COLUMBIA, S. C. TuescUy forains, May 4. lb69. ... :^?^..^__. -4 "TUe Seonutlrvl? ?nd KnuvM." It is refreshing to see bow tbie radical journals uro waking up to the fuct that "tho people are heartily sick and disgusted with the profligacy" of the r?dicu! party, snd that they are determined that "the scoun? drels and knaves, who systematically swin? dled the Government bo hunted down, branded and punished un thieves and rob? bers Bhould be." That "thieves and rob? bers" are as plenty as blackberries in the "party of great moral ideas" is something which nobody can deny. Take the said ?nieves and robbers out, and there would bo, as things go, amazingly little left, the National Intelligencer gravely asserts. That the radical party is a "whited sepulchre," full of dead' men's b oes und of all un? cleanness,, is something ,hich Ima for years past been too glaringly obvious to bo con? cealed, and nobody pretended to deny it who .liad not tho faculty of "conspicuous inex? actness" to nn alarming degree. The only extraordinary thing about it is, that that pure party's own journals should perceive tho putrescent condition to which things have come,/ and that they Bhould- almost faint froux the miasma arising from tho rot tennosg of character which afflicts the party. Tho New Yofk Co?htii?i'cial Advertiser, n radical journal, iu a spasm of vi rt ie, and with a tearful sfcn?e .of ita party's short? coming, und with a manifest presentiment of the doom thal awaits St, a1 few days si nco spoke as follows: **NewtJ ape thing is very certain, tho Re? publican party must put un eud td this kind of extravagance or make up its mind to be overthrown at the polls. The people are heart? ily sick and disgusted with the profligacy and extravagance on every hand, and if the party in power cannot effect a change, they will call upon some other political organiza? tion to undertake the task. Sweeping re? forms have got to be inaugurated, and that right speedily, in o very department of the Government, if the Republican party hopes to maintain its ascendancy. Neither will tho dismissal of department clerks, the .abolishing of nn office hero and there, the reduction of salaries, and the increasing of the honrs of lubor, appease tho demands of ?the people. Economy and retrenchment must be emblazoned on the Republican banners, and every ouo in Government em? ploy mude tu feel and understand that they have, to earn their money, and wnron waste? ful expenditures. Tho people demand that every sinecure berth be abolished; that every political hanger-on, who has run his arm into the public treasury, be kicked out into the cold. They demand that the heavy perquisite.! which now make a few office? holders rich shall go into the national ex? chequer. They demand that honest men be placed in obargo bf the public revenues; that these revenues be collected to the lost dollar; that those who have hitherto ?hirked the income tax be made to toe the mark, and the scoundrels and knaves who systematically swindled the Government be hunted down, branded, and punished as thieves and robbers should be. They de? mand that the whiskey and other fraudulent rings be broken np at once, and the flood of corruption and extravagance, begotten by the war period, be stummed and rolled back. "Old issues have passed away. The cry of the people is now for retrenchment und reform. Will those iu authority heed this cry, and join with Girant in making their party thc party of retrenchment und re? form, or will they go on as they have in the past, shutting their eyes to the future, and treasuring up wrath against the day of wrath?" For our own part, we have no faith at all iu the radical party, or in the cant of rndicul journals, and we feel fully assured that tho only way by which honesty and ecouomy iu the administration of the Government can bo brought about is to withdraw the parly iu power, and transfer tho control of affairs to other nud worthier hands. THE NEW REGIME.-Tho con tribu tor ia] column of the Yorkville Enquirer, by Mr. Davidson, of this city, contains the follow? ing characteristic definition of thc new re? gime: "Wo ore of the new regime. It is tho regime of the onward and the upward. lt is the regimeQ{ utility, self-reliance and progresa, It is the regime of energy, action and work. It giviM the negro a fair chance-and no more. It seeks to utilize him to the utmost of his ability, for the good of the State. It fills his li?uda full of the best work that he is ablo to do. It elevates him just as high as he is capable of being elevated, and no higher; and this, for his own sake. It seeks lo educate bim to tho extent of both his moans and his bruins. It welcomes the immigrant, from what? ever shores he may come, be it from Ger? many, England or New England. It wel? comes all-all who bring menus, brain, or brawn; money mind, or muscle; nud with them au honest interest to better the homo they choose. It distinguishes, with the clearest cut of all possible distinctions, between tho immi? grant and tho carpet bugger. The difference between them is toto codo-the distance be? tween Heaven and hell. J - It br; wi il* tho carpet-bagger, wherever ho is found, os an intrader, an interloper-a plunderer aa cowardly as be is vile, that comes to dnpe the negro into raining the white man. It stigmatizes tho sofdawog as worse thau the carpet-bagger, in that to all bis brutal vii lin nj- ho adds treachery. This is the new regime. It lots the dead pani bary Ib? lUil; sud makes the best of the present, looking at tho same time to a glori?os fatare." -o-i-j-? ; Soraeltilng (hat Haptene?! Kt Charlotte Junction. .MB. Ewr??t: Fxidp/ before May day poured ont torrents of rain, upon the flooded streots of our city, and many woru the anxious heart? among the faithful teachers and children connected with the Baptist Sunday School, who, with untiring devo? tion, were anxiously preparing for their an? nual festival nud pic-nio. By the courtesy and goodness of our friend, Mr. C. J. Bollin, general agent, for South Carolina Railroad Cornpnny; lt was arranged that we should take a ride to Woodlawn or Hampton's, some seven miles below the city, thereto indulge unrestrained in good eatiug, ohoice refreshments, harm? less mirth, fruits und flowers. - As late, however, na Friday evening, at half-past 8, those who were timidly dis? posed insisted that oar enterprise, so care? fully planned, perfected and provided for. be postponed to ment the convenience- of wind and weather. Some one more bold, however, urged that tho first principles of the creed would go for naught if Baptists should back out from water. Bnt a com? promise was determined upon, which re? sulted in thc anticipated ride for a distance of eight or ten miles down the railroad, windiug up with a most sumptuous and bountiful repast of good things, under the spacious car-shod at thc aforesaid jonction, where fully 100 were assembled to rejoice iu a day that turned out to bo bright beyond description, and lovely beyond th most sanguine expectations of a happy pa? .y. At h alf-past 8 A. M., the procession marched to the railroad, under threatening clouds and with gloomy countenances. At 9, with many a hearty cheer, wo bid a short adieu to thc city, rejoicing then in the bursting sunshine. But it would bo useless to begin a list of the songs that were sung, tho many and varied refreshments indulged iu, the games, that were played, tho cakes that were spoiled at dinner hour, the ice? creams and lemonades that were served out, or to tell how happy tho party returned to their homes, at 5 F. M., glowiug with genuine pleasure, as May 1, 18G9, closed upon them, filled with brightest memories which will last for all time to come. May we never meet a more obliging officer than Mr. Bollin, or with baskets more bountifully provided. To be explicit, there was no room for im? provement in tho question. TEACH Eli. -o BLOODY AFFAIB IN INDIANA-The Louis? ville Courier-Journal says: "A frightful story of bloodshed comes from Cannelton, Indiana, a place about 100 miles distant from this city. We have ouly a meagre statement of what are said to be the facts, and our information is from persons who came up by boats from tho scene of the tragedy. It appears that, on Sunday last, a mercbant'named Dun?evy, who has been a man of high standing in the community in whioh ho lived, got into an altercation with another oitizen of Cannelton, and the words became so bot that both men finally drew their knives, and made a fierce assault, the ono upon the other. They fought despe? rately, and in a few minutes both had fallen, Dnnlevy'a heart being cut entirely open, and bis antagonist bleeding from fatal wonnds. While the bloody rencontre was in progress a crowd gathered around the combatants, and a number of the friends of each interfered. They did not improve mattera much, however, for they also drew weapons, and a terrible conflict ensued with pistols rind knives. Before the fight ended, three mon fell wounded very sovorely, neither of whom will be likely to recover. The man who fonght Dunlevy lingered until Monday morning, when he expired." QBNBRAII LEI: IN A NEW MOVEMENT.-Tho action of General L^e, os President of Washington College, Tirginia, in taking up tho movement for practical And technical education iu this country, is likely to make as great au impression upon our old fogy schools and colleges ns lie did in military tactics upon our old fogy commanders in thc palmy days of tho rebellion. Ho pro? poses to place Washington College in the front rank of tho march of modern ideas by adding practical instruction in agricrl tnre, mechanics, engineering and chemistry to its present list of studios. If ho suc? ceeds in doing so, the old-fashioned insti? tutions, whore tho arts of words and of chopping logic, w i til a smattering of thu dead languages, only aro taught, will soon bo left in tho lurch by the new system. Tho old schools must admit the new ideas of thu age or go tinder.-New York Herold. EXTRAOBDINARY NATUKAI.

From tho head to tho waist it is a healthy, line-looking child, but from that poiut downward tho body diverges.
