COLUMBIA. Thursday Morninfr, Deo. 12, 1867. Crime Kverywhcrt. Crime, in it? Tarions phases, is hot peculiar to any section*, and yet there is a portion of the Northern press which, amid all the changes wrought by the terrible events of the past seven years, remains morally and in? tellectually immovable in their life? long prejudices. These journals are immersed in the same blinding jea? lousies and antipathies with respect to tho South and Southerners, in 1867, as thoy w?re in 1856 and 1860. It ?ee?ks for them impossible either to appreciate the virtues w hich our peo? ple displayed in the trials of war and the severer trials of conquest, or to realize tho profound tragedy of their fall and the unspeakable perils and pathos of their hopoless situation. But crime is not confined to the haploss South, as the following para? graph, from tho Boston Pust, abun? dantly proves: "Crime is terribly prevalent in New England. Every few days our staid cities and quiet towns aro startled by some deed of blood, some revelation of beastliness or of rascality. Even our Southern brethren, living in the midst 'of anarchy and turmoil,' might, with reason, sneer at the mo? rality of New England-as shown in its daily reports of crime." This is Bpoken of a section of. the country which claims to bo tho centre of civilization. Tho fact that crimes, many of them dark and terrible, are .committed in New England, does not warrant the assumption that crime is peculiar to that section ; but tho fact ought to suggest to the philanthro? pists and humanitarians hailing from that region, the importance of giving more attention to home affairs, and ?ess to those of a people distant from them and who have endeavored to mind their own business-asking only to be let alone. John'.Quincy Adams gave a vet j striking instance of the insincerity of thr far-off philanthro? pists; being caV^M on by a Now Eng? land clergyman for a donation in be? half of foreign missions, he declined to give anythiug, at the same time affirming that there were two promi? nent clergymen in his owu town who ?were mortui enemies to each other. "I would give," said thu ex-Presi? dent, "any amount that may be re? quired, to teach these gentlemen the true principles of christianity; that their lives might be a better illustra? tion of Christian doctrine. " And sc: it is now; a great deal of money could be wisely appropriated to this end iu New England at the present time. But there are some journals out? side of New England, that ought tc know better, which cannot emerg? from the cant and animosity whicl preceded and brought about the lat( war. The New York Evening Pos makes the unseemly shooting afiaii between tho two relativos of Hour j A. Wise and Pollard, an occasion o! repeating au old stereotj-po fling a "Southern chivalry." The Post re fer3 to the parties in this fracas, a? "two or three Virginia bullies, wh< havo been disgracing tho city o Baltimore by a street fight-ono o them, Pollard, tho truculent write of several volumes, which he call history, und tho two others, relative of Henry A. Wiso, aud apparent!; worthy scions of tho stock." Its righ to characterize as it sees lit, the act of these men as individuals, is un questioned; but it betrays a mos detostiblo vulgarity of malice toward a whole people, when it speaks o them as sprigs of chivalry, and point to them as "representativo example of a practice which, in civilized so ciety, is rapidly growing out of fa shion, aud holds on at thc South where remains of tho barbarism o slavery still linger." Thia is al wrong, and all such writing tend only to keep wide tho chasm botweei the people of the North and th South, which all true friends of th country, in both sections, desire t see bridged, if not completely fille np _t <|t (_ ARREST OP COL. REITH, OF Noni CAROLINA.-From the Charlotte B mooral, wo learn that Col. Keith, wb during tho war, executed thirtec persons in the Laurel Valley, : Western North Carolina, has beon a rested, by order of Gen. Oanby, ar conveyed to Charleston for tria Tho persons oiccutcdworo "raiders who claimed to bo Union.meu. Parochial School In ChariMlon. . We learn from our Charleston exchanges that the opening services Connected with the inauguration of this Bohool for white children, took placo on Monday morning. This school is under the auspices of the Episcopal Chureh. A very large congregation was present, including parents, guardians, teachers and children. The venerable und beloved Bishop of the Diocese, Rt. Rev. T. F. Davis, D. D., and a number of clergymen of tho city, were also in attendance. At 9 o'clock, the exercises wero opened with morning prayer by the Rector of the church, Rev. A. Tooin cr Porter, who, afc its conclusion, de? livered an able and elaborate address upon the subject of education. He explained the system to be pursued in the school, which, he enid, was to be "distinctly a pronounced chureh school in its teachings, practices, doctrines, religious services and ritual, in accordance with tho plain and unmistakable mind of thc epis? copal Church, as expressed in her articles, office?, canons, ordinances and ministry." He also addressed himself feelingly to tho teachers, exhorting them to instruct their pupils not only by their professions, but by their practice, walk and con? versation. He also eloquently en? treated the children to aim diligently at tho acquisition of tho knowledge thus placed in their reach. Bishop Davis, at the conclusion of the Rector's address, arose and said: "My beloved brethren, my reve? rend, brother, your Rector, has re? quested mo to say a few words to you, giving my official sanction to this Christinn enterprise, which we have assembled to celebrate. This I do with much pleasure, not only as an official duty, but from a sincere and earnest interest in this under? taking, and with my prayers for God's blessing upon both teachers and pupils. Certainly religion is tho true foundation of all education, both intellectual and moral. At the present crisis especially, wo must draw upon it for the resuscitation of our life, both intellectual and social. From tho church's heart must flow Streams which shall restore fertility to our desolated couutry. "At other times, one might depend upon other influences for the educa? tion of society, but now we must draw upon the church's charity and beneficence to fulfill this office. "Let mo say a word, however, by way of caution and admonition. My office represents directly uot educa? tion, but salvation. Wo must not substitute the active charities of life for the foundations of divine faith. Tho spirit of enterprise and Chris? tian zeal must uot assume tho pro? vince of divino tuition. Not by works of righteousness which we can do, but by God's mercy, aro we saved. Nevertheless, we are created iu Christ Jesus unto good works, which God had before ordained that wo should walk in them. From the high principles of faith must spring the spirit of our active life. Educa? tion must derive its (sanction from religion, and receive its influences from the grace of God iu Jesus Christ. In this spirit, I give my sanction to this school, and bid it God-speed, in the name of tho Church and of her Great Head, our Redeemer and (Sa? viour." The Bishop, addressing the chil? dren, said: "MY BELOVED CIUI?DKKN: Let mo no iv speak to yon. You will come to school to learn, but you must como also to servo God. You must try to do what is good and right in His sight. You must obey your minis? ter and your teachers, and learn from them how you are to live and to bo prepared for Heaven." FltOM MISSOURI.-Considerable ex? citement prevails in Alton over a horrible murder perpetrated there yesterday. Two men, named Samuel Cabell and William Skinner, together with a man named Patrick Donohoe, were sitting at a table engaged in a game of cards, when an altercation arose, and tho lio passed between the parties, Cabell and Skinner, ns wo understand it, being against Donohoe. Words led to blows, at which point a by-stauder stepped between tho con? testants, but Cabell reached round him with a knife in his hand, and stabbed "Donohoe to the heart, being iucited thereto by Skinner. Dono? hoe lived but about ten minutes after receiving tho injury. Great excitement was manifested last ovening by the Irish citizens on learning of tho murder. Crowds of ! them remained in the vicinity of the jail until a lato hour, and threats were made of summarily avenging the death of Donohoe. The brick steam flouring mill be? longing to Eugene Umfrid, in tho town of Douglas, St. Clair County, was totally destroyed by fire yester? day. Loss, $60,000, insured. THE CHAKI?OTTE NEWS.-Tho Char? lotte News, which ceased publication a short time since, has been pur? chased by Messrs. S. D. Hutson and H. Metze, practical printers of Char? leston, and its publication as a daily and weekly journal will be resumed in a few weoks. V. .> .S . .. . .... . <.'. I't ALABAMA.-A despatch from Mont? gomery, dated the 4th inst., Bays: "Alarming excesses have been re? cently committed by the blacks in Bullock County, in the neighborhood of Porote. The colored Loyal Leaguers organized and resisted all processes by civil authority, under instructions from colored emissaries. They formed a code of laws to govern tho negro population, opened a court well officered and organized, arrest? ing by night all blacks wno opposed their unlawful proceedings, nud car? ried their punishment so fer that their victims have applied to the civil authorities for protection. "The black sheriff and his deputy wore finally arrested; but other in? surrectionary lenders organized the negroes, and made armed resistance. Aid from other Leagues was sum? moned, and tho blacks flocked to Union Springs, threatening a general rising and extermination of the whites, and taking forcible possession of tho country. The black leaders went to plantations, and forced labor? ers to join them for vengeance, show? ing pretended orders from Gen. Swayne, and Btating that they had a right to kill all resisting their autho? rity. During the excitement thc negro church nt Perot? was burned by unknown parties; it is alleged by the black leaders to inflame thc negroes. Thc whites universally regret it. Tho white citizens have organized for protection, and Gen. Swayne was appealed to, and sent c detachment of troops to tho scene ol trouble to restore order. Fifteen black insurrectionists have beeu ar rested and lodged in jail, to bo triet by tho civil authorities. At last ac counts order was restored and all was quiet." GENERAL JAIL DELIVERY.-AtJ,half past 7 o'clock yesterday morning thirty prisoners who had been cou fined iu tho jail, were turued inti the yard for thu purpose of empty in j their slops. While there, some of tin prisoners managed to steal an ax< from the wood-house, and rushing a the gate, succeeded in forcing tin lock and making their escape, befor Mr. Haseltine, tho jailor, who wa present, could interfere. As soon a practicable, he closed thc gate, am secured the yard, but not until om white mun and thirty colored pri soners had made their escape.

A place of worship with tho above appropriate title is about being erect? ed by the colored m om hers of tho Presbyterian Church, on tho sito of thc old Presbyterian Lecture Boom, in Sumter street, near Laurel; and in order to have ampio room, tho adja? cent lot on the North has been pur? chased. Ground was broken for tho new edifico yesterday, and tho work will be rapidly pushed forward to completion. It is to be a well ventilatcd and room}- building, with auditorium suflicicutly large io com fortably seat 400 persons; there are also three or four ante-rooms, which aro to be used for tbe infant schools, Bible classes, etc. A. Y. Lee, Esq., is the architect. The Bev. James Ladson, to commemorate whoso memory this building is tobe erected, was the pastor of a colored congrega? tion for many years, and by his kind? ness, patience uud true Ghristiauly deportment, endeared himself to one and all. COLUMBIA AND AUGUSTA KAILUOAD. Through tho nourtesy of President Johnson, an excursion train was run to tho terminus of this road, yesterday afternoon, and ample time allowed the passengers to thoroughly examine tho whole bridge, as well as tho gen? eral 7)W(fus operandi of railroad build? ing. The track-layers have reached a point a little more than four miles on tho Lexington side of tho river, and it is thought that within the next two mouths, thc suort of the irorj horso will announce to thc quiet in? habitants of the village of Lexington that a bona fide railroad train is ac tually making its way through tba District. Tho bridge over the Cou garee is deserving of more than i passing notice, as it is truly a skillfu piece of workmanship. It is ai "Undergrade Fink suspension truss,' total length of 1,040 feet, in tei spans, single track road-way; deptl of truss 21 feet; all compressioi strains in cast iron; all tensile strain in wrought iron; pier towers in tripoi form of wrought iron, capacity 2,00 pounds per lineal foot of road-way and equal to passing ovor with safet; a train composed of fifty locomotiv engines, averaging twenty tons each Cost of structure about $90,000. Tho excursionists returned to Cc lumbia about G o'clock; but from th bright light imparted by a full moor we could very readily have imagine that the usually short day of thi season of the year, had been cor sidorably lengthened, and that th day god had not yet retired. A pamphlet has recently appearet entitled "Speculum, by Optician, from tho pen of an esteemed clergy mau of tho Protestant Episcopi Church, in the Dioccso of Sout Carolina, who was a resident of C< lumbia and its vicinity during tl war, and is, doubtless, known 1 souio of our citizens. It is in rep] to a reniarkablo publication, entitle "Tho Negro," by Ariel, many thoi sand copies of which aro said to ha> been scattered throughout tho coui tr}', and to have produced a dec sensation. This latter publicatic contains several startling propos tious in relation to tho ethnologic condition of tho black race, A c., ar tho interest and feeling it has excite has been owing not morely to tl extraordinary character of the pos tions assumed by ita author, but I tho arguments ho sets forth, and tl ingenuity he displays in his efforts I maintain them. The answer of "O] tician," however, will bo found I embrace a satisfactory exposition < the fallacy of Ariel's reasonings, tl weakness of his logic, the proposte ouaness, if not monstrousness, of h allegations, and, indeed, thecomplo overthrow of the work it is designe to refute. The style of "Optioiar is clear and foroible, and his reply conducted with a fairness and abilil which commends tho "Speculum" I a favorable reception, and will ful repay the timo occupied in its p rusal. The pamphlet is for sale McCartcr's bookstore. Price twont; five cents per oopy. THE PANORAMA OP COLUMBIA.-This local painting will be unrolled again before a Columbia audience to-mor? row (Friday) evening, in Calisthenic Hall. During their recent trip through the upper Distriots, Messrs. Lee & Richnrd received nanny favorable commendations from press and peo? ple, for the thc truthfulness of their work. Tho Abbeville Banner says: "The panorama of tho city of Co? lumbia was exhibited in this place on last Saturday evening, to a very large audience. This suporb paint? ing is greatly admired wherever ex? hibited, for its raro artistic beauty, and tho many interesting events rep? resented in the history of our capi? tal. Owing to the disagreeable weather the Dtmomms ?'aa ?mt placed on exhibition on Friday night, but, ou Saturday night, there was a very large crowd present, and all wero highly pleased." Prof. Denck, whose services have been secured, will, during the even? ing, perform two solos. As this will, probably, be the Inst exhibition for a length of time in this city, those who have not yet seen thc panorama should attend. COURT OF ERRORS.-December ll. The cnso of the Southern Express Company was recalled, and Mr. Carr concluded tho reading of his argu? ment in behalf of tho Company. Hon. W. D. Porter was heard contra, representing tho City Council of Charleston, and was followed on the same side by Attorney-General Hayne, in behalf of tho State, Mr. Curr closed in reply.
