COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Korain?, Jone IS. 1869. A Rabbinic*! l'unfcrtncc. 'The two oldest Jewish rabbis in the Uni tod States,'Dr's'. ~S. Alder and D. Ein? horn, of New, York city, have issued a call for a Rabbinical Conference,, for the purpose of introducing reforms. The oall is as follows: Jewish religious life bas in the past | years, under the blessings of liberty, very auspiciously advanced. Reformed Judaism has become a power from which even the so-called orthodox congrega? tions cannot exclude themselves any longer, and all that is required to more firmly establish the maintenance of this power, and to spread it in more extended spheres, is the concurrence of like think? ing rabbis on the principles, not the form of modern worship, and the solu? tion of various practical religious, espe? cially marital questions, whioh concern Ufe so deeply, and which, in a great mea? sure, are decided in most positive con? tradiction against the principles of re? form, and acoording to the Schuloan Arnon. The undersigned beg, therefore, to in? vite their theologically educated col? leagues who favor decided religions pro? gress to a Rabbinical Conference, to be Afild sometime after the coming holidays, *Wit% a request to communicate their de? cision ?o soon as practicable to ono of the undersigned, and, if fn the affirma? tive case, to designate their wishes as to tho time and place of thc conference. The Jewish Times, which publishes Ibis oall,,makes the folio wing comment's upon it, whioh we quote to show the ob jeot of the calk The Messenger qaya: "Sueh a Conference, a desideratum for :years, tuts now.become an absolute ne .ceasUy, In this country, where no ne? cessity ezitts to temporize and oompro Tmise, where those who are in sympathy with the ideas of progress congregate together, and need make no concessions to those who yetare tied with iron chains to the habits of the past, the advocates of decided positive reform should' come out boldly and proolaim their views aud principles, and bring uboutn harmony of practice with the weight and authori? ty whioh snob a conference would im? part Such questions as'divorces by the civil courts, the Levirate marriage, and others of a like pressing nature, want an authoritative solution. A concurrent de? claration should establish forever, if in our Agenda prayers for the restitution of animal sacrifice for a personal Mes? siah, a reconstruction of a temporal kingdom in Palestine, and the Hebrew language, as the principal language of prayer, are to be retained, and whether reformed Judaism is to drop obselete customs whioh have no longer any mean? ing and significance in our days. DIABOLICAL,.-The Tribune gives the ' following advice to its radical friends in this State. If they attempt to carry it out, a condition of things will be inau? gurated here compared to whioh the condition of Arkansas under Clayton's negro militia rule would be elysium. Does the Tribune not know that those who it persists in calling rebels held in ch ?ck the vast armies of the Federal Go vernment for more than four years, and proved to the world that at the game of "shooting" they were equal, if not supe? rior, to any troops the world ever saw? Does the saintly Horace protend to be? lieve that these same rebels can be indis? criminately ?hot down in cold blood by a few cowardly white miscreants, backed by a horde of semi-barbarous negroes, without bringing ou a collidion, iu which its friends will speedily go to tho wall? Is not the advice given with the view to bring about the speedy and certain de? struction of the negro raoe, whose pecu? liar friend he proposes to be? We tell the Tribune that when it be gins "to shoot down every rebel who op? poses its party" that it will havo begun a work which will make all the devils iu Pandemonium rejoice us they have not rejoiced since the days of Murat and Ro? bespierre. See what tho TWftune teaches: r! "Let tho whole State organizo into societies-secret societies; and when ra1 bels commit their diabolical horrors upon them Kecause of their opinions-, retaliate at a ten-fold ratio. For every life that is taken lay every lionse id ashes withiu five mile? of the spot where such blood is spilled. Shoot down every rebel who opposes you, and turn the horrors back upon those Who are daily repeating thom upon loyal people. Do it! and God wijl be your shield !'? / We say do it,'and a just God will in? terpose a shield and buckler for the deeply wronged white men of the'South, and under His good providence wo have no fear for the result.

TAKING THE POOL.-Good conduct nt Sunday-school sectus to be differently re? warded in different localities. lu a cer? tain Episcopal Church in Sun Francisco, for instance, each soholur that is in bi? place before opening school receives u ticket for punctuality. Our correspond' ent having, as was his habit, como early to school one Sunday, observed a class of jsix or seven boys, aged from seven to twelve years, all of respectable parent? age, throwing dice for who should win the whole lot of pnnctuality ticket?. H?? stood aghast at such depruvity, on such a day-especially when one urchin roared out: "Sixes! I've won; givo us the pool!" Cn KKK v.-Dr. Applegate, of Memphis, lately took the family cash, and eloped with a Mrs. Singer. He has since writ? ten his deserted wife from Iowa, asking her to raise his three children respecta? bly, and hoping to moet them in Heaven, if circumstances over which he had no control should forbid their meeting again on earth.

D. GRANT, BUTLER AND SMITH.-The fol? lowing letter of General Grant, which hoe been lately published, is interesting os history. It is amusing also as exhib? iting Grant's estimate of Butler: LETTER FROM GENERAL GRANT IN 1864. "Headquarters Army of United Slates, City Point. Va., July 1, 1864.-Major Gem-nil HaUeok, Wendling, D C.: Mr. Dunn. Assistant Secretary of War, bus just returned. He informa me that he called attention tu tbe necessity of send? ing Gen. Butler to another field f duty. Whilst I have no difficulty with Gen. Butler, finding bini always olear in his conception of orders, and prompt lo obey, yet tbpre ia a want of knowledge how to execute, and particularly a preju? dice against him HP. a commander, that operates against his usefulness. I have feared that it might become necessary tu separate him and Goo. Bmith. Tbe lat? ter is really one of the most edi ci eut offi? cers in tho service, readiest in expedients, and most skillful in the management of troops in action. I would dislike re? moving him from his present command, unless it was to increase it, but, us I say, I may have to do it if Gen. Butler re? mains. "As an administrative officer Gen. Butler has no superior. In taking charge of a department where there are no bat? tles to be fought, but a dissatisfied ele? ment to oontrol, no one could manage it better than be. If a command could be cut out, euob nr. Mr. Dana proposed, namely: Kentucky, Illinois and Iudiitua; or if the Department of the Missouri, Kansas, and the States of Illinois aud In? diana con ld be emerged together, and Gen. Butler put over it, I think the good of the service would be subserved. "I regret tbe necessity of asking for n obange in commanders here, but Geu. Butler, not being a soldier by education or experience, is in the bande of his sub? ordinates in the execution of all opera? tions military. I would feel strengthened with Bmith, Franklin or J. J. Reynolds, commanding tbe right wing of the army. At the same time, as I have here stated, Gen. Butler bat always been prompt in bis obedience to orders from me, nud clear in bis understanding of them. 1 would not, therefore, be willing to re? commend bis retirement. "I send this by mail for consideration, but will telegraph if I think it absolutely necessary to make a change. U. 8. GRANT, Lient-euan t-Geueral. " A DETHRONED KINO.-Cotton can never again be king in America, und ab? solutely rule over us, yet its broken sceptre, made whole ouoe more, will, after a while, make ita power felt ai home and abroad. The distress of the English cotton operatives during tbe rebellion, did much to foster the ill-will of the lower chucees against'thia conutry, and- Eng? land took advantage of tbe occasion to establish the growth of that staple in many of her dependencies, but so unsiio oessfully, that it in estimated hy the British Board of Trade, I hui there "are in England 5,000 - people less earning their living in- c >ttou munn factored, tbnn there were before the it hellion." ? The present appearances now of th" cotton crop-South is not altogether fa-' vorable, yet- when tbe schemes of the Memphis mid Now ?i leans Commercial Conventions are' curried ont. and the South is again supplie.I with the means to properly conduct''the culture of cot? ton, tlietfe l? ?t? rvafcou to Suppose thal she will not hereafter raise larger aud better crops ..iban she ever did. Her labor will be more skilled, her planters more intelligent, ana ber agricultural appliances more perfect in every way. Thu British Board of Trade estimate above referred to also shows that instead of their now being 60,000 leas cotton operatives than before the war, in the natural order of the laws of trade, there ?.thou ld be 170,000 more people so employ? ed.

The train consisted of the engine, ten? der, mail car, boggago car, erooking car, ladies' car, chair car, two sleeping cars nod a special car-tho latter" occnp??'d~by General Grant, Mrs, Grant and two chil? dren, Mr. Cramer, Consul at Leipsig, (brother-in-law of the President.) and wife, and Hon. Seoretary Boutwell, who were en routs North. The train, being a through one, did not stop at way stations, and was pro? ceeding nt full speed, and when reaching a poiut about 250 -yards North of the junction, in a deep cut, where a County road crosses, a cow appeared upon the track, whioh was caught up by the cow? catcher and thrown up the bank. Many of the passengers in the cars whioh went off the track were violently thrown from their seats, und several re? ceived injuries; though, with but one exception, that of Mr. barnool Weil, of Atlanta, Ga., none were, it is believed, seriously hurt. Immediately there were frantic cries and much alarm. The next oar, occupied by ladies, was also turned over npou one side diago? nally across the track, and was badly broken and shattered. The passengers were thrown together in a mass, but none were, it is believed, seriously hurt. A colored woman, having a child in her anos of M ra. Lincoln, of Washington, bud lier collar-bone fractured by being thrown violently against the oar. The child was also somewhat injured, thouub it is thought not seriously. Others in the car received bruises, slight cut?. Ao. The smoking-car fared tho worst, il being overturned and whirled around endwise upon the track. It was verj badly smashed up, and it was in this cir that most all of the injuries to passen gera occurred. The Mr. Weil referrer! to an being seriously injured was seater in this car. He was on bis way to No? York, with a view of proceeding to Eu rope. His injuries aro principally abou the head, he having been badly bruise< aud received a severe cut ou the left sub of his head aud face, extending from i Hhort distance above thu forehead ti about au inch below the left eye, so thu it is believed the sight of thu latter i entirely destroyed. He was taken np in sensible, but in time recovered conscious ness, and the physician in attendant reports that he is doing well, and is no ueceasarily dangerously wounded, thong he is believed to be injured more or le interually as well as externally. The second passenger car was nc shattered as badly as either of the othe two, but was badly broken, nor wer any of tho passengers seriously injuree though several received bruises, ?fcc. Tho forward end of one of the aleej ing cars was considerably smashed, bi noue of the passengers were injured. The special car, occupied by Genen Grant and family, escaped without ii jury. Mr. Toole, of the superintendent department at Camden Station, in con pan y with Dre. Kluman and Curry, wei among those who went down to tl wreck from this city. The passenge were soon extricated from tho brok? cars, and those reoeiving injuries requi ing .surgical attention proceeded tu tl house of the agent of the ci m pair about 150 yard? distant, where attentio was speedily uffordrd them.

STATEMENT OF A PASSENGER. Mr. Julian A Selby, editor of the ( lamb?a (S. C.) PHO&NIX, was a paeseng and was seated with a lady in the ladi car, tho second One that went off < track. His statement conveys an it of tho alarm und wonderful features the scene, and especially the min?enlo ness of the escape from death and iuji of KO many. Thu locomotive, mail II baggage car ran some distance ahead fore they were checked. The sijioki cur, filled with passengers, was thro ..cross the track, willi one end elevu at least ten feet up the embankment, ti turned completely upside down i wrecked, several of thu occupants bei seriously hurt. Tho ladies.' car follow and was'tolerably filled with passeng? mostly ladies and children. | lt < thrown on its side directly across truck, the eada resting on thu banks both sides of the track. Tho scene presented wa^"i. j nerei be forgotten. Mr. Selby BAy.t that li? ing the noise of the car ahead ruun - -.^HH?TnlMMlMiiil-- - - -mm j OD th? or?ss-ties, and the breaking and crash; as it went over, and feeling tho jar in the car in which ho was sitting, ho braced himself in bis sent, poising him? self as tbe oar went over. He seized hold of tba seat with one hand, holding on to tho lady ia his company, and firmly sup? porting ber with the othor arm, and as thomar was clued around and over on its aide; individuals wero indiscriminately Jumbled pell-mell together upon the side, which rested some three feet from the ground. Mr. Selby found himself be? neath a number of fellow-passengers, male and female, who were soon strug? gling amid tho din. and alarm for extrica? tion. In the catastrophe all tho lights hud been extinguished, and men, women and children were screaming at the top of their voices, and, all being in total darkness, no one could tell at the timo tbe extent of tho accident, or ascertain who had been injured, or who had es? caped. There was no chance of egress from the oar by the doors, its ends be? ing embedded in the banks. Following the promptings of instinct, Mr. Selby, who had maintained a pretty good posi? tion, and never lost his presence of mind, knocked out a window-sash, which be felt below him, with hie foot, and creep? ing out from beneath the ruins, wus ut once in n position to relieve others. One after another, then, he received women and children in that car, ns they wero brought forward, and handed out by other mole passengers. An aged lady fell through one of the windows, and had her bead badly cut, andan infant, aud its colored nurse were burt badly,"but with these exceptions, the passengers in this car all escaped serious injnry, although no one got off without bruises. Tho chair-car followed, and crashing against tho dilapidated ladios's car, was also thrown on its sido, and the passengers shared about the same fate of those in the ladies* car. The sleeping cars were also thrown off, but not upset, aud no ouo in them was hurt. The President's car remained ou the track, and nouo were disturbed in it. "While Furguson's Mississippians (nod a rare set. they? were) were passing through Unionville, South Carolina, en route for tho Tar Hiver country, they passed, in winding through the streets of the village, the dwelling of that hos? pitable gentleman, that pure patriot, that learned lawyer and spotless jurist. Judge-. Tho distinguished Judge is said, withal, to be the finest looking mau in the State. But hospitality, nor learning, nor patriotism, nor purity of ermine, nor stately demeanor could save him from tho jeers of the "boys in grey." The judge stood in the porch of his ele? gant mansion, surrounded by a crowd of lady friends. A cadaverous swamper from the jungles of the Yuzoo swamps, cried out: "Ain't you ashamed, old man, with your white har, to be sparkiu' young gals in public?" A billious specimen of chills and fever shouted "that gal with the red head is mine." Another yelled, "that blue-eyed ono is tho gal for mo." A fourth, "curly head belongs to me.'" A lift h stopped, and, staring nt tbe dignified Judge, said, "Bill, ain't that old fellow got a round, pooty face like a dorg." The Judge retired, so did tbe Indies. A SiNounAK GROTJP.-Last night, at one of our restaurants, there was a sin? gular group drinking wine at a small table. One of them bad been a Confed? erate soldier, and bis right arro had been shot off nearly up to the elbow. Another had lost his right arm in the Federal service, aud it had been taken off close to the shoulder. The other man appeared to be a Federal officer, but complained of no disabilities of any sort. The ex-Confederato declared that had John Bell been elected President, the unhappy war would never have come. The large, whole gentleman thought the election of Douglass would have acted as a soothing preventive. Tie mun who had lost nearly the Whole if his right arm declared that he had bee? an original Massachusetts Abolitionist, and that be had fought well, but that bud be lived in tba South, he would have fought just as well for the stars and bars. An a moro emphatic expression of friendly sentiment, they employed a couple of strolling Italian mnsiciuns to play between drinks "The Bonnie Binn Flag," "Yankee Doodle," "Dixie," "Rally 'round tte flag,: boys," and thc Marseilaise by mn. One day during the hard winter tit 1803, a Miss Arnold applied to General Milrojr fofia pasmit to get forage for ber cow, whose milk'was the chief Siipport of the family. "Are you loyal?" asked tbe General. "Yes," Shi replied. He began to write tho permit-"To the United' States or tho Confederate States?" v f \ r t **Totho Codfederacy, of course,H she replied. "Then' ? ?hui! give you no permit. This infamous rebellion must bc crush? ed." "Well," said she, "if you ann orusb it by starving John Arnold's old cow, go it." GOOD SPELLING.-"Caleb, spell Aa? ron.*' "Great A, little a, r o-n-ron." "Very well; Ichabod, see if you can spell United Stutes." "Yes, sir. Great country, little coun? try, T-a-x- UM.

The boy who, when asked to what trade he would wish to bu brought up, replied "I will be a trustee, because over since pupa has beeu a trasteo wo have bad pudding for dinner," was a wise uhild in his generation. Colonel Ames very generously donated tho proceeds of his circus aud menagerie, Friday afternoon, to the Confederate cemetery at Atlanta. The amount real? ized was about 8 IOU. Tn? Wrong Bed. At ? late boor Tuesday night quito a bridal party arrived in the city, and put up at ono of our hotels. Tho bride was accompanied by two of her yoong lady friends,' and the groom by two gent?o raen. .The names were registered in the usual way, but in Borne way a mistake was made iu reference to tho identity of tho bride. The boars sped ou towards the dawn, and the bride in her silent chamber waited the appearance of her lord. Yet he came not. Surely, he was not sitting up all thia time. The rest of the party had retired she Aros certain, since she had heard thom in their apart? ments! What had become of him? Impatience gradually grew into terror. She rang her bell, and the servant knocked nt the door. "Do you know whore my husband is?" she inquired. "Ain't ho in here, mum?" "No!" "May be he stepped out into the city, mam, and will be back directly." "I'm afraid; oh, do inquire nt the of? fice, and see if there is any intelligence abont him." Tho servant retired, and in a few mo? ments returned with information thnt there was none. The wifo was now ular mod in - earnest. She never had a husband beforo, and, liko tho man who drew the elephant in tho lottery, scarcely knew what to do with the animal. In her anxiety she went to the room of one of her bridesmaids, and knocked at the dcor, "Who's there?" was inquired in ac? cents unmistakably masculine. "Me, Mary; but, mercv, who are yon?" There waa a sudden stir, and tho sound of feet falling heavily on tho carpeted floor. ??nu "Who the devil am I iu bod with then?" she heard the man say, ne the door swnng open, and her husband's face peered. "Oh! I am distracted about you; whore havo j'en been ?" j "I've been here in bed; but, dence take me, I thought you were here, too." "Oh! James, it was n'a me." I i "Who is it thou?" \ "Why. it's Sarnh." "Tho devil!" "Ob, no, James, it was Sarah." "Didn't you know it. James?". "Blast mo, if I did! I found her nsloep, aud thinking this was our room, I crept into bed, and went to sleep," re? plied James, evidently impressed with tho iden that he had a difficult caso to argue. j "Is she asleep yet, James?" "Why, don't yon hear her snore?" But j list then Sarah waked up, and seeing a man in her own room, set up a succession of ecreeohes that soon filled tho hall with people. And now the bridegroom found him? self in a delicate position. Ip the hurry of explaining the matter to his wife, he had neglected to put on his pants; and now in his eager search for them, he was dancing around the room like one pos? sessed; now and then imploring Sarah to hush. "I'm going, don't you . see!" But Sarah was seeing too much, and she couldn't hush; and the wife in the hall, hemmed in by tho eager crowd, had tried to explaiu; but, failing in this, had leaned her head against the wall, and was en? joying a hearty ;?cry. .j At Inst, however, the pants were found and pnt on, and the husband (ind wife escaped to their' chamber, whilst Miss Sarah double locked ber door against all further intrusion j Tho next morning ex? planations were ?one into, but there's no denying that bol h the ladies were the least bit incredulous, and it is said a per? ceptible coldness bas grown up between them, whilst the unintentionally offund ing bridegroom walks about a good deal, his head down, and evidently indulging in unpleasant meditations.
