COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, November ll, 186??. History. We do not think that there is more sound teaching than that of history teaching by example. We may read history as a romance, but the close stud nit will discover that the lessons and impressive suggestions must, if attended to, be productive of good. Republics have existed and passed away, and this, with all its prestige and strength, and all the warnings of its founders, is not beyond the possi? bility of a similar fate. The radical idea that tho negro is quite as civil? ized and qualifiedfor high places and great duties as the white man, is pressed persistently upon us, and the indications-are not. wanting that it will be until we run the race which has befallen all republics which have gone before us. It has been remarked by one who studies the signs of tho times intelligibly, that while we may not, like them, pass away, there is danger that, like others, tho Govern? ment will lose its republican features and the people their liberties and boasted civilization. The Cincinnati Enquirer, in reply to oue of its city cotemporaries, puts this matter in a strong light. It says: "People survive after they become incapable of material progress, and have lost their political vitality. It is probable that the Indians, who in habitated tins country when it was discovered. Mere the descendants ol the mound-builders. They had lost all traditions of their former great? ness, in the lapse of, perhaps, hun? dreds of centuries, and yet they ha<3 not passed away. The process of ex tinetion was following slowly aftei that of degradation, and would, per? haps, eventually have depopulates tin1 land. Nations and civilizatior. do grow up, culminate and expire. The glorious days of Greece were in eluded in a period of two or thre< centuries; those of Rome in ?even oi eight. Asia Minor was once th? richest and most populous country ii thc world; now it is a desert, with : few degenerate inhabitants. Th? strongest nation and the highest civil ization is-if tho teachings of tb past arc to be believed-destined t< work out its mission and dissolve Nations are like fruits; some bang 01 and ripen, and some are scarce! formed before they drop off and de cay. Mexico, in 1S20, was prc nouucod by au impartial observer B i- n Humboldt-to be equal ii wealth, activity, population and pros poets, to the United States. Wher und what is she now, with her fros] revolution and new constitution ever, two years'? A mere beggar ia th family of nations. Is there not, a least, some ?lange;- that this boaste Republic will rot before it is ripe and fall, leaving for its legacy only a example to be shunned, and a prece dent to be avoided ?" God only knows what the destin of this country is to bo. We full and firmly believe that radicalisi will have to be rooted out by violen measures, and that Andrew Johnso can alone save Mic country. The rr dical Congress to meet in a fe weeks, if not restrained by const tntional measures, will plunge th country in ineffable woe, and ove; turu all our existing institutions. Maryland. In the anguish and desperation ? their late unexpected defeat, the Ba timore radicals have determined \ make one more effort to recover the lust power, by adopting universal n< gro suffrage. Their plans aro di closed in tho following whining d spatch, sent as soon as .'he result < the election was known to the Phil delphia Press. One of the papers? their sympathizing friend, Forne; discloses their designs: H ALTIMORE, November G.-Col. . W. Forney, Editor of the Pres Philadelphia: The radicals have lo the city by at least 1,()0U majori!; and probably the State by a very lie vy vote. In some Counties, soldie in thc Confederate uniform vote and, in some districts of Baltimo: County, Unionists were not allow? to vote at all. The radicals made a gallant figb but the Washington interference d h ated them. Again tho path to tl capital will be controlled by rebels. A special despatch to the Pre says the conservatives are howlit over their victory, and have threate ed to attack the American office ai the radical headquarters. The rat! cals rallied aud drove them out Baltimore street. Much excitemei prevails, and tho city reminds me thc night of April 19, 18G1. The n gro suffrage men are not much tro bled. Their party sb .ted to-nigh and will undoubtedly be the party the future. Some person told Judj Bond, to-night, that the Unionh were defeated. He replied, he fe like Martha and Mary at tho gra of Lazarus, "If thou (the neg voter) had been there, our broth had not died." Thc Next Congre??. 1 he Philadelphia Age says that it is now openly announced hythe radi- \ cals, that the conservative members , elect from Maryland will not be ad- ? mitte;! to Congress. No matter what i may be the vote east'for the conser? vative party-no matter how posi? tively the popular vote may declare in favor of tho true friends of tho Union and the Constitution-no ono < elected in Maryland is to be permit? ted to represent the will of tho ma? jority, who is opposed to the mad and treasonable schemes of the Con? gressional junta. Having failed to excite a new rebellion, and not suc? ceeding in their wicked desire to "drench the streets of Baltimore with blood," the radicals intend to transfer their factious opposition to the laws'from Maryland to Washing? ton, and they now propose to exclude from Congress the legally-elected Representatives of a State that was never out of the Union. This is no idle threat on the part of tho de? structives. They turned out of the Senate the Hon. John P. Stockton, legally elected from New Jersey, and committed a number of similar out? rages in the House; of Representa? tives, lu their lust for power, they hesitate at no wrong, and they will not stop at any crooked path which leads to the consummation they de? voutly seek. We are not much surprised at this determination on the part of the radi? cals; but calm, cool, quiet and dis? passionate men will foresee, in thia determination of tho Jacobins, a de? liberate attempt to overturn the in? stitutions of tho country. Tho his? tory of the great Amcricau republic is yet unwritten, but we fear for the record the historian may have to trace. ST. MICHAL'S CHI-RCII.- The Charleston papers state that this venerable edifice-tue oldest now standing in the city-has been reno? vated, and will bo re-opened to-day. The News says : "It was designed by Sir Christo? pher Wren, the architect of St. Paul's, London. The corner-stone was laid in 1752, and ten years were occupied in its erection, public service not being held in it until the 1st of Feb? ruary, 17()'2. AU of the material used in its construction was imported from abroad-even the wood, mostly cy? press and cedar, being brought from the Bermudas. The chime of bells, which were sent to their original foundry in England to be remoulded, have been shipped from Liverpool, and are now daily expected." HARD.-The Tribune is much exer? cised at the lies written to the Eu? ropean press in reference to American politics, and attributes to them the strong sympathy manifested abroad for thc cause of the South. If hard lying could secure foreign sympathy, the North ought to have had it all ber own way. Tun ELECTIONS.-The Richmond Times says: The elections up to this lime give thirty-four Republicans in the Senate to six Democrats, with twelve vacan? cies to be lilied, without c ounting the members from any o? the States of the South except Tennessee. Cf the t welve vacancies, ten will undoubted? ly be filled by Republicans, viz: One from Illinois, one from Indiana, two from Kansas, one from Missouri, one from New York, omi from New Jer? sey, one from Nevada, one from Pennsylvania, and one from Wiscon? sin. Kentucky will, of course, elect a Democrat, and probably Maryland also. This will give, with twenty-six States represented, forty-four Repub? licans to eight Democrats. So far, the House of Representa? tives, exclusive of the South, stands: Republicans one hundred and twenty three. Democrats thirty-eight. We have counted among the Democrats Ross and Burr, of Illinois, Anderson, of New York, Anderson, of Missouri, and Newell and Rogers, of New Jer? sey, whose "Democrac y" or conser? vatism is at least doubtful. Connect -ut, California, Kentucky, New liai, A.shire, Rhode Island and Tennessee, choosing twenty-nine members, are yet to elect. Of these, the Republicans will probably carry the four Districts in Connecticut, the three in California, tho three in New Hampshire, the two in Rhode Island, and two of tho nine in Kentucky, while of the eight in Tennessee no proper estimate can be given. Tin-: IRISH EMIGRATION.-The emi? gration from tho South of Ireland, partially suspended during tho har? vest, is reviving. The Cork Examiner remarks that a "considerable portion of tho emigration takes place through pre-paid tickets, the friends of parties in America paying their passage money there, and during the past two months the number of pre-paid pass? ages has greatly increased. This shows the great auxiety of the Irish in America to have their countrymen out there." Statt' Items. UN??.-The Journal says: Mon? day hist being sale-day, a largo num? ber of our country friends were pre? sent. The Sheriff and Commissioner in Equity disposed of a large amount of land, most of which brought very fair prices. YORK.-At a public meeting of tho citizens of York District, tho follow ing resolutions were adopted: 1. That we are decidedly in favor of the call of a Convention of the people of this State at an early dav. 2. That should the L?gislature refuse to call said Convention, then we respectfully ask our Senators and Representatives to advocate a further suspension of the Courts and such other measures of relief from thc en? forced collections of debts, as the necessities of the country require. That it is right and just that the creditor should lose a part of his claim, where the debts are made prior to thc war-that we ure op? posed to the District Courts us now organized; and we request our dele? gation to urge a repeal of tho Act establishing said ('oort. .i. That we are in favor of a home? stead law in fly's State. On motion of J. N. McElwee, Jr., it was resolved, that other Districts be requested to hold meetings for the purpose of instructing their mem? bers to* vote for the call of a conven? tion of thc people of this State. Honors to tile Confederate l>eiMl. We copy the following from thc Richmond Examine)': The bazaar to be held in this city in February, by the '..Ladies' Holly? wood Memorial Association," we re? joice to know, promises a success commensurate with the noble spirit which luis prompted it. ft consti? tutes au important feature in the arrangements, which the Lubes are consummating, with the view of ob? taining thc funds requisite to the accomplishment of their patriotic en? terprise. It is expected that the proceeds from the bazaar and the subscrip? tions received by agents, to be ap? pointed in the cities and Counties of tho various Southern Stales, will aggregate a very large, if not an ample, sum. Every Southern com? munity should feel interested in pre? venting a disappointment of this reasonable expectation of the ladies. The preservation from desecration ?md decay, and the appropriate deco? ration of thc graves of Confederate soldiers, is a high and holy duty, from? which thc South could not escape if she would, without a confes? sion of indifference to the noblest impulses which sway thc human heart. Our poor boys who rallied to the defence of home and fireside, and of the solemn convictions which were the guide of our forefathers, fell in m unsuccessful struggle. Their blood baptized a "conquered banner." upon whose folds, thanks to their glorious valor, no stain (d' dishonor rests, and fattened a land over which an author? ity rules alien to that, which they fought to establish. There is no "Government," State or Federal, to cjather into extensive cemeteries and show}- sepulchres the bleaching bones .)f the patriots who fell in vain. Despite the odious charge of "trea? son," which is sought to be fastened apon their memories, the graves of ' Ibo brave "rebels" who made Ma? ntissas, Shiloh and Gettysburg the dtars of patriotic self-immolation, ?hall not want the marks of honor lue their services and tho cause for ivhich they fell. With us, their memories should be. hallowed as of ibo "Bravo who sink to rest, liv all their country's wishes blest." The humblest contribution, though t may not raise an aspiring shaft of marble or bronze, .shall assist to per? petuate a laurel or evergreen upon a .atriotic grave. Hollywood should >ecome a splendid necropolis of -' mthern heroism, and every spot of ur fair huid consecrated as the rest ng-place of a Confederate soldier should emulate its. memorial honors o the glorious dead. WORK OK JEALOUSY.-A despatch rom Toledo. Ohio, of the 1th, says: A horn'olo double murder was eoni nitted at Coldwater, Michigan, last light. Mrs. Ebenezer Leach and ieorge Brown, a young lawyer, were thot dead while walking, together in he streets: The murderer is the msbandof Mrs. Leach, and has been irrested. Jealousy is supposed to be he cause. sim? MOWS. POUT Ol' CHARLESTON. NOV. lo. A MUTED YESTERDAY. Iteamship Whirlwind, Fargo, Philadelphia. WEST TO SEA YESTERDAY. iteamship Sea (lull, Dutton.

Nov 11 1 WAR IN A NEW QUARTER.-The Atlantic Telegraph brings us news that France has declared war against Corea. This last is not a familiar name to readers of newspapers, hut is nevertheless the designation of a country quito important for several commercial purposes. Corea is, a peninsula in the North-east of Asia, projecting South-easterly into tho ocean, which it divides into tho Sea of Japan on the East, and the Yellow Sea ou the West. Et has never been accurately surveyed, and little more is known of it than that it is about GOO miles long by 135 wide; that it is inhabited by about 20,000,000 of people; that its "foreign policy" is more Chinese than inc Chinese; and that, although not ?erv fertile, nor particularly well provided with ports, it lias several harbors which might be made excellent naval stations. The extremity of the peninsula is a con? venient point d'appui for an attempt either upon China or upon Japan; the direct distance to the mouth of the Hoang-Ho being only some eighty miles, and to the Western? most end of Japan still less than that. Wc may conjecture that France ex? pects to share with her Muscovite rival in the partition of tho goods and chattels of the "sick man" of Asia; and to regain in the North of Asia the prestige which Clyde and Hastings long ago wrested from .hei? rn thc South. It is an odd coincidence that we should publish on the same morn? ing the news of the final relinquish? ment by France of ber schemes of empire in the Western world, and of this attempted compensation in the "most Eastern East." [New York World. Thc result of the election in Balti? more city is a glorious vindication of popular right. Through the efforts of Gov. Swann, the people of Mary? land have been re-enfranchised. Their oppressors have been over? whelmingly defeated, and are already begiuning to repent their misdeeds. I Notional Intelligencer. BANKS AND BUTLER.-These two splendid military failures have both been returned to Congress from Mas? sachusetts by large majorities. Bitt? ier promised in advance to impeach the President. As something like a year must elapse before bc can have the opportunity, be will probably m-vcr redeem tho pledge. THE NEW OKLEANS RIOT.-It is stated on very good authority that the President has ordered Gen. She? ridan not to make any arrests under Grant's famous order, which affects forty-four persons accused of com? mitting murders on the 13th of July, at tbe time of the convention riots in New Orleans. Through the manly and generous intervention of Gen. Tillson, of the Freedmen's Bureau, the President has sent a pardon to cx-Maj. Gen. LaFayette McLaws, of Augusta, Ga., who was elected, last winter, Clerk of the Superior Court, but who was pro? hibited by military order from execut? ing bis duties. The Sumter News states that* Hon. H. T. Peake. Superintendent of the South Carolina Railroad, says his line will carry cotton to New York as cheap as any other route, and if necessary to do so. will transport cotton over the South Carolina Road free of charge. MARYLAND.-Judge Magruder, of the Maryland Circuit Court of Ap? peals, bas decided that a negro can? not testify in a case where a white man is concerned. This decision will have the effect of over-ruling the de? cision of tho District Courts. COTTAGE TO RENT, 'r-H.
