- : y r ' ---- COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Morning, August 14,1869. pRoscnrPTioN.-Who has not read the groans of Forney and other radical edi? tors, when they hare heard of a negro discharged from employment because he Toted contrary to bis employer's wishes? It waa a shameful outrage; a disgrace to t&e country; an evidence of a rebellious spirit; a proof that the State in which it ooo o rr ed needed further reconstruction. Yet Forney's Chronicle, ot Wednesday, coolly says : "On Saturday last, Secretaries Robe? son and Rawlins were visited by a com? mittee from the Pennsylvania Republi? can State Contrai Committee, who peti? tion for the discharge from office of n number of Democratic politicians in the Philadelphia navy yard and arsenal. They recommend persons to fill any va? cancies that ni ay be made. Tho Secre? taries promised to examine into the subject." Yon see, these men aro white, and have no right to vote as they please, according to Forney's idea. THE DOOM OP THH RADICAL PAKTT. The moro sagacious and honest newspa? pers of the Republican party openly ad? mit that the power of the organization is broken, and its rule almost at an end. The New York Sun says: "The Republican party seems to be passing through a most dangerous crisis. Tho Southora olectiona aie all against it, and if tho current is not changed, its doom ic certain. Three causes are work? ing for the destruction of this great party; the conspicuous failure of Grant's ndminis trat ion; the universal amnesty notions of the Hon. Horace Greeley; and the instability of the negro vote." After exposing the utter imbecility of Grant's administration, showing how impossible it is for the Republican party to hold control of a single Southern State except by keeping the whites dis? franchised, and alluding in mournful terms to the unreliable character of the negro vote, the Sun makeB this emphatic assertion: "The recent elections in the South, therefore, do not more clearly indicate to the Democracy the road by whioh they are to achieve a national victory in 1872, than they point out to the Republicans the men and the measures thereby their doom is already sealed." HEAVY.-The war of words between the Maokoys and Congressmen Sawyer and Bowen, is growing very bitter. The Netos, of yesterday, contains a long com? munication from T. J. Mackey, and tho Courier another from A. G. Mackey. T. J. sums up his obarges against Bowen, as follows: 1. That C. C. Bowen stole a valuable set of faro checks from a gambler in this oity, whioh cheeks were sold by Bowen in New York, where they were identified and ultimately recovered by the owner. 2. That C. C. Bowen was imprisoned in Castle Pinokey in 1867, by Governor Scott, then Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau, on the charge of misappropriating the funds of thc Union League. 3. That C. C. Bowen, then Captain oi the 21st Batallion Georgia Cavalry, was tried by court-martial, found guilty, and cashiered for forging pay-rolls, the result being announced in general orders from Gen. Beauregard's headquarters. 4. That C. C. Bowen was arrested upon the charge of having planned thc murder of Col. White, at Georgetown, S. C., in November, 1864; that ho escap? ed punishment by the flight of his ac? complice, and was released from jai! when the Federal troops took possessio! of Charleston in 1865. Intelligence comes across the oceat of another great projeofc ot engineering science, even more important and asto nishiug than the ooean telegraph cables the Suez ship canal, or the tunnel undei the English channel-namely, the turn iug of the great saud desert of Sahara, it Africa, into a lake. The projector anc builder of the Suez canal, M. de Lesseps proposes it. He says surveys have dis dosed the fact that the bed of Sahara ii from two to fifty feet below the surface o the ooean. By means of a canal seventy five miles long, from the Red Sea, watoi may be conducted to the bed of the do sert, and a vast inland sea formed whicl would bo navigable for boats of ligh draft, and afford communication over i wide ex! ant of country. He believes and the same belief is entertained lr other learned men, that this desert wa onoe a shallow lake, and that the wave and storms of the deeper ocean gradually formed a bar of sand hills along tin Western or Atlaniic coast lino, cuttinf Off the supply of water. Tho hot wind sweeping over it dried up the waters anc left tho present low dry bed of sand which, having no rain-fall or other sup ply of water, remained sterile except in i few spots called oases, which continue t< struggle against the heat by means o subterranean springs. Geology shows by means of submerged trees on tho bor ders of tho desert, that this theory i correct. -???> Out of twenty appointments hy thi new Collector of Customs in Charleston fourteen aro colored. Tbo South Carolina. dilver?It jr. MK. EDITOR: A letter from the Colom? bia correspondent bf the Macon Tola graph, copiod in your'paper of the 18th instant, contained certain statements in relation to the University of Sooth Caro? lina, which are both incorrect and mis? chievous. The wi ter of that communi oation says: "It is mainly owing to this circumstance-the mixturo of black and white members in the Board of Trustees -that the most emioont Professors, such as the LeContes, aro seeking chairs in other institutions of learning; and that multitudes of the students are flock? ing to the University of Virginia, and to other literary centres of less note." Un? fortunately for tba verity of this state? ment, tho "Professors LeConte, as well as other members of the Faculty, had been compelled, by the insufficiency of the salary paid them, to seek other positions long prior to the eleotion of tho present Board; and it ia a faot very generally known here, that Professor John Le? Conte had been elected to the University of California, and his resignation accept? ed here, beforo any chango had boou effected in the Board of Trustees of this institution. The assertion that multitudes of stu? dents are flocking to tho University of Virginia, is not sustained by a reference to tue published cataloguo of that insti? tution for the present year, which exhi? bits a total of thirteen pupils from this State. And now, Mr. Editor, pormit me ouo word moro on the subject of the Univer? sity, and I have done. Tho tone of cer? tain newspapers in relation to this insti? tution is such as to cast ominous conjecture on its futuro success, by treat? ing its destruction as a foregone conclu? sion, if not an already accomplished faot. I submit that this is unjust, as well as ungenerous, not only to the Faculty of tho University, who have labored to preserve, though all tho fluc? tuations of fortuno and tides of revolu? tion, this monument of ouranoiout gran? deur, but it is unjust to tho Board of Trustees, who have not only done no? thing to jeopard its interests, but, on tho contrary, have shown a most discreet forbearance where action on their part might have compromised it, und mani? fested great liberality in the adoption of measures which promised an increase of its prosperity. If tho University fail of liberal sup? port, that failure must be imputed to tho want of patriotism of our people, and not to any hostility on the part of those to whom its welfare has been committed. T. A STBANGE INCIDENT OF THE LATE WAR BROUGHT TO LIGHT.-While our uewly appointed register of tho laud omeo hero -Mr. Maxwell, Colonol of the First Michigan Cavalry during the war-was engaged iu his office, a tall, military looking gentleman walked in, whom ho instantly recognized as Mr. Henry E. Leo, nephew of General Robert E. Lee, and Colonel of the First Virginia Ca? valry during the rebellion. Tho recog? nition was mutual, and called up bitter and painful reminiscences of ovents that occurred during the terrible coDfiict be? tween tho armies of the North and the Southern Confederacy. It appears that during the rebellion tho First Virginia and First Michigan Cavalry happened to bo arrayed each against tho other, and the fooling of ani? mosity between the two regiments was as bitter as that entertained towards each other by two single persous who ure deadly enemies. At the famous battle of Gettysburg the two regiments fought face to face, each learning to respect uud hate the other for blows giveu aud the courage displayed. Between Cols. Maxwell and Lee, the leaden, of the two regiments, tho hate entertaiued by tho respectivo members of each regiment seomed to concentrate, and when the contending armies wore eugaged on James River, the two colonels met face to face, and there swore to light it out in a personal conflict. Tho resolve was no sooner formed than executed, and a determined and deadly conflict imme? diately ensued, the two regiments for the timo being mero spectators. The result was that Maxwell received a sword thrust in the groin, and Lee had his shoulder disabled. Siuce that day up to yoatorday, we suppose that the two men have never met, and it may well be supposed the meeting was a strange ono, aud that sin? gular feelings were evoked on the occa? sion. They both bear tho ineffaceable marks of hard service. Col. Maxwell has lost one leg and has sustained other serious physical injuries, while tho left arm of Col. Lee is disabled by tho wound reoeived in his oonflict with Col. Max? well.-Deseret (Utah) News. A NOVEL PLAN TO KILL THE COTTON CATERPILLAR.-A correspondent of tho Savannah Republican, writing from Ma? dison, Fla., has tho followingcoucerning a newly discovered plan to destroy tho caterpillar on the cotton plant: "A photographist, by name ll. B. McCallum, I believe from Tennessee, experimented while hore upou his theo? ry of killing caterpillars. He, together with a few citizens, visited tho fields of S. M. McCoy, and Inglis aud Thomas, used his vapor with so much success that ho iutonds patenting his invention. "A strong solution of chemicals uro thrown upon the plant, killing tho cater? pillar immediately, with no injurious effects to the plant nor to tho laborers in tho fluid. Ho is willing, ho says, to in? hale the vapor himself for an hour." A boy at Lake Station, Miss., who was flying a largo kite, the cord of which he had imprudently wound about his body, was carried in a sudden gust about 100 feet into the air, and was leaving the earth at a rapid rate when a friendly tree interposed its branches, and he was res? cued in a somewhat bruised condition. ' ?"?.-. : RROOVEBT OF A LOST DI*??*1> Bnio> THBOUOH THE DBEAM OF A NJSOEO QIBX.. A few night? ago, a lady, while tating a Sleasure walk with her ? niant child alo Dg offeraon street, lost a valuable diamond ring from her finger in some unacoounta blo way. Dili ge ut and extensive search was made throughout the neighborhood, but without any dew to tho ring, and the lady gave it up as gone "for g<)od nnd all." Beforo day-light the following morning the lady was surprised by the culls of nek nurse, a small negro girl. On being admitted to her mistress, the girl, who had not heard of the ring being lost, said sho had just had a.dr?atn, in which she was apprised when, wbero and how the jewel had been lost, and that if allowed she felt sure she could find it. Sbe then described tho place and man? ner in which tho ring disappeared, and begged her mistress to go with her nud teat the dream. This strange circum? stance was made known to the house? hold, but nil treated it with tho utmost incredulity. It was afterward concluded to humor the girl, however, and sbe and several whito members of the fnini'y pro? ceeded to tho designated spot, mofe than 100 yards from tho house. Hero the dreamer told her mistress that, as direct? ed in her dream, sho must drop another ring, sud it would roll as a guido to tho missing one. A plain gold rifg was banded tho girl; sho let it fall, and sure enough it rolled aud stopped within two inches of tho lost diamond ring, which had got into a crevice between two bricks of the pavement. It may be ima? gined that the ring-hunters were some? what astounded at tho miracle. Thoy did not pause to inquire whether pr not the girl was influenced by the anticipat? ed eclipse, but sho obviously eclipsed all the little niggers they had seen. Her own astonishment was greater than that of all tho rest. Our informant avows that there is not the least fiction about this curious dream and its lucky result. [Lo u is v illa Co urier-joia'nal. The Susquehanna Railroad W?W has assumed most serious proportions.

A small trestle near tho tunnel has been renioyed, thus preventing tho passage of trains, and orders have been despatched from Binghamton to tho Fisk men to ??izo the road and destroy other trestles, if necessary. So imminent is the danger of a conflict, that Comptroller Alhm has telegraphed Governor Hoffman, repre? senting tho necessity of the interference of the strong arm of tho State. Col.

An English officer in tho lato expedi? tion against King Theodore was asked by a lady how ho enjoyed crossing tho Sa? hara on tho back of a camel. "I wi H tell you," tho captain answered, "in what manner you can produce exactly" the same sensations boro as if you had made a camel rido across the desert, and then you may judge for yourselves. Yoi* take a piano stool and screw it up as high as it will go; then you put the stool on a farmer's wagon and sit on top of it. In this condition you drive for twenty four hours over a nowly-oponed prairie in dog days, without drinking anything exoept half a pint of warm water before laying down in one of tho furrows at the end of your day's travel; then you will have a tolerably correct idea of the poeti? cal feelings created by a camel ride across tho Sahara." SAD ACCIDENT.-An inquest was held by J. A. Schr?ck, Magistrate, acting os Coroner, on Friday, the 6th inst, tfpon the body of Mr. 'joseph B.

AU t3 Extract from a letter from Santa Croix. ***** \ye j,a(j wandered for many hours through tangled forests or Tropical shrubs and trees, some of them emitting a most delicious and invigorat? ing odor, when we suddenly came upon a largo and well-cultivated plantation, in tho centro of which were several build? ings. Entering these, we found them to be the "press houses," stills, ?c., where tho sugar-cane is crushed for the manu? facture of St. Croix Rum. Over 100 coolies were at work, and the smell from the fermentiug vats was very exhilarating and pleasant. We were shown through tho entiro establishment, and learned that all the Ram here produced was shipped to Messrs. P. H. Drake Sc Co., New York, to be made into their cele? brated PLANTATION BITTERS. The pecu? liar good effects of this Ram-whioh is the purest and best in the world-are well known. Not a single oase of Dys? pepsia, Fever and Ague, Consumption, or any such disease can be found on this Island, (except of invalids, who come ero for their health, and they are almost always oured.) Combined with Calisaya Bark, Cascarilla, and other important ingredients, this Ram becomes PLANTA? TION BITTERS; and sorely no finer Tonic and general Family Remedy was ever seen. The combination of these Bitters was first discovered here many years ago, and all the Natives swear by PLAN? TATION BITTERS, and say "there is no? thing like it." Judging by the robust health of thc witnesses, I am certain their testimony is true. * * R. S. T. MAGNOLIA WATER.-Superior to the best imported German Cologne, and sold at half the price.
