ICOLUMBIA, 8. C. Sundiy JSorninar, Auguste, 1869. COOLIE. -The New"York Tribune dis covers cause for grave apprehension,! if not positive alarm, in the , arraugements being, made to import Mr. Chinaman into this country. It goes on to argue that they are an effeminate race, with no perception of tho solemn i ties of a Chris? tian's oath, with ? religion that inspires meYanc??bTy and suicide, with"no self-re-" s^ir^y, ir?cktr?na, ifi-i^raipeots, uttcrl^ ta?fl?ed-fdr contaot with n free association; vf H n Okriet?au nation.' Bat the great ; rub-tho place where it hits hardest with . tho Tribune-is expressed in the following paragraph : "A great many bf the Chinese will bo taken into tho valley o of tho South to work, ripon cotton and sugar estates*, whetffcihey mar replace the African, Thef fcinise of the Pacific and Rockey Mountain Stales will absorb others/. They will, to some oxtont, do the work of the Irishman with mattock and bar? row. Just treatment ought to be secured for them by special and well-considered provisions of law. They are hereditary and life-long minors. -Ages of bondage have sapped the foundations of charac? ter, ?td emasculated their manhood. Brought hither br ship-loads, and cast ashore on remote plantations or immured in distant mines, they may become the easy prey of a raco that too lately oonld be stigmatized as a nation of slave drivers." A GLOOMY PBOPHEOY.-The Hickman (Ky.) Courier announces the death of Miss Susan C. Godsey, known as the sleeping wonder. The fact is well au? thenticated that Miss G. had been, for twelve years previous to her death, in a state of ooma, or sleep. This disposi? tion to constant Bleep was produced by a severe attaok of, chill and fever, since which tim? she only woke at intervals, onoe or. twice a day, remaining awake for bot a few minutes. On the day of her death.she made one or two predic? tions, which are given by the Cotirier for what they are worth. One was that the sun would be totally eclipsed on the 7th of August, a fact of which she could not have had any knowledge, os her friends assort. Another was that1 'the san would never shine as bright after that day," which will indicate that the end ot the world is speedily approaching. Whether a constant sleeper is better qualified to predict future events than a wide-awake prophet, is a point we will not pr?tend to decide.

The Saturday Review contains an arti 0l? ?rtafi^,^8e?c^??^fe'SeeaYno* Fo?l?^ftfthe wriflr intojR pi?t?rfiqn^kle I taila ]?f the toMio, bhfr?fer tf-tte point with.wbioh thl papjw closet, th?t "flirt Lingjpth^inter4|i8 a IfcrujM, 4|alj|, a>d a heartless amusement;* ana "t?ra? was when cruelty ?ad falsehood were essen? tially sins that vitiated all. claims to gen? tlehood." We are quite disposed to agree with this sentiment. Bat in the same breath tho essayist saya: "And yet the world would be v?ry dull without that mnoo??TIrina df'tiOTieile'^linTcTi'g?es by tho nama of flirting-that pleasant something which is more than mere ac? quaintanceship and lesa than formal loverbood-thatindefinite interest by which the one man or the. ono wo mau beoomes a kind of microcosm for tho time, mu? epitomo of ali that is, lovely." It is hard to got a glimpse in this way of undefinable interests, und of all that is lovely, and to be informed that we should on no account, without vitiating our claim to gentlehood, at least grasp at the pleasures within oar reach. The fact is, to call flirting "an innocent kind of non? sense," ts to talk lightly of every poi? sonous folly. It is too often the wicked diversion of thoughtless Women and silly men, or of women of designing temper, and men of a disposition to matoh. The slighted young women who have been disappointed and thrown over by artists in flirtation are not at all to be regarded as suffering angels, but it is useful to consider that after their eyes, have been dried, a little hardening of the heart will set io, not at all likely to make them more angelio than they were born to be. Men who consider women fair game for attentions that mean nothing desire particularly to exercise their cultivated gifts of fascination upon first-year belles, and the effect of the process upon these ladies is often of a very injurious charac? ter. A male flirt is a stupid ooward, as 1 a rule, who leads a woman into personal compromises with him, and, although he may not boast of his intimacy, thc con? sciousness that it is in bis power to do so is torturo enough to tho victim of his at? tentions. Of course, when there are really two parties to tho sport it bo somes a different thing, although the word innocent is not appbcabJe to any variety of the amusement. There aro many women who are born flirts, who ?re quite equal to every tarn of tho pur? suit, and who will baffle the oldest hands at it. There are women, also, semi-de? tached wives, who apparently exchange license with their husbands in such mat? ters, the gentleman giving leave to his wife to walk and. to ride with whom she will, the wife, on her part, never trou? bling herself about her* husband's going and coming, or with the genial notice he may happen to beatow upon the good looking girls of their mutual acquaint? ance. These people can take care o! themselves. The Saturday Review, a short time ago, pleaded for the ?man? cipation of the "bored" husband; when the bored wife insists on the same lati? tude we can scarce see how it oan be rea? sonably denied her. This system of en? deavoring to escape marital responsibili? ty, and to shirk the duty of forbearance incumbent npon married people, is dis? tinctly evil, and flirting is far too mild an expression to apply to the commonest and most seductive means of escape. In dealing with this subject it is too often forgotten that there ia a olass of : persons muoh concerned in it who may suffer considerably from the notion that tl ir tin g "is an innocent kind of amuse? ment." It was only last month that a : London barrister read out in court the i letters of an erratic bagman who had i jilted a dress-maker as brilliantly as a guardsman might have jilted the daugh? ter of a rural squire. Whenever these breach of promise cases turn up, we may < Dbser ve the grossness of the vice of flirta? tion with the gilding quite rubbod off it. i In too many examples the woman has I suffered the worst betrayal, she not hav- < ing us many things, probably, to distract 1 lier mind as her sister in higher circles. I Here, indeed, tho amusement is not of un innocent kind, and tho counsel for tho defendant has, as wo know, con? stantly to struggle for a mitigation of damages by throwing in observations as bo tho conduct of the plaintiff, also in? consistent with the view that flirtation is El harmless recreation. But it may be said that flirtation is thc luxury of the rich; poor people cannot afford the en? tertainment, or when they go about it blander into unseemly catustropbes. It is doubtful whether tho well-to-do after all arc not worse off from tho custom than those boueath thom. What was tho meaning of thc girl of tho period scandal ? Why aro women accused of heartless selfishness and extravagance ? It may be, we suspect, that they have sickened of honest lovo when so often disappointed of it, and have then taken to the drugged cup of flirtation. Lou? don this year lias not boen freo from strange rumors of thc consequences of "this innocent kind of nonsense" in va? rious quarters. A little smoko in this cabe shows n great deal of smouldering tire, and modem society noeds no in? structions or incitations to "that bright and animated intercourse which makes tho hours pass so easily." The Saturday Review hints that to go too far is to spoil tho sport. Like wine, or tobacco, or tho bicycle, you may have too much of a good thing. Flirtation is ono of thc few accomplishments, luxuries, or sins, from which wo would recommend total ab Btiueuco to the majority of ladies and gcntlomcu. Intimacies will spring up of a spontaneous and agreeable kind be? tween men and women, which need in no respect resemble that foolish, selfish, or guilty exhibition of temporary emotions mildly termed flirtation, but which is simply a constructive apology for dere? lictions of modest behavior.

At the sam papers publish reporte." which ar* rather problematical, of another in te nd od Fe T man' invasion of Canada. These are curions respuuses tu the triumphal pass*"I age of Mr. ? iladstono's Irish Chnroh Bill, which was foolishly expected to pacif?cate Ireland. We pointed out nt the start that it Was not'of itself equal to producing such an effect, and judging by tho accounts which reach us, it will pro* bai)ly alienate tho Protestant population in Ireland, for the time at least, without conciliating the Kornau Catholics. It remains to bo seen, however, whether the prediction of one of the Irish oppo? nents of the bill will be realized, that "it will make every nnlonist a repealer, with? out converting a single repealer into an' unionist." Behind the church question, and far more practical and deon rooted in the popular emotions, is the land question. As stated by the Bishop of Peterborough, in his great speech in the House of Lords, the whole of Ire? land has eome into the possession of its present proprietors by confiscation on account of former rebellious, nine-tenths of it being held by the landlord and one tenth by the church, and it is not likely that tho surrender of this one-tenth, held hitherto by a body of gentlemen in? dividually popular, is going to render the Irish people contented with the re? tention of the nine-tenths by the land? lords, who are mostly absentees and not favorites personally. " Still deeper down in the Irish heart than even this, latent and kept under foot by outside pressure, is that absorbing passion for national in? dependence, which can never be ap? peased by any legislation which does not proceed from itself. We do not attribute much importance to the reported Fenian project for another invasion of Canadu. The or? ganization boro possesses comparatively little vitality, and tho administration, which has shown so much vigilance of late in repressing Cuban filibustering, will, no doubt, if necessary, guard with equal care its neutral obligations towards England, in view of the importance of making our conduct consistent with the argument we have been holding with the British Government on that subject, growing out of the Alabama claims. The demonstration in Limerick, however, upon tho very heels of the passage of the Irish Church Bill, looks significant and ominous. Its influence may be felt in discouraging some of the friends in Eng? land of Irish reform, and, perhaps, per? plexing Mr. Gladstone. But both he and they have the satisfaction of having done right in what they have effected so far.-Baltimore Sun. THE MISSISSIPPI STEAMBOAT RIOT.-A horrible affray occurred on the steamer Dubuque after leaving this eity, this forenoon, which terminated in the kill? ing of two negroes (deck hands) and one raftsman, and tho badly wounding of two or three others. As near as I can learn, the trouble originated as follows: Fifty raftsmen came on board the boat at Da? venport, and the clerk ordered two of the negro deck hands to stand guard at the gangway, while he assorted the deck (rom tho cabin passengers, and not to allow any one to pass without his permis? sion. One of the raftsmen tried to pass the guard and make his way to the cabio, when the deck hand ordered him back until his ticket was examined by tho clerk. He, not liking this, commenced pitching into the deck hands, who got the best of him, when the raftsmen, to the number of over 100, came to his res? cue, stabbing and beating the two deck hands until about dead, threw them into the river, and made an assault on the rest of the deck crow, succeeding in kill? ing three more of them, and throwing their bodies into the river. One of the raftsmen was also killed in tho melee making six in all killed. As soon ns Hampton was reached Captain Rhodes landed the boat, when tho raftsmen drove the deck crew ashore, injuring several of them with stones. As soon as it was over, they went aboard tho boat and ordered thu captain to proceed up the river, or they would burn his boat. Ho being in their power, and fearing they would carry their threat into execution, headed the boat np stream, and in the meantime telegraphed to tho sheriff here, who chartered au extra train and left with a largo force of men well armed. They overtook the boat nt Clinton, and imme? diately took possession of her. On their arrival here, there wero 5,000 people on tho river bank, together with the crew who wero driven oif the boat, and with their and other portions of tho crow's assistance they succeeded in re? cognizing forty-two of tho men, who wore taken to jail under a strong guard. A. largo forco is posted about the jail, and no further trouble is expected. [Correspondence Chicago Republican.

TRUTH IN BRIEF.-Any body oan soil the reputation of an individual, howovei puro and chaste, by uttering a suspicion which his enemies will believe and bis friends never hear of. A puff of idle wind can take up a million of the seedf of tho thistle, and do a work of mischiei which the husbandman must labor long and hard to undo, the floating particle: being too trifling to be seen, and toe light to bo stopped. Such are the seedf of slander, so easily sown, so difficult te be gathored up, and yet so pernicious ir their fruits. They know that many t mind will catch up the plague and be como poisoned by their insinuation without ever finding or caring to seei tho antidote. No refutation can refutt a sneer, nor any human skill prevent it mischief. THAT COMET.-For ten years past, as tronomers have told us, that during thi months of July, August and September in this year, the most wonderful come the world has ever known, would appear This comet is on time. It is now to b seen, astronomers assert, with the nakei eye, any clear night, in the Northen part of tho heavens, between ll and 1 o'clock, and from that time (ill the morn ing star rises. Astronomers assure u that this comet will approach nearer th earth than any comet ever did before and that either the earth or the come will have to change its course, or a col liston is inevitable. This comet is sait to be many thousand times larger tba the earth. It is a solid mass of fire, wit a tail of fire that would reach around th earth more than a hundred times, and collision with our planet is not an ever to be very ardently desired.

The rcmaii ing profits of thc mill leave avery ham some net iucomo to the stockholder The subscription books are open nt tl office of Colonel William Wallace, UL we leam that the .stock is being rapid subscribed, to bo paid in cash, payab in October, and in cotton seed. Tl many lines of railroatl centreing he ofter peculiar advantages lo such an e; terprise, and a large busiuess is con: dently expected, seed having been a ready ofTereel from Georgia aud fro every accessible portion of this Stat Cotton seed oil-cako is readily eaten 1 all kinds of stock, is moro nutritious ai digestiblo than corn, and tho manu: derivetl from it is four times as valuab as that from corn. England imports th cake largely, and its market value the is from 2 to 2}? cents per pound (gold whilo corn brings less than \% cents p pound. At present tho only value cotton seed to our furniere is ns manu for com, It is thus converted into fe< at the delay, expense, and risk of ma ing tho next year's corn crop.
