COLUMBIA. Tue>iay Morning, Nov. 20, 186G. Tin- Hising Generation, (7ue of our Northern cotempora ri?3 calls attention to tho fact that in New York and other lauge cities tho proportion of shiftless, good-for-no? thing young men has largely increased within tho past few years, and very forcibly accounts for such a condi? tion of things by attributing it to a spirit of falso pride, which induces parents to put their buys in stores and offices rather than apprentice them to good trades. Another New York paper-the Tintes, we think-some time ugo cdied attention to the same .subject, aud said that many employers, in various branches of mechanical and manufacturing industry, complained of tho great difficulty of getting Ame? rican lads as apprentices to learn such crafts and pursuits as require time, patience, application and laborious activity. This exchange cited thc cases of two employers in their efforts to hire boys. One wanted a hui tc attend to au office or store, and be fore tho day closed had scores o! applications, aud suited himself. Tin other-needed a dozen apprentices U learn a light mechanical trade, whiel required time and application to bc come proficient in. Some three o: four applicants made their appear ance, but after learning tho remun e ration-which was necessarily small a first-and learning the nature of tin employment, and the time it wouh take to learn the business, theyturne< ou their heels and went, off to lini easier, and what, doubtless, they cou sidered more genteel, employment. This is all wrong-wrong in theor and wrong in practice. The man wh makes tho best citizen and proves t be thc most useful to himself an society, is not generally found to b a youth who was afraid of manu: labor, or who had a fancy for sellin dry goods, and also prided himself o his white, soft hands. These arc n< the young men who roll on tl wheels of progress, who occupy high place in developing the resouro of their country. But this is not al those engaged in stores or office wear rino doilies and are oftc tempted to do wrong, to mainta: their style; they have more leisu time-?-time generally frittered aw; or spent in a worse way-than tl youths wno are engaged in learnit good trades, and who in a few yea step out into society with the co soiousncss that they have a right enter it, prepared as they are to co tribute to its interests and prosperit and to take their places among tl workers of tlyu land. But if this change, which has cor over parents within t he past few yeal (for it was not so fifty years ago,) to be deprecated at the North or eh where, how much more is it to bo tl plorcd, should itprevailat the Sout With her work-shops, her manuff tories, her agricultural implemer all destroyed; her manufacturers, n chanics and contractors pretty ger rally ruined, pecuniarily; her cit: and towns nearly all more or less i jared, and needing rebuilding; ma of thc mechanic - and artizans f morly among us. gone lo other ,t tious-what are we to do, if the yoi of tho South grow up without 1 practical knowledge so necessary tho work of recuperation? Oar s tion will require, for many years como, mechanics and artizans in ev> branch of the trades, and it will more difficult than ever to get th from abroad.

Turc CHARLESTON MERCURY.-After i a suspension of nearly two years, this old and favorito paper resumed pub I licatiou yesterday, under the editorial managementfof Messrs. R. B. Rhett ' and Brother, assisted by F. W. Daw son, Esq. With tho exception of thc headiug, the "get up" of tho paper i hus been entirely ehanged-in fact, so entirely different from ?ts former I style, that its most intimate friends would hardly recognize it. In their salutatory, thc editors say they have no desire- to extenuate, to palliate, or to excuse thc part that the paper has played in thc politics of the country. "We do not believe much in death-bed repentances and spasmodic reforms. Wc shall neither spread a lie, upon our past conduct, by avouching repentance that we do not feel, nor live a lie now by pro? testations that would bo false. What we have done, we have doue-what we have written, we have written. It stands upon the record. That man who will belie Iiis past, can give nt guarantee for his future." It is rumored in New York, on general authority, that Head ('entre Stephens left on Friday for soui( point on the Irish shore, and that lu i is fully ready to begin his programme of revolution under the green flag. The Cincinnati Enquirer's Wash ingtou correspondence says Genera Dick Taylor is now co-operating witl several Republican members in Con gress in a patriotic work of tho great cst importance, and which, if it shal be consummated, will be hailed wit] joy by all good men, irrespective o party. The particulars of this pa triotic movement I expect to bc a liberty to make known in a few days -.->?-? ALABAMA.-Governor Parsons, i his message, thus speaks of the prc posed constitutional amendment: "I am decidedly of tho opinio that this amendment should not b ratified. Tho first section embodit a principio dangerous to th? libertic of the people of tho whole country and is as applicable to New York an Massachusetts as Alabama. Thothir section would briug no possible goo to tho represented States, while would reduce those unrepresented t utter anarchy and ruin. We are sh cerely desirous of completo restor tion to tho Union. We want concili tion, harmony and national trai quility. We feel we have given evei evidence of honest purpose to coi form in good faith to the condition i things surrounding us. ''Alabama is as true to-day to tl Constitution and laws of the Gener Government as any State of tl Union. Under the internal roveni law tax on cotton, the people of th State are now paying a revenue the G overnment of nearly S 10,00D,0( a year. In tho enactment of the laws, we had no voice. The amen meut was proposed when nearly on third of the States were unrepr sented, and all its features are aime at the States tims excluded. The ral ideation of such an amendment, und such circumstances, cannot accoi plish auy^good to the country, ai might bring irretrievable disaster." - PEACE EV BALTIMORE.-The de< sion of Judge Bartol, of the Cou of Appeals of Maryland, that the n< Police Commissioners of Baltimo were improperly committed by Jud Bond, and that they are tho propel appointed Commissioners, seems, f tho time, to have settled tho quest! I and brought peace to a disturbed cit j Immediately on being released, t new Commissioners issued the folio ing: OFFICE COMMISSIONERS BOARD POLICE BALTIMORE CITY, No 1 North street, Nov. 13, 'OG. The marshal and other officers the police of Baltimore city, and members of tho existing' polico said city, are hereby strictly ordei and required not to obey any ord' that have emanated from the 1; board of police of said city since o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, or a orders that may emanate from s: late board at any time hereafter. Tho undersigned have now entei on tue performance of their duties Commissioners of Police, and th is no other authority which can lt fully act as a board of police of s: ! city. Persous interested are required, their peril, to obey this order. JAMES YOUNG. ; WM. THOS. VALIANT, Polico Commissioners Marshal Carmichael, the head the Baltimore police force, respont to a summons of the new Conan sioners, and, after a lengthy consu tion with them, it was determii that he would recognize their thority, and would make his rep< to them this morning. Other oflk of the force subsequently called, i had interviews with the new boar? Tho Mayor and tho old Police C< missioners havo not officially rec nixed tho now board, but it is une stood that they will make no furt resistance. t Recline ia Prices-Good New?. Wo see it stated that speculators entered tho markets, some weeks ago, and endeavored to control the price of grain and flour, and they succeed? ed in running these, articles up to very high figures. Flour for several weeks commanded higher prices than when gohl was at 285. But it seems now that 'hero are enough grain and Hour in the country to supply all de? mands. The Chicago Republican, of the 12th, says: The grain markets in this city dur? ing last weelc were subject to most violent fluctuations. On Monday last, No. 1 corn rose as high as SI. 10 per bushel, but the market gradually became weaker, till, on Saturday, it was sold as low as .So cents per bushel -a decline within live day:-: of 20 cents per bushel. During tho same period, thc wheat market was also unsettled, and we have to note a decline in prices of 22 cents per bushel on No. 1 spring, and 20@21c. per bushel qn No. 2. On Monday last, No. 1 spring wheat was ? sold in this market as high as $2.25 per bushel, and on Saturday last il closed at 82 per bushel.. . Oats declined 4)?c. per bushel din? ing the week. No. 1 rye opened oi ' Monday last at Si.O'.) per bushel, am closed on Saturday at 80c--a decline within flic week of 20c. per bushel No. 2 barley opened on Monday a j Sue. per bushel, ami fell on Saturday as low as Go., closing at G6@67c.-; decline on tin; week of 18@20c. pe: bushel. The Cincinnati Gazette, of the 13th .sings the same song of tuniblinj prices: From every quarter wc hav advices o? declining markets, fo almost every article of produce. A speculative feeding is. for th time, suspended, and operators ac as if the markets were believed to li bottomless. In New York, yesterdaj beef cattle sold at about what the costin Kentucky, and hogs broug] less than they were bought for i Chicago or Cincinnati. Mess pori which two weeks ago sold as big as$35, is down to $24:.7~>; lard ii; fallen from 2-Jc. to I le. for priim flour, wheat,?corn, rye, oats, Sec, In? been falling steadily, though sti comparatively high. Dry goods ai declining, as arc also groceries; an finally, fancy railroad stocks, whic were going up rapidly a few days agi are tumbling. This news from New ?ork bas i effect, of course, throughout tl West, and the great leveling prece is every whore experienced. Our despatches from Dexingto: tho great stock market for Centr Kentucky, report a deline in sher yesterday from Gc. to 4'?e. ; hog from Sc. to oatie. ; cattle, from 7a8e. 5aGc. ; horses 2u percent., and muli 815 per head. There is a bottom to the market of course, and the indications a that it will soon bc reached. Tl practice of hoarding produce, whit was rendered practicable by tl abundance and cheapness of moue rendered this break in the mark inevitable. To such a point hs values been carried, that expor were not only checked, but we we actually re-importing leading articl of produce from England. Now ti tables ar." turned, ?uni our forei* exports aro increasing. But money being plenty, the pr bability is that a violent re-?ctii will take place, and capitalists w again attempt to monopolize stoc and force prices up, compelling co sinners and producers to unite paying the fiddler. It will not be easy to do this, however, as it wu.?! 3'car ago. Within tho last six monti hoarding produce has not pai Within thc last sixty days, it li certainly proved a disastrous bu ness. And now let consumers see tl they get the advantage of tho i cline. Eet them bear in mind wh they go to their butcher, theirbak or their grocer, that there has beei large and pretty general decline prices recently; that hogs have fall thirty-three per cent , beef in p portion, and that nour is full a dol a barrel lower than it was a week aj [Cincinnati Gazette, loth Tho New York World notes quit panic in the meat market of that ci in consequence of a decline in prie It has a despatch from Buffalo, wh alleges that "tho Western drove who have been holding large quai ties, are heavy losers.'' The Wt adds: The extraordinary decline in p and "hog products" during tho \ month, resulted, on Monday, in failure of ono large operator and < or two "small fry."

In the second yeal the war, pork sold at $13 per bar Speculators must stand from undi " At least 200,000 people in tho A trian Empiro have been attacked the cholera, about one-half of wi: have died. Urca'Ust lift's for South Carolina? We publish, by request, tho fol? lowing communication from tho Charleston Courier: A late number of thc Darlington (S. C.) Southerner contains an edito? rial, giving a juan foi bringing corn direct from the West. At this season of tho year, tho proposed method is impracticable, as water navigation must soon close and tho transporta? tion will necessarily be confined to railroads. As usual in such cases, tho rates of freight will be advanced, which must advance at proportionate rates the price of breadstuffs. Ol course much will bo said .".bout extor? tion and fabulous prices, but this must be regulated by the demand, There tiro occasions when corn sells in this market at a loss of 15 to 2( cents per bushel. Corn sold in thb market, on the 3lst of October last at SI.30 per bushel. Tho price ii New York and Baltimore tit the sann time was from SI.28 to Si.30 pe: bushel. Tho cost to luv corn ii Charleston is from 25 to 35 cents pe bushol, according to freight, whethe shipped in steam or sail vessels This includes the cost of tho bags The policy of thc planter or consume is to buy at the nearest wholesal market. Corn has advanced in th last four weeks, in all other markets about 00 cents per bushel. By n?s j spring, when all the avenues are opeu the price of corn will decline. It i estimated that the corn crop in th United States will bo 1,000,000,00 of bushels. The wheat crop is nt so good. California, though, wi have 12,(100,000 bushels of wheat t spare. There are now 500,000 bi shels of wheat on the way from Sn Francisco to New York. Tho writer of this will undertake 1 bring 50,000 bushels corn to th market every month, if tho Statt; < South Carolina will furnish a cred of $24,000. The corn will be sold ' tho rich and poor alike, in quanti ti from one bushel up to 1,000, at tl cost price, adding only 2'.j per ce* for commissions. To insure tl faithfully carrying out of this prop sition, let a committee be appoint) in this city, to whom all invoices ai bills of lading shall be open for i sped iou. Tliis will prevent extortit or fabulous prices. There ticed n be any apprehension about the su ply of corn. Charleston will recci millions (d' bushels. On an averap it can be purchased at lowar rai than it' brought from abroad. Tl fact is well known to nil practical 1 sincss men. The idea of extortion has explode since the commerce of the world open to all of us. The old sayi is, water will lind its level; ami so w corn. The writer remembers when th< was a great cry of scarcity of corn this State, in the year 1849. At c time dnnng that year, there wt afloat in this port 100,000 bushels corn in vessels from various ports the country, and the same thing v happen again. There shonid be no apprehensi in regard to the future supply breadstuff's. There ari? causes pries t<> remain high until in spring. j Tho (dd crop is now entirely j hausted and the new crop is not j ready for market. Navigation A soon close. The present stock in j city of New York is sufficient for winter supply, and the resources transportation are limited. Thor also a large demand for Europe. rJ deficiency in the wheat crop will h to be made up in corn, of wh I 1,000,000,000 of bushels will be m this year. E. A. N CHARLESTON, November 2, 18C6.

Tlic Meteoric Shower in England, A special despatch to thc Xcw York Herald, published below, shows that thc people of England were more for? tunate than we on this side. A great many people profess, however, not to believe the Herald's special: GREENWICH OBSERVATORY, KNC nA.Ni>, November 1! G A. M.- The expected meteoric showers were ob? served last night. At ii o'clock, afew meteors fell; at ll o'clock, they had increased in number and size; and between 1 ?ind 2 o'clock this morning tho maximum was reached. Tb?, night was clear, and the stars wert out in great numbers. The whol< heavens were brilliantly illuminated. M'iie showers of meteors were o' great beauty and brilliancy, am radiated from the constellation Leo noar the star (?anuna Leonis. Theil direction was mostly from the Eas to thc West. The paths of the me tours were from three to four degree: in the North. Near Ursa Major twenty or thirty were observed at on time, and crossing the zenith fifty o sixty more, of unusual size and dura j tion, tho majority being larger thai , stars of the first magnitude. Severn 1 exploded from the vicinity of Jupiter one, of immense dimensions, wa colored red, blue, green, orango an amber. Nearly all had trails of fin Of two flaming from Leo at the sam time, one crossed Beta Gcminorui and the other Mars. Two more-on red and the other of an oriental sar. phire color-crossed Alpha Orionis. Some of thc meteors burst forth i i splendor; one, breaking behind til ! rising clouds, flashed like sheet ligli tiing, and another- of emerald ht: burst noar Eta Leonis at fifteen m ?utes after 2 o'clock a. ni., its trail< j flame being visible for a minute ar a half, and then faded away in bri liant, nebul?c. At M a. m., they commenced to <j minish gradually, until, at, tho pr sent moment, they are all. meten and stars, fading away in thc mor ing light.

Tlie Bichmond Times has its o\ peculiar way of talking on the sn jects it discusses. Speaking .of o relations with Mexico, it says: The purpose of the United Stat now that, they have bought Loi Napoleon out and vindicated t Monroe doctrine, to establish a pi tectorate over Mexico cannot doubted. Having assumed, in negotiations with the French K peror, the payment of the Fran English debt of Mexico, the Unit -.States are to have pledged to the as security for its repayment to the tho four Northern Provinces of Me co resting on our Southern fronti Louis Napoleon, having thus seem his claims, withdrawn his troops, a the United States steps in to act 1 part of uurso to Juarez and keep li in his seat for the presentas the lu of the Mexican Government. Tile result of all this is easily fe seen. Tin? poor '.Greasers'' o exchange the Frenchman for North American. The United Stn eventually takes possession of Lo1 California, Sonora and Chihuah and finally, if Juarez, or any ot protege, cuts any capers, or becoi unmanageable, she will absorb whole of the richest mineral conn in the world.

"Do not ?hoot Mr, H.; if you want to shoot any one, shoot me." Bass attempted to take t lie pistol from her, but failed. He then stepped several paces from her, presented his pistol three times and the fourth time fired, the ball taking effect in the abdomeu of the unfortunate woman. She called to a friend near by to I take car?; of her. as she was shot and ready to faint. Mrs. II. was taken into ?. tho bouse, apparently suffering greatly. Dr. Talley was called in and rendered all pos? sible medical assistance. She lingered until Sunday afternoon, when she expired.
