COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning, July 7,1869. ANOTHER DONATION TO THU PEABODY EDUCATIONAL FOND.-Mr. George Pea? body has added $1,000,000 iu railroad and' other bonds, mostly Southern, to the Peabody ?ducation fand, so-called, and $384,000 in Florida six per cent, bonds, and over-due coupons. The entire fund now consiste of $2,000,000 yielding inte? rest; the annual revenue from which is more than $180,000, and $1,500,000 more in Southern State securities, pay? ment of which is suspended. Should these be paid, the annual income of the trust will be $225,000-sufficient, under judicious management, to support good common schools for at least 6,000 pupils. The trustees at present aro Mr. Robert O. Winthrop, of Massachusetts; Bishop Charles P. Moll vainc, of Ohio; Admiral D. G. Farragut, of the navy; Messrs. John H. Clifford, Wm. Aiken, Wm. A. Graham, C. Macalister, Samuol Wet? more, George Peabody Russel, George N. Eaton, Samuol Watson and Dr. Barnas Sears, the general superintendent or agent? - , + ?1? .. . EXPLANATION WANTED;-The radical organs of the North continue to assert ?hat the perpetrators of the murder of Atkins and one or two others in Georgia are well known and that they could be arrested at any hour if the Georgia au? thorities wished tc arrest thom. The as? sertion is as foolish as it is false. Its authors know that President Grant, several weeks ago, instructed his own military commander in Georgia to use the force under him to aid the civil au? thorities in discovering and arresting the murderers and bringing them to justice, and that the commander replied prompt? ly that it should be done. Why, then, is it not done? If tho criminals are known and oan be arrested ia an hour, why, after weeks and woeks, with Grant's military at work, are they not arrested? Have the military been bribed? Havo they turned rebels? What can the mat? ter be? Who knows but they have found out that all the killing has been done by negroes and aro carefully concealing tho fact for tho good of the nd ministration and tho honor of tho negro race? DisanACFUii TO RADICALISM.-Tho military satrap in Mississippi, nearly three years ago, acting under tho au? thority of Congress, gave notice that any oitizen who should dismiss, or evan threaten to dismiss, negroes from hie service for voting with the radical party would be punished, and General Canby has just put a man on trial in Virginia for saying that he would dismiss his ne? gro hands for voting with his enemies. And yet it is a fact that the Grant ad? ministration, before it had lived through the period of a puppy's blindness, issued an official order, that all the tens oi thousands of laborers in its employ, whe were not of its party, should bo driven out to feed or starve, live or die, os the j might! Is there any undiscovered dcptl of shame, asks the Louisville Courier Journal, left for radicalism to root dowi to? Messrs. Grant & Co. act on the as sumption that a mah hos not so mud right to select the labor for his own farn as they have to select that for tho navy yards and work-shops belonging to tin ooo nt ry. ? o ? ? No one can read the gasconading grandiloquent reports made by eithe side in the Cuban war, without confess ing himself totally at a loss how far t< credit the information received from tba island. Snch alarming ' discrepancy ii casualties uniformly appears at the ex pense of the onemy, and the battles ar conducted so rc:y leisurely, being in on instance adjourned on account of i shower, that v$o ar? afforded reason ti doubt whether any engagement, worth; of the name, has yet been fought. I lo\ far thc Fabian policy may serve tho in terests of the revolutionists, it is inipos siblc for us to estimate, but unless the; exhibit a little more dash than hereto fore, American onthusiasm in their be half must wauo. Spain is said to b getting tired of the Cubau war, aud i proof of it thc Impartial, one of th leading Spanish journals, makes a vcr; strango statement. It says that agent of tho Government havo been sent abou to the newspnpor offices to tamper wit the press, with a view to obtaining it advocacy for tho sale of Cuba to th United States. The Spanish causo i Cuba is by no means hopeless, but th cost of carrying on thc p. cont demil tor war nt snch a distance is too bnrdensom to ba longer endured. The Spanish Gc vernment think they may as well have good round sum for their Hue possobsior aud thoy havo, according to thc indip nant Inpartial, invited tho press to gt up an agitation on tho subject. ????> Miss Muggie lt. Lee died very Mulder ly in Charleston, on Monday last. Sh attended church the day before. i ni'?!??? mmmm?MBmam*m*smmmmmmm*immmm MEXICO.-Tho New York Time* no? tices the politico" changes in Mexico which have eventuated in making Juarez dictator, wita s coatoeil of eight-and twenty of the most' prominent ot its Congress, to aid him in his new and formidable task. It cannot entirely blame the Juarez Administration for ita action, because it thinks the necessity for it was io some measure forced upon its devisors by fate. It anya the per? petual revolts in Sonora, ?Siunion, Chi? huahua, Durango'and California; the' lawnessness of 'bandits and guerilla chiefs in Cobaliuiln, Zacatecas and Guadalajara? tho frequent outbreaks in Gu oner o -and Oaxaca; the plots in Puebla, the constant unsettled condi? tion of Yucatan, have kept the whole republic in a broil, now North, now South, now West, while the weakness and corruption of the Government have been aggravated by tho condnct of the S tato authorities. It adds: "That dark days have oome iu tho Mexican Calendar is clear; Dor does it neod a prophet to foretell that worso re? main behind. Should Juarez uso his new power to strengthen his position, control the eleotions, pat down his rivals, and clear the roads of robbers, the result would probably be a centralized govern? ment, moro powerful than has ever been known ia Mexico, but with the rights of States encroached upon unlawfully. The probabilities are, however, that his op? portunities will be frittered away; that his assumption, of control will be the signal for revolution through tho repub? lic; nod ? revolution, too, which he will not be able to direct." Mrs. -Gui?es publishes in the New Or? leans Times a card in relation to the suit recently instituted against her in that city. She says that several of those whose names appear as plaintiffs in that suit have assured her that they never gavo any authority to any person to in? stitute proceedings. She further says that the possession of her property is only a question of time, and adds: "For years I Bavo borne every species of per? secution until forbearance has now ceased to be a virtue. But from all thoso who meet me amicably, I will still entertain propositions for compromise in the spirit of liberality which I have at all times heretofore evinced." INSULTS TO THE DEAD.-Late on Fri? day evening, when the remains of Col. J. lt. Branch were being carried into his late residence, on Broad street, a party of disorderly negroes who were passing cried out, "Fellows, here's one moro vote less;" anil another said, "Yes, and there will be many more before tho election comes off," and the whole crowd broko out in a disgusting horse-like laugh. These words were not spoken in the or? dinary tono of conversation, but yelled out ns if intended to reach not only tho ears of by-standors, but also members of tho family. Bat a Abort while before this, the "band" of Lo wis Lindsay stop? ped before the same house and com? menced playing. Tho Kingdoms of Sweden and Den? mark aro to be again wedded on the 27th of July in the persons of Prince Loais, heir to the throne of the latter country, and the Princess Louise, who is next in succession to the crown of Sweden. Only one trifling obstacle exists to mar the perpetuity of that union, and that is tho people of the two countries hate each other cordially. It will not bo tho first time their destinies have been thus united, bat suoh unions have always failed utterly to bring about ono of feel? ing or to remove in any way tho tradi? tional and hereditary hatred of the rival people. Tho historians who have been vexing their hearts over the persistent refusal of tho War Department to grant them access to the archives of the Confederate Government might better have possessed their souls in patience. It is reported that tho President is about to throw open these records, under proper restric? tions, tb all applicants. The New York Tribune says that if tho testimony of those who have examined them may bo accepted, it will then be found that tho archives so eagerly sought are nearly worthless when attained. BOUND OVBB.-John B. Hubbard, State Constable of South Carolina, Was bofore Justice Ells and Verdery yester? day, in two caaes, for preliminary exa? mination, on charges of false imprison? ment, hied by Messrs. Flint and Sharp ton, of Hamburg, S. C. The prosecu? tion was represented by J. C. C. Bine':, Esq., and tho d?f?nce by J. P. Carr, Esq. The defendant was bound over in 800U in each case for his appearance nt the January term of tho Superior Court. [Augusia Constitutionalist. I . A physician of Platin, Mo., ono Dr. A. Hill, reports that tho notorious despe? rado and outlaw Sam Hildebrand, for whose head a reward of 810,000 has been offered, is dead. He declares that tho fellow died from the effects of a wound in his thigh, and that he attended him at the request of some person to himself unknown. Charles Bishop, a wholesale merchant at New naven, Conn., died very sudden? ly Saturday. A few moments before his death, he told his wife that he never felt better in his life, and but a few days be? fore his death ho allowed a $20,000 lifo insurance policy to expire on account of his long continued good heulth. A moros OF THE WEATHEK.-When you aro going out on nn excursion, fine wea? ther comes very pat, but the rain often comes natte.-. CHINESE LABOUBBS.- There ore re? ports which come in a rather strange way. and need confirmation, says the St. Loafs Republican, that a number of thousands of Chinamen, lately employed on the Pacific Railroad, are on the way from Omaha to the Sooth. Such an im? migration, if true, would occasion not a little surprise in the publie mind, having an important bearing upon the material and political interest of tba Boothera States. It would be an evidence, too, of the shrewdness of John Chinaman, and show that he keeps himself thoroughly versed on what is going on around him rh ore especially where Iiis pocket is di? rectly concerned. The idea bas found s lodgment in his brain that the South needs labor, and just that sort of labor which the Chiuese can furnish cheaper, if not better, than any other people on earth. For a Chinaman hos infinitely more industry and intelligence than a negro, and can grow rich on what a ne? gro will waste. He is the man, above nil others, to work the cottou and sugar plantations of the Qulf States, and to reconstruct on a solid and permanent basis the labor system of that section. If an instalment of Chinese should suc? ceed in gaining a foot-hold there, others will follow, until tens of thousands of Celestials will contribute to the woalth and prosperity of tho country. It is the first time in the history of tho world that Asia and Africa are brought faco to face in social and economical antagonism ; and the result will be watched with the deepest interest by those who appreciate the gravity of the interests involved. A candidate for tho French Corps L?gislatif!' goes,'.during tho late cam? paign, to a ship-builder's yard, whore ho chats with the workmen and offers them coffee, ?fee., which they are glad to ac? cept. When it is time for leaving them he pays the bill, (a hundred cups of coffee and thousands of drinks,! and says to them, "Well, boys now that we know one another, I hopo all of you will vote for me." "We should like to do so, sir," replied one of the workman, "but wo ought to tell you that all us hero are Belgians." Tho English papers record a tolerably smart viol, that is attributed to Earl Cla? rendon, the present foreign minister for Great Britain. Mr. Sumner, after liv? ing into advanced age a bachelor, mar? ried, three years since, a young widow of great personal attractions. Recently, tho man and wife have, on the ground of incompatibility of temper, separated. Lord Clarendon being asked what im? pression Mr. Sumner's late speech had made upon him, answered: "I have read it, sir, with much interest, and have formed from it a very high opinion of Mrs. Sumner." Three colored children, aged respec? tively five, eight and eleven, wore drown? ed in the Kalamazoo River, at Allegan, Michigan, recently, by their step-mo? ther, who was jealous of them. Tho woman hud been married to the father of the children but a few weeks. At the point in the river where the children wero drowned, the water is only about two feet deep, and, us the mother con? fessed, the children were held tinder the wuter until life was extinct. This is an age of progress. In Owen County, Ky., for instance, a grand jury, Inst week, "presented" nu aged woman of that place, on the charge of being a witch-which she says that she is not. It is alleged that she cast au evil eye upon her neighbor's cattle, so that they sick? ened and died by the score; and, further, that she affected the waters of the wells upon which she looked, that nil who par? took of them languished and eventually followed their fathers to dream-land. A radioal paper in Philadelphia says with emphasis that Mrs. Grant is in favor of the government's giving a liberal pen? sion to Mrs. Lincoln. As Mrs. Grant is a President's wife, and reported to be a tensible woman withal, we do not believe that she would be guilty of the indelicacy of openly electioneering for tho establish? ment of a precedent to insure to her own benefit. HABK TO 'EM.-A son of Major Walk? er, of Madison, has presented Lewis McKenzie with eight hound puppies, which he says he intends to train so that ho can run all tho carpet-baggers in his District across the Potomac. Valuable "purps" them. Jean Maria Farina, the "genuine" co? logne manufacturer, is dead, leaving se? venteen other, but fraudaient, Jean Ma? rla Farinas in Cologne to aarvive him. Laura Farina, worth $2,000,000, marri? ageable, and but twenty-one, succeeds him in the cologne business. A great number of American children attend school in Brussels, where tuition and board are at a muoh lower rato than in New York, and where, moreover, the girls dress simply, and not, as in the New York fashionable up-town schools, like little duchesses. Tho Treasury detectives have recently enpturod about a dozon members of a counterfeitiug gang which has been ope? rating throughout several Eastern and Western States. A largo amount of counterfeit currency and engraving ma? terials was also seized. A load of 1,500 eggs was recently smnshed in front of the post-oflico at Batavia, New York, and as they couldn't be picked up again, a barrel of coal tor was poured over the streets and set on fire, as the only means of preventing a very bad smell. A traveler in Pennsylvania asked his landlord if he had bad any cases of son stroke in that town. "No, sir," said the landlord; "if a man gets drunk here, we say he is drunk, and never call il by any other name." At a young ladies* seminary, recently, during an examination in history, ono of tho most promising pupils was interro? gated: "Mary, did Martin Luther dio a natural death?" "No." was tho reply, "ho was excommunicated by a bull." Human progress-From pap to papa. Whether ladies like smoking or not j depends upon the smoker. With special favorites, they like it; with general fa? vorites, they don't dislike it; with no fa? vorites, they detest it. A shoe-string saved a little girl's life in New Haven, the other day. It caught on a nail as she fell ont of a third-story window, and held her from denth until assistance came. A compromise bas been effected in the ease of Mrs. Pollard. She is to pay $100 and costs, aud be released from jail. Her friends promptly paid up. The 'Florid? Legislature sat only three weeks in ita late extra session. The members have' a y?arly salary, and not per diem salary. A stage coach fell down a canon in Ca? lifornia, a few days since, killing three passengers and injuring nineteen. The Boston Post says: "Delano thinks of tuxing newspapers ns manufacturers -of public opinion." Funeral Invitation. Tho friends and acquaintances uf Mr. and Mrs. \V. A.

VERY TRUE.-A Washington corres? pondent of tho Baltimore Gazette de? clares that Audrew Johnson need not stop his public speaking on tho score of a "want of dignity" in au ex-President. The Presidential office has long ceased to have anything of tho kind associated with it. Morris8ey's descent from boss gambliug to Congressional duties was iu-' deed a loss of dignity; but Johnson's passage from the Presidency to the stump is only a return to first principles. With "plantation manners" all dignity has gone from Washington and its olficial residents. With Taylor's Saw G?mmer and Sharpener thero is always a standard tooth. HEINITSH'S QUEEN'S DELIGHT.-What is it? Ask your neighbor, who has been relieved of a distressing disease. Ask that rheumatic what cured him. Ask the victims of dyspepsia. Ask that beau? tiful daughter what removed those hide? ous spots and ulcers, and made her face as fair as Parian marble. Ask the once iaundiced victim of liver complaint. Ask that once poor emaciated form, the subject of female irregularities, what brought about such a marvelous change. The answer is, 1 'It's HEINTTSH'S QUEEN'S DELIGHT." Como out, then, all ye de? sponding ones. Be cheerful, gay and happy. If you are sick, fail not to try, only try-no easier task-a bottle of HEINITSH'S QUEEN DELIGHT.
