COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning, May 16, 1869. How the Jewel Consistency Sparkles In the Republican Crown. Some years ago the United States wore engaged in what the, radicals called a war for "suppressing a gigantic rebellion." Eleven States of the Union determined to dissolve the political bands that bouud them to the other States. They established n government, adopted a constitution, organ? ized armies and navies, and for years proved themselves capable of maintaining their in? dependence. Under these circumstances Great Britain accorded to the Son th ern Confederacy belligerent rights. One of her citizens, eluding the vigilance of the crown officers, sold a steamer to the agents of the Confederacy, which vessel in their hands did mnch damage. Separation is now de? manded by the United States of Great Bri? tain, not only for American vessels and property destroyed, but also, it would seem, for a prolongation of tho war. England's conduct is pronounced outrageous, and tho treaty entered into by the late administra? tion is rejected. Is it not strange, asks the Newark (N. J.) Journal, in view of these facts, that the radical leaders and the radical press are almost unanimous in their desire to play the samo gnme towards Spain that England did towards us, only a thousand times moro aggravated? The Cuban rebel? lion does not amount to anything when compared to tho organized resistanco of the South. The rebels have no government or pretense of a government. They aro un? questionably in rebellion against what has been for centuries their legitimate govern? ment. We owe no grudge to Spain, for she did nothing by woy of encouraging the Southern movement. And yet the men who fiercely denounced England would not only give aid and comfort to tho Spanish rebel? lion, but at the same time negotiate with them for the annexation of Cuba. Of course the recognition of the Cubans as bellige? rents now would be n virtual surrender of all claims on Great Britain for the Alabama depredations. But such is radical consist? ency! They aro guided alone by passion, prejudice and self-interest, and in the pur? suit of their ends have no regard for the honor or dignity of the country. ?-1-o SLATIS SiLLii.-The Washington Intelli? gencer says the negro is as much a slave as he ever was. Enrolled in Loyal Leagues, bound up to obedience by oaths, controlled in the service of political masters, his sub? jection is the same, except that his boss is changed. That has been the case to a very considerable extent, but the negroes aro be? ginning to find out that they have masters still, and very unprofitable ones, and are assorting their freedom all over tho South. -o PACIFIC RAILROAD.-Some iden of the magnitude of this road, independent of its length, may be formed from the fact that portions of it cost $300,000 per mile. The blasting powder alone, for li'.) miles this side of Sacramento, cost $900,000, while the average cost per milo of tho mountain sec? tion was $100,000. Tho point of greatest elevation is Bridger's Pass, (Rocky Moun? tains,) 7,531 feet abovo tide water. Tho two companies (Central Pacific and Uuion Pa? cific) have, combined, 310 first clas3 locomo? tives, aud over 1,000 freight cars, all ready for business. Speaking of tho European alliance, thc New York Herald says: The despatch in a New York paper of yes? terday, stating that an alliance against the United States was being formed between England, France and Spain, is not believed in diplomatic circles in Washington. It ic not usual to communicate- such matters tc foreign representatives, and the tenor o! the despatch is considered highly improba ble. Secretary Fish says England has ai much cause to complain of Spain as w< have, and President Grant has not d?cid?e upon any foreign policy that can be obnox ious to any of tho great powers. But, ii case the alliance were formed, Ireland woulc take care of England, Bismark of France Russia would settle up the Eastern quostioi without opposition, a general war wouh ensue in Europo, aud Spain would los Cuba iu just three days. CONFED?RATE SECURITIES.--The August Chronicle reports the following salo in tho city, on Thursday last: 8375,000 iu Confederate States bonds wei sold to C. E. Must in at $9.25 for the lo $290,000 of Confederate States currone wore sold to J. E. McDonald at $12 for tb lot. $2,200,000 in seven-thirty Confedera! States bonds were sold to C. E. Mustin i 821 for tho lot. -o DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.-Mr. I Cheney, formerly of the firm of Joy Cheney, of Charleston, died in Newtoi Massachusetts, a short timo since, in h eighty-fifth year. Mr. Cheney lost bis on son in the Confederate army, and son months afterwards his wife died. Th double bereavement gave Mr. Cheney shock from which he never recovered. Ant Lura RATLROAD.-A public meeting of 'the citizens of Greenville was held in the court house, on Tuesday last, to consider the question of the Air Line Railroad en? terprise. J. H. Goodwin, Esq., was called to the chair, and W. T. Shumate requested to act as Secretary. The Chairman briefly stated that the object of the meeting was to consider tho importance of building the Air Line Railroad from Atlanta, Ga., to Char? lotte, N. C., via Greenville, S. C. Hon. W. P. Price, a member of the Legislature of Georgia, being present, waa requested to address the meeting, which he did in a for? cible manner, setting forth the groat advan? tages of the road; that thc city of Atlanta had subscribed $300,000, and the State of Georgia $12,000 per milo, to completo tho road to the South Carolina lino. After tho conclusion of Mr. Price's remarks, General Easley offered sundry resolutions, looking to the carrying out of tho objects of tho meeting. After the adoption of tho resolu? tions, the mooting adjourned to sale-day in Juuo. TUE Cono SNAP AND TUE CKOPS.-From overy portion of our District wo hear of tho serious damage done to the crop?, especinily cotton, by tho late heavy hail storm and the cold wind that has followed it. Some of our formers tell us that their entire cotton crop is killed outright, others say that at least half of theirs has been killed, while tho other half is BO badly damaged that it will not be worth anything. If the cotton crop fails this year it will be the heaviest blow that our farmers have felt since tho war, as a great many of them have spent their entire crop of Inst your in commercial manures. Wo sincerely hopo it may not be as bad as represented, but fear it is too true. f Winnsboro JVeirs, 15th. -o WEATHER AND CROP.?.-On tho night of tho 5th instant, a great rain fell through? out tho District, accompanied with hail, washing the lands and doing consid?rable damage to cotton just coming up, and corn. These crops aro very backward and the stand invariably complained of as bad. The weather remains cool, and up to the morn? ing of tho 9th wo hear reports of slight frost. Oats and wheat look healthy and promising, but tho surface seeded is con? sidered comparatively narrow. [Laurensville Herald. -o-? SENATOR SPRAGUE.-Tho Washington cor? respondent of the New York World says: "Senator Sprague is to make a trip through tho South in the interests of his new plan. He is not to go to Rhode Island till his re? turn, KO his friends say, and meantime tho Goddard who is laying for him is to bo con? ciliated or annihilated. Sprague's candidate for Anthony's seat is ex-Governor James Y. Smith, who was Anthony's competitor when ho was elected, as Spraguo says, by his (Sprague's) iullueuce." A clergyman was arrested in Westchester, N. Y., for forcing his way into tho houses of respectable ladies, and insulting them. Ho pleaded guilty, said the devil had led him astray, but that ho was a gentleman of influence in the city. Ho was locked up. A child five years of age died at its pa? rents' residence, on East Eleventh street, New York, on the 12th inst., from drinking whiskey left inadvertently in its reach by its father. Charleston will have direct communica? tion with Savaunah by rail by January 1st, and by rail and steamers on tho Savannah River by the 1st of October next.

Dr. Rej nolds: "J. L. Reynolds, D. D., of South Care lina, is n man of distinction in the literar and theological circles of the South. Th doctor is about fifly-fivo years old, au though still fine-looking, is not the bane some man ho was twenty years ago. He : a native of Charleston, S. C., and is tin roughly pervaded with tho spirit of h State. He ranks high ns a classical an belles lettres scholar. His writings iva speeches are nearly faultless. Ho was, i one time, Professor of Theology in Merci University, Ga,, and for many years PP fessor in tho South Carolina College, Columbia, vhere be now resides. lu soci life, Dr. Reynolds is remarkably gonial, fi of wit and humor. Ho deserves tho hit position ho has attained, and commands tl respect of all his brethren." -o STOPPED HIS PAPER.-The following auc doto of the lato Mr. Swain, from tho Phil dolphin Press, is not without its moral other latitudes than Pennsylvania: "Many years ago, Mi . Swain, thou edit of the Public Ledger, was hailed at tho cc ner of Eighteenth and Chesnut streets 1 a very excited individual, who inform him in tho most emphatic terms, 'I hu' stopped your paper, sir,' and proceeded explain tho why and wherefore, all the til gesticulating wildly. *My gracious, s you don't say so. Come with mo to t office, and let us seo if wo cannot, reme the matter. It grieves me that any o should stop my paper.' Down Chesn street to Third tho two proceeded. Arrivi at tho offico, Mr. Swain said: 'Why i dear sir, everything seems to bo going here as usual; I thought you had stopp my papor.' Then and thero the exoil gentleman, whom the long walk, by t way, had partly cooled, said that ho li stopped taking his ono copy of tho Lcdg Mr. Swain was profuso in his apologies having misunderstood the meaning of (ato subscriber's words, and regretted tl he had given him the tramp from Eighteoi street to Third, down Chesnut. The gent man went on his way home, a wiser if no botter mau, marvelling nt the stupidity editors in general, and of Mr. Swain in p ticular. Before he left, however, he ordei that tho Ledger be still sent to his nddres -o Ye avaricious! remember, shrouds hi no pockets.

M15 0 -o It may be truthfully said that the greatest of aU blessings is health, for without it, it is impossible to enjoy tho life thnt God has given us. A healthy stomach, a good di? gestion, a good conscience are requisites so important in a physical and moral point of view to human happiness, that wo presume no one will question it. To all alike is health essential for life's enjoyment and pursuits; to young and old, to rich and poor, to man and woman Ave yen in search of wealth? health is essential; do yon desiro oilice and worldly hours? of what avail would these be without health? The beau? ties of spring, tho song of birds, the deep blue skies, all have a poetic fascination with the pure in mind and body; but what are they without health?
