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.

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.

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

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.

The Susquehanna Railroad W?W has
assumed most serious proportions. Pre?
sident Ramsey has a force of 1,000 men
at the tunnel at Bainbridge, while Admi?
ral Fisk has about the same number en?
camped a fow yards distant from tho
Ramsey force, each party determined to
retain possession of the road, eve? if it
bring about a conflict of arms. 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

senting tho necessity of the interference

An English officer in tho lato expedi?

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

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.
