COLUMBIA. 8onday Morning, September ?, 1867. Change or Mon-Not Principles. The New Orleans journals, com nionting on the recent miUtary re? movals, express views in concurrence * with our own, that the exchange ol . officers is not a chango of system, and that tho only practical effect it to substitute the discretion of one officer for that of another. Tho Pre dent's order, assigning Gen. Han? cock tc tho command of the Fiftl Mititary District, directebim, "whet necessary to a faithful execution o! the law, to exercise any and all pow ers conferred by Acts of Congrosi ' upon Distriot Commanders, and anj and all authority pertaining to of fleers in command of military dopart ments." No other directions ari necessary. Gen. Hancock is no required to annul or to continue tin civil appointments of Gen. Sheridan but is sent to the command of th? Fifth Military Distriot just os Gen . Sheridan himself was, to deal witl the1 subject under tho circumstance and According to the rcsponsibilitic which are placed on him. The Ne\ Orleans Crescent expresses its doubt of the usefulness of reversing tho act of Sheridan, and says : "However desirable it might ha. been that there should be no legisln tion to authorize the overthrow c civil governments, it is not now dc sirablo, after this has been done, t undertake to set up again the disk cated machinery, by placing depose officials in their former positions. 1 would be at least a patch-work an spurious eivil restoration, and woiU tend to c. fuse and complicate tb situation, without any compensatin advantages. Military simplicity an efficiency of administration aro bette than a combination, of which th civil element would have only enoug liberty to make itself detrimental t the public service. Though our pet pie wpuld have preforred to see th civil offices remain undisturbed, it i doubtful whether thoy would no vote for putting back all the remove incumbents, or, indeed, for makin any change in thc actual sitnatioi between this time and the work i the coming convention, unless sue change should promise to effect material difference, in the event i reconstruction, from that which is no anticipated." The New Orleans Picayune speal to similar effect, so that it appear instead of the transfer of office having any of the political signii canco which has been absurdly a tached to it, the people have i expectation even of a reversal .Sheridan's civil appointments. Chief Jostle? Chu.sc. Wc le.irn from a Bichmond pap that a rnmor is current that Chi Justice Chase, since his recent vit to the South upon his official dutie has changed relativo to conferrii the right of suffrage upon the free men of the South, and that he nc thinks it improper, and that it threi ens the nation with disastrous cons quences. We do not credit such a repoi The political rights of the freedmi have been conferred upon them 1 law, and tho chief administrator that law could hardly be expected hold opinions adverso to it. Besid( his antecedents give no sanction tho truth of Bach a rumor, os ho v among the first of tho promiue men in the country who advoca! the right of suffrage to the colo) people. Another evidence tbnt this run is unfounded, is in the fact that, Wednesday last, at a reception Manchester, New Hampshire, he sa "New Hampshire and New El land are gre?t in the power t worth of their men and women, v go forth into every part of tho co try sowing broadcast the seeds \ virtue, industry intelligence i godliness. Thusthey lay the foun tion of the nation's greatness, most evory^horo you find the Yan school-mus* or H i id school-marm tee ing alike the white and the bk New England does a great work the republic. A nation can onlj great in the virtue, intelligence goodness of her children." There is force and truth in paragraph. If we desire to elo tho freedmen, they should bo i cated, they and their children, we recognize fully nil their poli rights. -? ? ? ? A man named Wm.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald say?: "The cause of the removal of Gen. Sickles is his in? subordination in disobeying the posi? tive commands of the President. The Order No. 10, resisting the execution of mandates of the United States Su? premo Court in North Carolina was rescinded by the President some weeks ago, and Gen. Grant instructed GeD. Sickles accordingly; but the latter, instead of promptly submit? ting, ordered his subordinates not to obey the instructions forwarded by the Attorney General at the command of the President, and wrote a very offensive letter to Gen. Graut, in which ho alluded in d^tospectful terms indirectly to the pJElent, and asked for a suspeusionT^Rhe order until such time as he (Siokles) could write a d?fonce of bis course. Thu President, however, refuses to wait, when a plain positivo command is recklessly disregarded, and retires Sickles with unusual promptness. The next victim will undoubtedly bo Gen. Pope, who in a short time will be removed to make room for Gen. Wager Sway ne." REGISTRATION*.-Wo aro indebted to Mail Agent Hack for the following return of registration nt Greenville Court House, on tho 28th, 29th and 30th: Whites G7; colored 21G; total 283. The Times announces the following as tho result of registration, so far, in Union District: Whites 521; co? lored 743. I A correspondent of tho New York Independent, traveling in tho South, finds some Northern missionaries who are not "sound ou the goose." He says: "Twice within the last few months I have seen ladies, missionary teachers from tho North, and whe had shown great interest in and de? votion to their work, quit tho supper table because a wortley Christian minister, with a rather dark skin, hod been invited to take a seat there. I havo seen, too, men who havt proved themselves noblo champious of thc rights of the colored race, when to be such was to risk theil own lives, turn away from the table at which two or three of the best class of colorod citizens were ex pected. DISABILITY AMONG FREEDM EN. The Yorkvillo Enquirer says that three freedmen, charged with perjnn in having taken the "rogistratiot oath"-they having previously beou convicted of felony-were brough! down from York, the other day, an< lodged in jail, to await the action o the military authorities. Register should bo careful to explain this oatt to the freedmen, as most of then take it in utter ignorance of what i is, and in blissful unconsciousness o tho penalties to which they subjec themselves if they swear falsely Under some circumstances, it would be hard if those penalties should b inflicted. SPARTANBURG AND UNION RAILROAD At tho annual meeting of tho stock holders of the above road, held a Spartanburg last week, tho followin? ollicers were elected for tho ensuinj year: President-Thomas B. Jetci Directors-S. Bobo, G. W. H. Logg J. W. Miller, J. E. Bomar, J. H Evins, T. N. Dawkins, B. Goudelock R. J. Gage, J. L. Young, A. W Thomson, W. J. Alston and W. H Gilliard. The Spartan states that an interest ing discussion arose during tho meet ing, on a proposition inado by Rev J. W. Vaudiver, proposing that h and two other gentlemen would bail? and finish a railroad from that plaa to Asheville, N. C., by tho year 1871 and receive in payment one-half c the whole stock of tho Spartanburi and Union Railroad, and should h and his associates fail to fulfil th contract, the stock should revert bac to its former owners. It was accepte by tho Convention so far as to expr?s their willingness individually to accei. the offer, this being all they had pow? to do. He is sanguine ho can carr out his proposal, if the consent of a tho stockholders can be obtained. ] the road from Spartanburg to Asln ville, N. C., some seventy miles, ca be built, tho connection betwee Charleston and Cincinnati, if we ai not mistaken, will be accomplished. COTTON TN THE SOUTH-WEST.-Tb New Orleans Crescent, of Mond .3 says: "Altogether, tho information coi corning tho cotton crop that we pul lish to-day, is moro favorable ^ei orally than that which wo have bec fore jd to lay boforo the readers ( the Cracau for several days past. TH? Meeting of the Emperors. The Boston Commercial has some admirable speculations upon the con? ference of Napoleon and Franois Jo? seph. As the world, by common consent, has agreed that a war be? tween France and Prussia is inevita? ble, though the inauguration of that conflict may be postponed for many months, a glance at the present situa? tion in Europe is worthy of attention. The Commercial says: "Tho meeting of the Emperors of Austria and France, at Salzburg, is, wo aro inclined to think, of far great? er import than a mero intorview of condolence over tho late tragedy in Mexico. For many months, Austria has shown a most eager desiro to con? ciliate France. Whether Herr Von Benst is contemplating another strug? gle with Prussia for ?upreinacy iu Germany, or whether he only foi'e secs European complications which mav lead to a general wa*, be itt either case is determined that Aus? tria, in anv future contest, shall have the friendship and alliance of tho great Western power of the con? tinent. Tho invitation extended by the Kaiser to his Imperial brother was of most marked importance; and it was tho moro significant, too, be? cause the Empress was included in it-a civility never before extended to Her Majesty by any sovereign ex? cept by tho Queen of Great Britain. Nor does the intelligence by the cable that their Majesties have declared that tho peaco of Europe is to be preserved for an indefinite period as a consequence of the understand? ing between them, 6cem to be of u kind likely to quiet the apprehen? sions of Europe. This gratuitous de? claration of the permanence of peace looks very much like a covering to a real danger of war. "And that there is such a danger can no longer be doubted. France and Prussia arc both rapidly arming; trade is at a staud-still, and the peaceful utterances of the Moniteur have had n very unquieting effect. However sincere the Emperor Napo? leon may be in his desires for peace -and wo beliovo he is siucere at thus time-tho French people aro very much* alarmed at the prospect of a consolidated Germany, which will destroy forever their long cherished desire of extending their dominion to tho Bhine, and which ..ill deprive them of the position they have so long held as the first of continental powers. The Emperor's power is based on success. Without this, he cannot expect to receive the conti? nued support of the middle and lower classes in France; and without suoh support, his power is very un? stable indeed. If France insists on war, to war he must go, and the in? tense hatred of Prussia, now prevail? ing in France, looks very much as if she would so insist. In Germany, on the other band, there is a general feeling of indignation at the idea that u foreign nation presumes to interfere in any way with the 'recon? struction' of that country, and the hardly concealed threats of the French people are particularly gall? ing. "If that war comes, wo believe Austria will not long bo a quiet spec? tator of it. To join a foreign power against Germany would undoubtedly bo very unpopular iu tho German provinces of the Empire, and espe? cially nt Vienna. But if Francis Jo? seph hos roolly made up his mind to conciliate tho Sclavonic nationalities, and shall be as successful with them as he has been in Hungary, tho mur? muring of his German subjects is a matter of small consequence to him. Tho well known disloyalty of Prus? sian Poland will bo a sufficient offset to it. Besides, au alliance between France and Anstria might lead, in an emergency, to an attempt which would paralyze Russia, weaken Prus? sia, and carry with it tho warm sym? pathy of England, and that is, tho restoration of Poland. This policy is ono that, during eighty years, the French cabinet have never lost sight Df, and for which thoy may hope, not merely for the neutral good will of England, but, with a householders' Parliament, for her active assistance, also. The hope may not bo despe? rate. For of all tho changes expeoted froni tho recent reform bill, none is so certain as that the European fo? reign policy of Great Britain will hereafter bo far more aggressive, and far less under tho influence of tho present foreign royal family, than it lias been during the shop-koepors' domination, established by the reform bill of 1832. But whatever may be the consequences of an alliance be? tween France and Austria in any fu? ture European strugglo, wo cannot uelp thinking that tho meeting at Salzburg points most plainly and une? quivocally to that alliance, and that blerr Bismarck fully expects it." Tho New York Evening Post, of tho 17th, says: A balo of now hops was received in this city yesterday, forwarded from Petersburg, Va. Hjis is tho first consignment of the kind ever made from a Southern State, and is tho result of a lato experiment. A half acre was planted with hops, and 450 pounds of the popular material packed. It may bo added, that tho quantity obtained is fair and tho quality excellent. Lager beer is doubtless destined thus :o extend the range of its operations. Gen. E. Ra MT. Cunby. Thia officer, who has been assigned, by order of the President, to the command of this District, was born in Kentucky, and appointed to West Point from Indiana. He graduated in 1889, and served with credit in the Mexican war. . In 18(50, he was a Major of the 7th Infantry, and while on duty in New Mexico, he conduct? ed a campaign against the Narvahoes, with great success. At the beginning of tho war, Gen? eral Cunby found himself Colonel of tho 19th Infantry, and in command of the Department of New Mexico. He commnuded tho Union forces at tho battle of Valverde, in which the Confederate forces, under Sibley and Green, gained a decided success. Finally, the Confederate forces, under Sibley, returned to Texas, General Canby claiming, in his officiai report, that the lutter (Sibley) had been "compelled to abandon a country he had entered to conquer nud occupy, leaving behind him, in dead and wounded, und in sick and prisoners, one-half of his origiual force." Soon after this, General Cunby was ordered to Washington, and was. for a time, Assistant Secretary of War. In April, 1804, after the battle of Pleasant Grove, and the consequent retreat, which marked the failure of tho Ked River expedition, General Banks was ordered to bring his cam? paign to an end without delay. Alex? andria was evacuated, and on May 20, 18G4, General Canby having ap? peared as commander of the Trans Mississippi Department, the anny was turned over to him by General Banks. During the summer and fall of 18G4, General Canby remained in New Orleans, but upon the overthrow of General Hood, nt Nashville, he proceeded to attempt the reduction of Mobile, then held by Gen. Maury. This movement resulted in the eva? cuation of Mobile, which took place in April, 18G5. On May 4, the sur? render to General Canby of General Dick Taylor's forces was effected at Citronelle, and this, to the best of our knowledge, closed General Can by's active career in the late war. Of General Canby wo know nothing Eersonally, but ho is spoken of in igh terms by tho New Orleans cor? respondents of various journals. Ono of them, referring to General Sheri? dan, says: "With these facts staring him in tho face, and the knowledge that his immediate predecessor (Gen. Canby) was a high-toned gentleman aud gal? lant officer, who had won the respect and confidence of this people by attempting to honestly and faithfully discharge his duties as an officer of the Government and not the repre? sentative of a party, it is surprising that Sheridan did not attempt to remove some of tho odium that at? tached lo his name by following the commendable and praiseworthy ex? ample of Gen. Canby." Gen. Canby is said to be a fine executive officer, and a thorough military man. In his opinions, he is said to be a moderate Republican, who takes no prominent part in poli? tics, and cares but little to have any? thing to do with political affairs. [Charleston Mercury. BEAUFORT.-Wo regret to learn by private letters, that the condition of affairs, in Beaufort, is particularly gloomy. Beforo the war, the white population was about 1,200; it is now, native and stranger, only 500. The houses given to or bought by tho negroes are, very many of them, tumbling to pieces. They aro with? out fences, and with rank weeds and all sorts of offensive debris about them, have a most desolate appear? ance. Muny houses of the best de? scription, bought by Northern men, have no tenants but negroes, herding there from cellar to attic in penury and sickness. The coming winter is expected to be one of great suffering, if not actual starvation. [Charleston Mercury. THE BUREAU OP CONFED?RATE ARCHIVES CLOSED.-It is stated that the President has ordered the Bu? rean of Confederate Archives, of which Dr. Francis Lieber was chief, to be closed. This bureau was or? ganized by Secretary Stanton, and sontains all the captured records of tho civil and military administration 3f tho defunct Confederacy. It is presumed they can be kept without i learned professor in charge of them it a high salary. HOMICIDE.-On Wednesday last, a lifficulty occurred on the plantation jf Col. Robert Beaty, of this Dis? trict, between John Lowe and Prince Heywood, freedmen, in which the atter was stabbed, and instantly rilled. Lowe was arrested and com nitted to jail.- Unionville Times.

The authoress of this novel has given to the world several volumes, of a somewhat military character "On Guard," "Dennis Donne," etc. But, with reference to the present work, we arc compelled candidly to say that it does not come up to the others in literary ability.
