Thc Printing Again.
Thc South Carolinian, of yesterday,
publishes (to the exclusion of tele?
grams and other news) two columns
of puerile twaddle, on the would-be
facetious order, purporting to bo a
reply to our remarks, on Saturday, in
relation to the State printi g; but, as
usual, -with, its accustomed slippery
adroitness, avoids the discussion of
any point made in our statements,
and shirks the true issue. Wc have
only to state, that what was said in
our former article was correct in c -'cry
particular, and we flatly deny xhe
repeated assertion, that application
was made at the Phoenix office ior
assistance, or that wc were in any
way responsible for the dilatory man?
ner in which the printing has "neon
executed. So far as the amount of
work is* concerned, it c:in be shown,
by r.u examination of the printing of
last year, that there was fully as much
executed as at this session. Any one
at all familiar with the State printing,
knows that the work is hurd; but with
the facilities now attainable, wc em?
phatically declare ' that delays ure
inexcusable.
As to the the remainder of thc mat?
ter in thc two-column bantling,
hatched after three days' incubation,
it is really not wo--th notice. The
Phoenix office-the building, wc
mean-seems to be a terrible eye-sore
to the proprietor of the Carolinian.
We pity thc man whom brick, mor?
tar and granite can constantly excite
to envy and jealousy. He had better
put up a thick curtain-old newspa?
pers will answer-in his window, and
in his daily peregrinations avoid
the route that takes him past thc
PJioenix office. Ile may then have a
little more quiet and peuce of mind.
But as the proprietor of tho Caroli?
nian has various modes of raising
money, he may be able, ere long, to
"run a muck" with the PJioenix in!
the granite-front line.
JSometirnes thc types unintention
Lspoak the truth. In the last
taph of the article, the author
le to say : "One more word,
are down."' We hope he will
not attempt to drag others to his own
level.
As there is no limit to radical pro?
gress in the road to ruin, there is no
reason why thc radical programme
should be complete when the South?
ern Stales are "resolved"' into terri?
tories. Tho next stop is to revert
them to a colonial condition, which
leaves Great Britain to step in and
claim what was was once her own,
the vast and valuable stretch of coun?
try which radicalism refuses to recog?
nize as part of the Union.
CONFEDERATE BONDS.-Advices re?
ceived by the steamship Cuba, report
that there "was some demand for
'Confederate bonds' in London on
thc 30th of November, and prices im?
proved to 6@6}*."
It is stated semi-officially that Gen.
Almonte hus received assurances by
telegraph that Maximilian has aban?
doned his intention of leaving Mexi?
co, and of an avowed determination
to put himself at the head of loyal
Mexicans and fight for his crown.
The dwelling of James Miller, at
Kock Island, was destroyed by fire
on Sunday. His mother, aged seven?
ty years, and two sons, were burned
to death, and another son was so bad?
ly burned that he is not expected to
live.
A Washington despatch says a
movement is being organized there
to run Speaker Colfax as the Repub?
lican candidate for President at tho
next election, with Senator Howard
as Vice-President.
We regret to learn that the store of
Messrs. Croswell A Co., at Ninety
Six, was entirely destroyed by fire
last Sunday morning; the work of an
incendiary. Total loss $14,000; in?
surance ??"1,000.
The London Times of this morning
contains a telegram from Berlin,
which says the Pope of Rome has
been officially invited to visit the
United States.
The Georgia Legislature adjourned
sine die on the 14th inst. Tho Senate
passed the Homestead Bill over the
veto of the Governor. The House
refused to do so.
The New York Herald considers
Greeley "a dead cock in the pit" so
far as his election to the United States
Senate is concerned.
The Spanish journals reccommend

ciety.
Tho Legislature of Alabama ad?
journed on Friday last, to meet again
on the 15th of January next.
A MANLY SPEECH.-In the House
of Representatives, on Wednesday,
Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, said:
Ho had never feared to state his
position, and he would say now that
ho deeply sympathized with the down?
trodden people of tho South, that
they were governed by a despotism,
and that the conduct of the present
Congress toward the South would it?
self bc a sufficient cause for a rebellion.
He protested and would always pro?
test against all despotism every where.
He protested against the despotism
of this Congress, and he warned the
people of the whole country that their
liberties ware about being takeu
away from thom by a set of crazy fa?
natics. He was for general aniuesty
at a!l events
Tho whole object of the legislation
of Congress seemed to be to puuish
the South. He had yet to hear ut?
tered in tho House, except by a few
individuals? the first word of mag
namity toward the South, the first
principle of. Christianity cited in their
behalf. The people of the South
were a brave people. To be Sure,
they had rebelled against the Govern?
ment, but iu doing so they hud done
only what thousands upon thousands
of brave people had done before iu all
ages of the world.
Mr. Rogers drew a parallel between
the condition of Ireland and that of j
the South, quoting as applicable to
the latter the pi litical uxioui that
taxation without representation is
tyranny, and said that the whole
South was unrepresented in any way
in Congress, except the single State
of Tennessee, which, however, had
not proper representation, and had
not a republican form of government,
but was governed by a despotism.
ARREST or TOE NOTOKIOT-S SWAYZE.
-Tlie Griffin Southern Herald, of
thc 13th, contains the following par
graph:
"The notorious J. C. Swayze was
arrested yesterday, at the instance
of Mr. J. C. Briggs, ex-Fede?
ral soldier, and former partner
of Swayze, in the negro brokerage
business, instituted since the war, at
this place. The cause of the arrest,
we learn, was, that this man Swayze
had posessiou of money that belongs
in part to Briggs, and which ho re?
fuses to pay over, and to secure which
Briggs had him arrested, and his
property attached. Bonds were re?
quired, but up to the time of writing
had not been given, Swayze remain?
ing in the custody of Sherill' Boyal."
And this is the man at whose in?
stance six of our citizens have been
arrested, their homes invaded, fami?
lies insulted, aud themselves impris?
oned in Fort Pulaski!
The Chicago Republican Company
was called upon yesterday by a com?
mittee of ladies of the Southern Or
phau Relief Association, for a contri?
bution to build a home for destitute
children of deceased Confederate
soldiers. We responded liberally,
? with a contribution of $500 iu Con
I federate curreney. We hope the
I people of Chicago generally, and
? without distinction of party, will dis
i play a like liberality. Above all. let
j us regard the feelings of these noble
! recipients too chivalrously to offend
? them by the oiler in greenbacks.
[Chicago Republican, B?i.
Such is the radical spirit of cou
; ciliation.
We would willingly wager our life
that the mun who wrote the above
paragraph never fired a shot in de?
fence of the Union. Both by instinct
and association he can be none other
than a coward with a liver as white
as his heart is black.
The Memphis Poul tolls a story
I greatly to the honor of a son of Gen.
Lee. Ata dinner party in Richmond,
one. of the guests proposed as a toast
"The Fallen Flag." It says:
"Colonel Lee promptly placed his
: hand upon his glass and arose. 'Gen
1 tlemen,' said he, 'this will not do.
! We are paroled prisoners. We have
j now but one flag, and that is the flag
j of our whole country-the glorious
' old stars and stripes. I can recog
? nize no other, fight for no other, and
will drink to no other.' "
'j ^ Tim Camden (S. C.) Journal, of
j Saturday, says: "The steamer Volun
I teer, Capt. Gar>-ir,on, arrived at our
! lauding, on Wednesday last, from
j Charleston. We learn it is the inten
j tion of Mr. Browne, the owner of the
steamers Vance and Volunteer, to
establish a regular line of steamers
between Camden and Charleston. We
understand that this was an experi?
ment trip, and it has been ascertain?
ed that, with the removal of some
obstructions, there will be no diffi?
culty in navigating the river."

Annual Income over $3,250,000 '.
1,300 policies issued, and receipts
over $300,000 last month.
Over 13,000 policies issued the past
year-the largest number ever issued
in a single year by any Life Insur?
ance Company in tho United States.
In the year ending November 1,
18G5, its losses vere fewer than those
of any other Company, in proportion
to the number of policies. (See
Eleventh Annual Report of Massa?
chusetts Insurance Commissioners,
pago 57.)
In proportion to income, its per
centage of expenditure was LOWER
than that of any other Company.
(See New York Insurance Report,
1SGG.)
Its success in doing the LARGEST
BUSINESS with tho FEWEST
LOSSES and LEAST EXPENDI?
TURE, enables it to pay its policy?
holders an ANNUAL DIVIDEND of
FIFTY PER CENT., with as good a
prospect of increasing it as any other
Company.
The unparalleled success of the
iEtna can only be accounted for by
its admirable plan of transacting its
business to suit tho wants of tho peo?
ple, giving them policies at actual
cost, embracing NEW and IMPOR?
TANT FEATURES, which secure to
them all the advantages that can be
derived from a policy of Life Insur?
ance.
All who wish to avail themselves of
the benefits of Life Insurance, should
examine the ^Etna's plans for the
same by calling upon any of its agents
at their place of business.
