LXJMBIA? - Oar Colored Popalntl Wo do not believe that, iu the his? tory of the world, snob, a radical change in society, as that of the emancipation ol the slaves of the Booth, ever took place with so little disturbance or social disorder. Twen? ty-five years ago, had it been an* nouncod that general emancipation would occur without revolt or blood? shed, the man uttering suoh a pre? diction would have been set down aa a dreaming visionary. The Baltimore Sun says that "nothing could h uve been better than tho conduct of the Southern slaves daring the late war, and, considering the abrupt change brought about in their social posi? tion, their new-found liberty was used with singular decorum and modera? tion." As regards this State, wo can cheer? fully endorse the commendatory re? marks of the Sun. It is true, proba? bly, that our colored people bavebeen lesa tampered with by political mis? sionaries than those of other States on the great traveling thoroughfares of the country; and it is further to be noted that our prominent citizens, commencing with Qeu. Hampton, have manifested an interest in the wcll-boing, advancement and im? provement of thc freedmen, which has naturally begotten in them a feel? ing of respect and confidonco iu their former owners, which has produced the favorable condition of allah's now existing .a this State. We sincerely hopo that this state of things will continue, and that tho whites will show, by their efforts to aid tho freed? men, in tho great interests of reli? gion and education, that they are the truo friends of thc rnco which have been born and roared among them. Tho great danger to our colored populatiou is, that they may be mis? led by desiguiug politicians. They ought to tako it for granted that their friends aud neighbors nt home have a dooper interest iu their wolfare thau any strangers-no matter to what political party they belong can possibly have. Tho labor of the freedman is ns necessary to the de? velopment of the resources of the South, as is tho capital cr brain work of tho other race. Hand in hand, they must labor together for tho recuperation of our desolated sec lion, and the prosperity of the owners of tho soil must also bring prosperity to those they employ. If thc freedmen of the South de? serve credit for their conduct, no less do thc whites. As far as we have observed, tho latter haye been liberal in contributing to every enterprise for the elevation und amelioration of tho colored people. Churches and school-houses havo sprung up with wonderful rapidity. "Even when la? boring under tho immense loss en? tailed upon them by emancipation, and by tho destruction of their pro? perty incidental to war, every Chris? tian denomination in thc South has doue its shore in giving aid to the colored people in founding their own church organizations. Aud to this policy must be attributed the reign of social order, which, for over two years, has prevailed in this State. If this favorable condition of tho relations now oxisting between tho two races should continue, it will uot bo many years beforo its good results will bo visible in the universal pros? perity of tho South, lt will require patience, forbearance and endurance, but, in tho end, the good will como. Our advico to both races is to abjuro party politics, and to work harmo? niously together for the weal of tho South. No party, wo believe, ever boncfitted tho mero partisan, and whilo a few of tho leaders may bavo obtained offico and spoils, ninety nine out of a hundred of their fol? lowers havo suffered loss, both in time and money. -??# ? ?-_ RAILROADS.-Tho United States has moro miles of railroad in operation than any other country in the world, 36,890 hoing its running order. Next comes Great Britain and Ireland, with 13,286 milos; Franco, with 8,982 milos; Prussia, with 5,795 miles; Aus? tria, with 3,831 miles; British India, with 3,379 miles; Italy, with 3,213 miles; Spain, with 3,116 miles; Rus? sia, with 2,775 miles; and Canada, 2,118 miles. There are in Europe 50,117 miles; in, America, 40,860 miles; Asia, 3,660 miles; Africa, 375 miles, and Australasia, COS miles. BusauN AMipwuu-Secretary Se? ward has just made publio a letter 'from Allen Frances, United ?tates Consul, and a number of citizens of the United States at Victoria, Van? couver Island, congratulating the country upon tho Bussinn American purchase. The writers say that, from actual contiguity to the acquired ter? ritory, they are able to Btate that the purobnso is of the greatest impor? tance, and add: The climate of the territory West of the Gasende range of mountains, and up to sixty degrees North lati? tude, and of tho numerous islands bordering its shores, is much milder, both summer and winter, and much more pleasant than that of any por? tion of the New Englnud States or the Canadas. Its immenso forests of pine are of incalculable value, tho timber being much superior to that of Oregon or Washington Territory, while tho numerous harbors along its coasts will afford tho greatest facilities for its shipment. Tbero aro known to exist within tho limits of tho pur? chased territory many valuable mine? rals, among which are gold, silver, copper, lead, iron, aud extensive beds of coal, which will furnish an ample field for labor and the investment of capital. Many beautiful und rich .specimens of .J] the minerals enume? rated aro now in this city, which have beeu brought from that Territory. Tho agricultural capabilities of tho country are, no doubt, inferior to that of tho States and Territories lying South of it; still there aro large bodies of land known to exist, so ful? as the country bus been explored, capable of producing many of thc vegetables commou to temperate climes of great excellence, and iu the greatest abundance, ns well as most of tho cereals. Commercially, the new territory must bo of great value, on account of its comparative proximity to many of the teeming populations of Asia, and its possession ot most of the na? tural productions iu demand by them must ultimately create an extensive commerce. Of the postmasters in South Caro? lina, says n Northeru exchange, lately commissioned, forty ure Indios, and of these forty, thirty-two uro single. This is another indication of the "good timo coming" of woman's equality. That there are many avo? cations in which women might serve with equal advantage t-> tho public with the men, wo have never doubted, lint a long-established belief in the inordinate curiosity of the sex, und an immemorial . scepticism of tho ability of a woman to keep a secret, have combined to make it problemati? cal whether the post office is, in all respects, proper field for their exer? tions. Horrid mon will not bo per? fectly coufident that tho fair post? masters (they ure not known ns post? mistresses at the Post Office Depart? ment) will ?:?>t ii : i ?1 out what is in tho letters, and afterwards retail it us village gossip; and then, thc old joke about deranging the J.J tit's is familiar to everybody. We eau imagine no severer trial of official virtue than a youug girl, serving as pod muster, being called upon to sort und hand over to her lover and her rival tho letters of a tender correspondence; ?nd if thu fair South Carolinians can stand this test, they may safely bo entrusted with tho right of suffrage, and with thc duty of legislation into the bargain. PAY THU PUBMC DICHT.-Thc pro? position to pay the nat ional debt im? mediately-all in greenbacks-seems to bc meeting with general and uni? versal favor. Tho following, from tho Washington (Ohio) Register, is a fair specimen of tho voice of tho country press. It says: Wo aro ia favor of paying off the public debt in greenbacks. If they aro good enough for the farmers, mechanics and busiuess mon of thc nation, why arc they not good enough for tho rich men of tho country? If thc public debt was paid oil'in green? backs, tb#entirewealth of thecouutry would be brought upon the tax dupli? cate, aud every man would be required to pay taxes according to his wealth. There would bo no rich men exempt from taxation, while drawing interest iu gold on Government bauds, while the masses of the people wore doing business with a rag currency. Tho nation would save millions every year in interest, and millie*.'.s moro in pre? miums upon gold wherewith to pay interest to bond-hold ors. The taxes of tho people would bo lessened, and all tho greenbacks destroyed by acci? dent or other causo would inure to tho benefit of the Cfo vern ment. Pay tho public debt immediately-pay it in greenbacks, and let all thc citizens have tho same kind of money uud all pay taxes aliko. -- ? ? ? > - Tho testimony iu tho defence of young Hnrratt reads very much as though Stanton, Holt, and what is called "tho Government" wero ou trial for conspiracy and murder themselves, and the chances are that they will be fourni guilty. / 1 The progress that baa been made in Control Park, say? the New York.} Herald, omeo its no tu m euee ment soma yeors ago up to the present time, is something ttarvollous. Here woe o rooky wilderness, part marsh, p*r> waste, with rocky boulders jutting up from amidst the dwarf herbage. Not teu yours back, many a New Yorker would go ont to where the Park now ia for a country ride, and when Thirtieth street was passod they had left tho "din of city and busy haunts of men" far behind them. The hands of man have been as busy as tho effects of nature, and the old prover!) has been exemplified that man made the city if God made the country. Tho wilderness adjacent to Bloomingdale has been transform? ed into a Peri'sparadiso-a garden of gardens for the present and future generations of Now Yorkers. The old wilderness exists no longer. BKAZIL.-Tho cable report which wo had some two months ago of the abolition of slavery in tho Empire of Brazil, was subsequently found to bo in advance of the event. But tho emancipation movement has gone so for that the Emperor Don Pedro II, in his recent speech at tho opening of the Brazilian Chambers, gave ut? terance to the following sentence: "The servile element of tho Emitir? cannot fail to merit opportunely your consideration, acting iu a manner to caro for thc high interests attached to emancipation, by respecting actual property, and without giving a pro? found shock to our maiu sourco of industry-agriculture." The differ? ent tenure on which negro slavery exists iu Brazil from that on which it j formerly existed iu the United States, moy be judged by the fact that tho 1 head of thc State eau utter himself ! in this way. Imagine one of our l Presidents speaking in this woy prior to lt???. It may he considered cor tain that Brazilian emancipation will be effected peaceably and without difficulty.-JVe>o York Times. The Kock Island Argus, alluding to tho advertisement for the return of a silver communion set, says: "New England is not the only place where stolen articles from the South may be found. A search in Kock Island County would disclose thu fact that some very liuo profes? sors of religion are using articles in their houses which they ought to be ashamed to keep from their proper owners. There is a very large and valuable silver waiter in a certain house iu this city, the true history of which we should bo glad to know. Tliero are other articles of silverware in the city and County, which are reported to have been stolen front the people of the South. There aro also horses, harness, carriages and 1 other article.-, in this city and C ninty which were stolen from the people of , the South." WoitTH Kxowixa. - One pound of] green copperas, dissolved in a quart of water and poured down a sin lc <>r drain, will effectually destroy the foulest smells. For water closets tm board ships ard steamboats, about hotels and other public places, tlurro is nothing .so nico to cleanse :is siinrle groen copperas. Dissolved under fie I ? - ? I in anything that will hold water, it, will ren?.er a hospital or other place for sick fros from unpleasant smells. For butchers' stalls, tish markets, \ slaughter houses, sinks, and wherever | there aro offensive putrid gases, dis? solve copperas ami sprinkle it about, and, in a few days, the smell will pass away. If a cat, rat or mouse dies about the house, and sends forth an offensive gas, place some dissolved copperas in an open vessel near thc place where the nuisance is, and it will soon purify the atmosphere. The following is a letter from Ha? milton College Observatory, Clinton, N. Y., dated ou the 9th: "Yesterday morning carly, July 7, astronomical date, a new member ol' the group of asteroids was discovered here, in twenty-one hours and twen? ty-one minutes right ascension, and twenty-one degrees and thirty-one minutos of Southern declination. This morning, it was found to have moved in twenty-four hours about twenty-five seconds to the West and six minutes to tho South. Being of tho eleventh magnitude, and . till about ono month*, before opposition with the sun, the planet promises to be a very bright one." TENNESSEE.-Owing to the riotous and threatening conduct of some of Brownlow's militia in Nashville, tho Mayor of that city has found it ne? cessary to issue a proclamation, call? ing upon the peoplo to maintain order and. quiet, and assuring them that tho counnauder of tho Federal forces there will promptly act for their protection, whenever tho exi? gencies shall require it. Ho also convenes a meeting of the citizens, "to counsel together, freely and fra? ternally, in regard to the evils which now surround thom, and the means of avoiding all mischief likely to arise in future." F i Li I u CJ8TBKIKO. -T h o Washi u g to n correspondent of the New York Herald sends to that journal the full details of a plot to over-run Mexico, which ho has recently discovered. Ho states that the movement was gotten up nt tho White House, and, of course, thc j President and Secretary Seward arc ! tho chiof manipulators. Tho Herald is nothing, if not sensational. .... I I , I ? ? ? . ? -!-" , The Philadelphia Ledger tells ot a | woman in that oity who nightly has a personal encounter with r. piano, which she tortures in tho most cruel J manner. She begins playing heir' piano and singing operatic airs every evening, at about 10 o'clock, and continues until about 1 the next morning. Aa all the windows are kept open at this bot season, the neighbors toss on their beds and per? spire, and threaten uuutternble thing?. The arrival of emigrants for tho first six months of tho year at Now York, is shown by tho returns of tho Board of Emigration to bo: By sail? ing vessels, 28,808; by steamships, 108,518; in all, 136.826. Thc num? ber of births at sea were 118, and of deuths 352. Of the latter 258 oc? curred on sailing vessels, being ono and one-tenth per ceut. Tho deaths, 91 in all, on board steamships, ave? raged less than ono-tcnth of one per ceut. There is a French machine in the Expositiou that takes in chopped tobacco and turns out cigarettes at tho rate of sixty a miuuto thc year round, ringing a signal bell as oftou as there is not enough to put in a package. The machines, about half a yard square, make a saving of 70, 000,000 francs a year. Place a busin of cohl water by the side of your bod;'when you first awake iu tho morning, dip your hands in and wot your brow, and sleep will not nguiu seal you iu its treacherous embrace. This is thc advice given by un aged mau, who bad been in the habit of rising early during a long life. TAXATION OB REIUDIATION.-lu the Mouse, ou Monday, Mr. Holman offered II resolution declaring that United States bonds ought to be taxed by authority of Congress, for national purposes, so as substantially to equalize such taxation to tho ave? rage taxation imposed on other pro? perty. TUE Oku EST INHABITANT.-A writer for tho Sun says that Mr. John Kitts, of Baltimore, is in his 105th year, having boen born iu 1702. Ile was too old to be drafted in thc WU? of 1812. He is now quick iu his movements, uses no spectacles, and says he enjoys n glass of obi rXo as much as ever. Thc Augusta Loyal Georgian says that there is a "Union Republican Club" in that city, which numbers 400 white and 1,000 colored voters, and that it intends to rule tho city. Foster lilodget, military mayor of tho city, is president of the club. It appears to bo a secret league. DEATH OF AX OLD PRINTER.-Mr. M.
