards. TheEogMsh experiment of the half-penny postal card system has proved to be very suc? cessful, although it ls not without its features of evil. These cards are cream-colored, and about the size of an ordinary envelope. Upon one side are printed directions to the writer of | the message, the head of the Queen, and the coat-of armh 01 England; the obverse side ls left blank for the message. When the card is written, it is put in the poslofflce or in the nearest lamp-post box, and in two hours is de? livered at ita destination, it anywhere in Lon? don. All this costs only a half-penny, or one cent of our money. Within the last six months 58,465,960 cards have been sold in England by the government, giving a revenue of nearly ?122,000. The objectionable features of the postal card 1B, that the messages written upon them are necessarily not private, and that the cards may be used-as they frequently are for the purpose of sending vulgar and libellous messages (^Individuals by anonymous scrib? blers, who may have a spite against the recip? ient ol such messages. When a man can safely be mean for one cent, average human nature finds lt difficult to resist the temptation. -financial. JJOBTON, BTTS S & C O., BANKERS, No. 30 BROAD STREET. NSW YORK.
