' COLUMBIA. ? Wednesday Morning, Dec. 5, 18?>?i. ? Ww ix ii Epidemic. The causes of war are n?>rc dr less * involved in obscurity, like those of i epidemic diseases; they sometimes- ?'. remain.latent "ml smouldering for a long period, until some chance spark 1 kiudlcs!a conflagration, which spreads ] swift ruin far beyond tho boundaries 1 of tho country where it first blazed < forth. That tho mind is liable, like 1 tho body, to epidemics, is shown in religion, in politics, in monetary affairs and in fashions. Opinions and fashions spring up, prevail and sub? side, like a genuine epidemic. In politics, the revolutionary agitations, in tho. latter half of thc eighteenth century, and the reform movements in the present century, were epi? demics. And to the latter, we may add tho pestilence of war, which so lately raged four yeai-3 throughout our own broad country, devastating the cities and plains of the South. Tho recent European war was an epidemic which spread with marvel? lous rapidity from the shores of the Baltic to those of the Mediterranean. Its contagious influence threatened at one moment to overspread all Europe; and, suddenly, as it seemed to subside, after having swept through Prussia, Italy, Austria, Bavaria, Saxony, Wurtemburg, llanover and the little cluster of Northern States, there is no telling how soon at may again burst forth with fresh and re? doubled fury. With thc guns of Candia booming again on ouu ears, we listen for Russian cannon that may roar in a new Crimean campaign. In thc busy hum of industry in all the armories and arsenals of France, in thc universal armament? in pro? gress throughout Europe-Russia swelling her ranks by 300,000 recruits, Prussia organizing for new coi ps, Austria remodelling and reforming, all States, large and small, infected with the mania for "big battalions," testing new weapons and discussing new military systems-in all these sigus of the times, we see premonitory symptoms of another epidemic of war. Insurrections in Spain, . and last, not least, the Fenian outbreak in Great Britain, together with dull rumors of an impending war between that country and the United States, aro additional illustrations of war as epidemic. The millenium which shall cure it has not yet dawned. AN OCKAN YACHT RACE.-Tho New Yorkers go it on a grand figure. Thc papers state that a good deal of in? terest is felt in the forth-coming yacht race across tho Atlantic. Three yachts-the Fleefcwing, owned by Mr. Osgood;-the Vesta, by Mr. Lonnard and the Henrietta, by J. G. Bennett; Jr.-start from that port for Cowes, on thc 11th of December, thc one ar? riving first to be entitled to the sun of $90,000, which has been staked oi tho result. AxTi-RiruAii MOVEMENT.-A num? ber of tho - Episcopal clergy in Nev York aro engaged in a movement t< modify very materially, if not abo lish altogether,, the ritual of tha church. The movement seems to b co-operativo with the efforts of a simi lar character in England. The prc sent ritual undoubtedly needs revi sion. The morning service is prc tractcd and heavy. Many obsolet words are retained, and some tha arc used now mean precisely opposit their original meaning. A bill riassed both branches of th Mississippi'Legislature restoring a lands soh'' for taxes of 18G1,1802 an 1SG3, to their owners, provided tho wcro in 18G1 citizens of the Stat? and still continuo to be, upon pa; ment of costs, and any amount < county tax the State may have pa: sineo she acquired title. This is very judicious measure, and if su( an one is demanded in this State, v hope tho Legislature will pass i Whatever can bo legally done for tl relief of the people should enlist tl attention and prompt action of tl Logislature. ORANGES.-Tho Louisiana Plante, Banner says: "Oranges now lo many trees in this Parish, and th? golden fruit looks tempting to t passer-by. No fruit tree on earth c be more beantiftd than the oran tree, loaded with it? yellow, li cicna, autumnal crop, hanging up branches amidst thousands of gloj leaves of tho richest h nc." Weshoi say KO. LOSSES OF THE UNITED STATES j FROOFS Dvjxgxo THE WAK.-Tho re ^ort of tho United States Provost Marshal-Gencrai, which has recently t>ee? published, contains some enn? ui;! statistical information, it sccm3 ?hat, under the Act of March :*>, ?-,?Ji?4,Ot>5 men were enrolled in thc "loyal'.' States, exclusive of 1,000,510 then under anns. Tho deserters ar? rested andreturned to thc army num? bered 70,520, tho highest ratio of desertion, per thousand, being in Connecticut, whereat reached 117.23. It is, of course, considered probable, by the Provost Marshal-General, that nearly all thc deserters -.vere foreign? ers, and he states that thc great mass of tho bounty-jumpers were noto? riously so. The casiy?*ies in the entire military force of the United States, during the Avar, as shown by tho official muster-rolls and monthly returns, include 5.'221 commissioned ofliccrs and 70, SOS .enlisted- men killed in action, or died of wounds while in service; 5,321 commissioned officers and 182,320 enlisted men who died from disease or accident; making an aggregate <>[ 2S0,739 officers and men of' the army who lost their lives in service. Among the negro troops, the deaths by disease were largely dispropor tioned to those by the casualties of war, bein;;- 141.39 per thousand, against 42.27 per thousand in the white regulars, while in battle tho ratio was bat 10.11, against 35.10. ANOTHER REASON FOE DEFEATTNG THE AMENDMENT-A JORI:.-In tho recent Women's Rights Convention at Albany, Mr. Pillsbury offered the following: 'Resolved, That the introduction of lhe word'male,' threo times re? peated iu the constitutional amend? ments now pending before the States, is a gross insult to all womankind everywhere, and au outrage on the genius of the nineteenth century; and on that ground alone, were there no other reason, we earnestly hope those amendments will bo repudiated." This resolution was adopted with great applause. GRAND RAFFLE FOR A PLANTATION. -Thc great feature of the Louisiana Agricultural Fair, was the grand rat? tle for the Cola Spring Plantation, valued at $40,000. The plantation contains, 2,400 acres, 1,000 of which aro cleared, and is situated in tho finest cotton region of Louisiana. There is a largo and commodious dwelling ou tho place, nicely furnish? ed throughout, with kitchen and all necessary out-houses. Tho quarters capable of accommodatingfifty hands, with the stables, gin house, grist mill, smoke-house, blacksmith shop, etc., arc all in splendid repair. Thc plantation is well stocked in horses, cattle, hogs etc., and has corn, hay, fodder, etc., enough for the next season. The tickets were fixed at S5. CHANGE OF TACTICS.-Gen. Forrest recently addressed the citizens oi Little Hock, on thc subject of thc railroad iu course of . construction from that city to Memphis. Ile is reported to have humorously said that lie had changed his policy in regard to railroads; that ho had de? voted much atteusion in the past t<^ learing them up, but that he wishet to devote all his energies hereafter tc laying them down. Here is an argu ment l'or practical reconstruction. We trust it will be favorably receivet by such papers at thc North as pro fess to believe that the "rebels" o Hie South are unwilling to eugagc ir thc work of reconstruction. George Washington, a nephow o the immortal, died suddenly a fe^ days since, in Wilmington, Clintoi County, Ohio, while attending a eas he had in court. His remains wer taken to Prince William County, fo; interment. A bill has been passed by tho Ten nessco House of Representatives appropriating the Hermitage prc perty and 200 acres of the Lome c Gen. Jackson to the General Goveri ment, to bo uso! as a brauch of th West Point Military Academy. A Mr. Jerome, of New York cit} has a private theatre attached to h residence, in which completo Italia operas arc given, to a select andiene of two hnndrcd. SHIP JIKWS. PORT OF CHARLESTON. DEC. 1.
