COLUMBIA, S. C. Wedaeeday Morning, May 6. 1869.,^ Person*!. .A notice appeared in the Phoaix, several TonV'i ago, with reference to the appoiut -rnt of ofBoers under an Aot passed by the legislative body laiely in session, iu whioh ?-typographical error occurred-the words *Sg&*anlealisfaolton" not being italicized; to .??voy the idea that the expression was ?oBsd ironically. Tbs omission was detected ?iborny'ftftot the publication of the paper; hmi it' was deemed unimportant, as it was tfcought the people of tho State were cogni j?nt, from past experience, of the position at occupied. It appears, however, that ?ach was not tho case, and several partios <batte' evinced a'disposition not only to carp ?ft tho article, bot to reflect unfavorably -apon tho paper. Without going further ??to detail, we simply assert that neither the coarse ot the paper uor the opinions of the edUorj with r?f?rence to the present un? fortunate state of things have undergone; any chaage, and that be will earnestly en? deavor in the future, ns in tho past, to act aright, ana merit tho just approval of his follow-citizens. JULIAN A. SELBY, Editor and proprietor Phoenix- and Gleaner. -_-o^-? THE' CoarsiEStciAii OUTLOOK. -The New Fork IFoj-W^lttdH-the Financial Chronicle fol? lowing in ita wake tn calling attention to the .deplorable^d?H?eas iii bli si ness elides. Tho (Sironi?J?'admits,' Rays' the World editor, ""that the results of 'the spring trade have been thus far unsatisfactory," ? which, the World'fhi?kB, is a mild ;way of-putting it. Iteaystho West'bas: suffered hy the decline ie grain,-tbe'??stern merchants have made smaller phrdbits?s than i tysun), 'tbe.manufac? turing localities Lavo uladb but little monej-, ?and consequently the dependent industries have soffdred: Add tbthese embarrass? ments the abnormal -condition of -the cur? rency 6ystcm, aiid the1 f&M] that the import era havo-not adapted their purchases to the situation, imt.'on the! contrary, show an in ?arease pf thirty-one per cent, over the cor? responding period lost year, while on thc ?ether bend, the exports have not increased ???ll, hut have decreased $5,500,000, and tho . .case-is made up. It says: ^'This is, indeed, asad showing for our spring trado, and, worse yet, there is no QHrespeot that business will be better at pre? sent. With the most bountiful harvest that ?ver blessed the country, with no suffering Sar food anywhere, with plenty to eat, but arith very little to do, the country presents 4fee spectacle of a fearfully depressed trade and general distress in financial and com .oaeroial oircles. And will continue so to do as long as blundering incompetents control 4ftnx."fiscal affairs, as long as special legisla? tion to protect special interests kills all other interests, and as long as a depreciated paper -currency compela the people to pay double pri?es for all they eat and drink." ---o ?CUBA..-Referring to the situation in Cu fea, the Herald saya that the pressure upon the Cuban treasury bas led the Government to contemplate increasing the present tariff ?of import duties. That the war is now, in -?act, a war of resources. From Spain the -colonial authorities can hope for nothing bat naked men in the shape of war material. Everything else must be provided from the resources of the colony, and these the Go vernmcut is pressing to the utmost. On the part of the Cubans the question is merely . ?oe o? endurance. There ia greut ditfioulty, if not an impossibility, in driving them from the field, if they choose to hold it in small bands, adhering to the Fabian policy. The Spauish commander of the Eastern Depart? ment has issued orders of great severity. Every male Cuban found away from bis home without cause or excuse is to be shot; . and every uninhabited dwelling aud every inhabited dwelling not decorated with a -*iiito flag, is to be reduced to ashes. -o MURDER IN LANCASTER.-Wo understand from a rel i able source that a negro man, for? merly the property of Mr. Crow, of Union County, North Carolina, came to his death from violence ou or about the 24th instant, twelve miles from this place. It seems that he waa on tho road after night, having in ia his possession a cousideraldo amount of jioney, and it is supposed was assaulted and "Jain with an uxo or some other heavy wea? pon, aud then robbed of his money. Nu clue to tho murdong or murderers has been found so far as wo can learn. The mnr --Sarrod :aan was sober, industrious, and ono. <tii the best millwrights in our Couuty, and <by his skill as a workman had acoumuhit.ee] several hundred dollars in cash, which lu .was known to carry about his person. [Lancaster Ledger. The beauties of negro legislation were re cently shown in Raleigh, N. C. Tho propo sition was to increase tho debt of tho citj by borrowing $50,000. The propert> hold ers, who were whites, voted against it. Tin negroes, who pay no taxes, voted in favor iud carried it. An Episcopal clergyman of Indiana ha ?cen convicted of the offence of witnessini tho "Black Crook," and bis Bishop has rep rimanded him accordingly. :; Tb? veIocipe?B?1is ft ??aes^?sodmotion, it is asserted, is practically worthless. At a recent trial on the Union i ou THO. near JN?w York, a mile in six minutes was tho highest speed attained, and tb? rider conld not keep np that rate of speed even for a moderate length of time. As the trial waa made under unusually favorable circumstances, as to smoothness of track.it may be concluded that the velocipede on ordinary roads is an inoumbraoce rather than a help to the rider. NEWsiursK SUSPE??8ION.-The Southern Opinion, started originally at Richmond, Va?, by tba late fl. lt ives Pollard, baa sus? pended, publication. The recent editor sajs that for some time {mst he hod thought that the mission of tba Soulliern Opionion had been fulfilled, and adds that the distinct Southern principles upon which tho paper wa? founded ure dead in the hearts of the peo? ple is another fact which he cannot but re? cognize. --o TUE LATE RECRUITING ORDER.-Tho Washington Slur says a? undue significance seems to havo been given to the recent War Department order for resumption of the re? cruiting service, it may be oswell to "state that it was issued because discharges, soon to take place, will reduce the regiments be? low the minimum authorized by tho recent Act of Congress. . ' PARAGUAY.--Hy the Atlantic telegraph we learn that Lopez bad a large army under him, abd yras carrying on a'gu?rilla warfare in tho Geno Leon and Sogoo districts, Au allied gnu-boat expedition up the Parupa River had reported that there -wore no forti ficatious on its banks. Minister Paranhos was about marching on Yilla Rica with 3,000 men. r NORTHERN IMMIGRATION.-It is truly gra? tifying to noto the number of Northern, men -not political adventurers, who come to thc South for tho purpose of creating dissen? sions betweeu tho whito and black races, but enterprising, hard-working immigrants, who come to improve the conntry-that are casting their lots amongst us. Tho Bainbridge Argus notes the faot that Methodist camp meetings aro about to bo revived in various sections of the South. We ouce heard a very distinguished Methodist clergytnau advance the opinion that camp meetings were the "inventions of the d-1." Commissioners appointed to ascertain thc amount of damage done to property iu the border counties of Pennsylvania 'during the rebel invasion have completed their allot? ment. Tho total amonnt claimed is $1,821, 031.44, and the amount allowed $1,093, 351.52. Two young women per day commit sui? cido in Paris on account of disappointed love. Ono man per day kills himself on ac? count of pecuniary embarrassments. Which shows the most sense? The New York Express suggest*, nc w the Odd. Fellows' Jubilee is over, that tho "odd girls" get up c celebration, and got even with the men by marrying. A VERDICT.-A man died suddenly from intemperance, and a Western jury found that "deceased came to his death toy drinking between drinks." It takes fifty-seven paymasters, from Bri? gadier-General down, to do nothing in the world but pay off the present standing army of the United States. A suit is set dowu for early trial in a Tennessee court, to test the right of a ma? gistrate solemnizing a marriage to kiss tue bride. [Jail The new three cent stamps after passing through.the post office aro like pugilists emerging from a mill, quite black and blue iu the face. New Orleans, finding it cannot prohibit gambling bouses, proposes a stiff tax on that sort of industry. A I M A R ' S S AR ACE ?VIA.

As excursions by newspaper men from the North aro now the order of the day, it bas boen suggested that, a party of Southern ed? itors be formed, for a trip to the North dur? ing tho comiug month. What say the South Carolina Knights of the Quill? Business will, doubtless, be slack at that season, and a little wholesome recreation, besides an in? sight into matters and things about the large cities of that portion of the United States, will bo particularly gratifying. This idea was thrown out by a Northern editor, who had been kindly receivod during an extend? ed Southern tour. -o PAINFUL ACCIDENT-THREE MEN SERIOUS?

Ml tlf3 -o How TO RETAIN YOUTH AND BEAUTY.-It is a matter of no little importance now-a dayu, among men and women, to preserve the bloom and freshness of more youthful days.

External appliances cannot rejuve? nate the decaying spirits of mau or woman, so long as they neglect to keep the lamp of life well supplied with pure blood. Some? thing must be done to quicken and vitalize the inner man and supply the. waste tissues with pure blood, if you would preserve tho ruddy glow of health and beauty of youth. HEINITSH'S QUEEN'S DELIOHT is the great blood purifier und u beautifier, because it removes by its invigorating and cleansing properties, all blemishes, spots, pimples, boils, eruptions. It purities and beautifies. For sale by FISHER & HEINITSH, A29 Druggists. Tribute of Respect. At a meeting of True Brotherhood Lodge, No. 81, A. F.
