In thia country there-appears "a dispo? sition, both ju tho North and the South, on the part of ?ha yon og, to abandon tho ccastry sad tc fi eek tc tho cities. It is Tery generally;:^)^^',tibjfVto?B':-if' a mistake. TheliabifcyriMW<U.,iloubtlftas, from the ia^reattaar-^ha^arsjtji-opona a aborter road to wealtfi tb?an~t t ?' co n ntry.

AudTeven wlroYe tuen in mercantile life appear to be getting on prosperously, it is often appearances that deceive, and soon the bubble bursts, and some unfortunate mau fulls beneath the "weight, ot hi* broken credit. So, too, with the young clerk. Tho country youth imagines that the well-dressed and stylish young mau behind the counter must certainly get a fine salary, and have a good timo generally. Bnt hero, too, a mistake is not unfreqdently made. When his boar?) and lodgings, bis expensive cl o thea, and other expenses, necessary and uaneqessary, 'aria met, 'seldom' ' ia lt, we prosame, tust the young clerk has a cash balsaoe at the .end of tu? ye=r. Wo haye a word, -therefore to say in bc half .pi.^he "pol?oy of our young men adhering io agricultural and mechanical puraoits. all times this polioy is wise. At this period, in tho South, it is a nc cewity-au ?ssbntial stop ip the lino of Southern regeneration. - In the first place, let it be understood, that no young ntan should regard it beneath his dignity to.embrace the line of action we have suggested. Of course, the liberal pro? fessions should be sustained. Of course, there must be workers in the mercantile department. But, let it bo understood, that it is not lees honorable to be farmer? and mechanics. The question of honoi belongs, not so muob upon what ono't occupation is, as upon how one stands ic his occupation. The point is, how doe* the man do his work. If a man's worli is honorable, and he does it well-if he achieves success in it, he is doing well. To be an independent farmer, or to be c skillful and thrifty mechanic, may wei oom mond the efforts of onr young men. There are many who, aspiring to bc more, haye ended in being less. VIRGINIA LOSING HKB BLACK POPULA TION.-There can be little donbt that thc cotton, rice, and sugar fields of the South ern States will gradually draw off fron Virginia a large portion of her blaol population. This movement has already commenced on quite a large scale. Th? fact that Virginia has passed from un.de negro domination, while the groa strength of thai race is in the cottoi States, will help to swell the volume o this exodus. So that year after year, w< mar expect to see . the negro populatioi of virginia perceptibly diminish. If thi removal of tue negroes Southward shal goon, the time will come, and is not fa distant, when Virginia will be brought ti a stand-still for want of labor, unies meanwhile we can draw white settler here, who will buy our lands and brinj their own labor with them. The pros peet is, that before many years shall nav passed away, Virginia will present a] most au unmixed white population, am will resemble her Northern neighbors If she oso avoid the shook of a suddei and abrupt loss of her labor, make be white accessions offset ber black losses and thus pass gradually through the in evitable change, it may be all the bette for her.-Richmond Whig. The Chicago Tribune, strongly radica ss it is, thus deals with one of the wickc men of tbe lat? war: "The Rev. Thoma Wentworth Higginson, who acquired nc toriety during tue war as the colonel of thieving and murderous gang of negroes who, under the orders of Higginson were guilty of inhumanities which It dians on tue war-path would hesitate t commit, bas written a book called 'Arm Life Among the Blacks.' Inasmuch c Higginson was accused of appropriatiu to himself the share of the plunder c bis gang, and bis general conduct ampi warranted the suspioiou that bis piet and bis pocket were inseparable compi nions, none but those afflicted with 'nif ger on the brain' will suppose that Hi{ giuson tells tho truth in bis nsrrativi He has drawn ou his imagination for hi facts, and mixed them up with drivel an .cant io such a way as to make a nausea ing mess. Two or tbreo clerical scou: drels, who made themselves couspicuot in the late war, bave been unmasked an their true cbaractor brought to light, bi it may well be donbtod if among tbei all there was a meaner and more erm wretch than Higginson."

The dental ? profession ls rapidly advancing.

Then it behooves every good member of the profession to bestir himself; to shake off .''Old Fogy isms;" to como prepared to examine and receive new truths, and to abandon orrodeous opinions, whon convinced of their fallacy. Let the den? tists of this State be up and doing, for "to sleep ia to die." THOMAS T. MOORE, D. D. S. COLUMBIA, November 3, 1869. -(. THE OKLEANIHTS.-It has been men? tioned thnt, in the' late political agita? tions in Paris, the, Orleanists showed some activity. It can hardly be sup? posed, from tho small favor shown to that party in the lato French elections, that they are likely to exert muah influ? ence in Frunce, except as they may com? bine with other factions for the overthrow of the imperial dynasty.. The house of Orleans never had much hold on public consideration in France. Louis Philippe was au exemplary man in his personal character and domestio and social rela? tions, but his accession to the throne was the work of a clique of politicians, and not in any sense of the people, and, though he was prudent and conciliatory in the exercise of power, there was no? thing in his antecedents or character to awaken popular enthusiasm. His throne stood upon Frenoh soil, but took no root in it, and when the gust of revolution came, it foll without any capacity of re? sistance. There is no prestige in his name to awaken the impulses of French? men in behalf of the restoration of his dynasty. Hitherto, his eons have made no effort and indicated no purpose of as? serting their pretensions to the French throne. They have been living quietly in other countries for many years, and mast now be too old to be easily induced to embark iu doubtful and desperate en? terprises. Those of the family who still survive in England and elsewhere, have commanded universal respect in tho lauds of their exile by the purity and unobtru? siveness of their lives, as well as by their refinement and intelligence. It cannot fail to have been remarked that while Napoleon, when an exile, made repeated ; attempts to dispossess Louis Philippe of the French throne, none of Louis Phi? lippe's descendants have ever made simi? lar attempts against the Frenoh Empe? ror. In this connection, it is not credi? table to the Emperor of the Frenoh that while extending amnesty to almost all his political enemies, be has not embraced the house of Orleans in his executive cle? mency. It can BCAroely be doubted, from their deportment in exile, that they might have been permitted to return to France without dangor to any public in? terest. Tho oct would ha>o been grate? ful os well os graceful, for Louis Nap ol ii on must remember how muoh he was him? self indebted to the domeney of Louis Philippe, when ho had exposed himself by plottings against his Government to extreme punishment.-Ballimore Sun. FEARFUL "WOIUC.-Lnte on Monday af? ternoon last, shortly after the hands had delivered and stored their day's picking, the gin house of John Rainuford, Esq., at his "Burt Place," was discovered to be on fire. It was totally consumed, and with it sixty bales of cotton. On the same evening, a few hours later, however, the gin house of Mr. Charlie Mathis, living a mile below the "Pine House," was also discovered to be burning. It was destroyed, with sixteen bales of cotton. Wednesday night, 27th ult., tho gin house of Mrs. Gregory, near Riobard Bonville, was destroyed by fire, with a i loss of five bales of cotton.

So TtAupmann, tho assassin, killed father, mother and six children, thereby fairly exterminatiug an entire family. As ho was instigated to commit this crime through admiration of the Wandering Jew, his meeting with Eo? gene Sac in the other world will bo something worthy of high spiritual re? search. Tho Licking County (Ohio) infirmary was destroyed by tiro on the 30th ult. One of tho bnildings was occupied by tho insano patients, and when tho fire was discovered iE was too lute to rescue ; them, ou account of their having been ! locked up in their rooms, and they all perished in tho fiamos.

Two of tho ne? groes havo been put to death, and a third has fled, a large reward being offered for his apprehension. Solomons' Bitters, an Autidote to Ma? laria, prepared by A. A.

McMMAHON, City Clerk. - Apropos of Madame Ratazzi's visit to the Pantin murderer in his cell, the story is told of her dinner with the Governor of the hulks at Toulou, where the carver had been convicted of assassination, the servant who drew np the carte was a forger, the valet who changed tho plate? and pnt a match to the plum-pudding was guilty of arson, und the bntler who helped the wine had been a poisoner.

CHASE OF BONDS.-The Secretary of the Treasury has directed the Assistant Treasurer at New York to give public notice that the sale of gold and the pur? chase of bonds will continue without chango during the month of November.

He was killed by a negro in his employ for the proceeds of two bogs of cotton, which Watson had that day sold. The assassin has been arrested.
