COLUMBIA, S. C. -;-1-,-, Sunday Morning:, December 3,18S9J BarAlns ul Mcncy-Thc Potent Element* Vf Southern Ileenpurntf on. It is related of Archimedes, the great moohonioian, that he said-give me the ground whereon to place my lever and I will move the. world. In the same spirit it may. bo said by the Southern pa? triot--give me the brains and the money j and ? will redeem and restore the South as if by magio power. We mean this. Here at the South we have ail the ele? ments of strength-a people brave-heart? ed, spirited, full of indomitable pluck a climate genial, a soil teeming with mineral and agricultural wealth-water power without limit. We have, in fine, all ?? the niornontn that go tc make up natural wealth and natural power. What now ia needed to u tili zo these ad van tages, to give ns the fruits of the tree? We answer-intelligence directing the work of material development, and enthusiasm to carry it on, and energy to press it, and perseverance to go on pressing it. Let this be done. To our brain power, and our muscle power, let our money power j be ednoed, and the "poor South" will be the "poor South" no longer; and the j "oppressed South" will be lif tod up, and again the Southern man will stand with pride upon his native soil, and Bhare in the spirit of an elevated and elevating | , independence. One thing more. Let it not be forgot? ten that to the element intellectual, and ' the element material, must be added the yet nobler element-the element moral. Let it be ever borne in mind that right? eousness exalteth a nation, and that sin is a reproach to any people. Whilst, then, we seek, as a public journalist, to impel the car of material aud moral pro? gress, it ia due to ourselves to say, that rising above all other considerations, is the consideration ol the public virtue and the public morals. This element is the great preserver. It is the grand conserving principle. And that people who would purohaso wealth and power at the expense of public and private virtue, would obtain them at a sad and ever-to-be-regretted cost ? ? ? ? SOOIAXI STATIC OF FBANCE.-M. Provost ParadoL one of the keenest and most practical of the, publio men of France, has been delivering a lecture in Edin? burgh on the "Sooiul State of France." He particularly addressed himself to the task of showing how erroneous were the ideas that commonly prevailed outside of that country regarding the looseness of the conjugal relations, and the want of real affection in the family among the Frenoh people. He deolared that in no land were children loved by their pa? rents with greater tenderness than in France; that this parental affection was, indeed, oft-times excessive. He explain? ed how the families were generally small by crediting it to the fact that the French are remarkably prudent and thrifty, and habitually oxeroiso great forethought in regard to their pecuniary affairs, and accordingly limit the number of their ohildren to what they can with certainty provide a maintenance and inheritance for. With regard to the currently re? ported looseness of tho marriage tie in France, M. Pr?vost Paradol asserted that not a thousandth part of all that is said and written in that strain had any foundation in troth. Divorces are un? known, and the same clear-headedness and self-control which enable a French woman to contract a thrifty marriage, coable her to make the best of whatever lot afterwards may befall her. -?-??-> WHY CUBANS AUE TN REBELLION.-The Cuban Junta have lately completed a list of statistics, by which they show that the section of Cuba under the dominion of the repnblic, covers 23,895 square miles, has a population of 522,598, with 656 sugar plantations, 220 coffee planta? tions, and 2,747 plantations of tobacco. The party yet under tho dominion of Spain is computed to contain 11,862 square miles; 571,396 inhabitants; 759 sugar plantations, 153 of which have been con?seated and 160 destroyed; 776 coffeo plantations, and 9,475 tobacco planta? tions. Among the latter population aro comprehended 271,571 slaves, and 3,308 emancipated negroes. The colored in? habitants of tho republic number 208, 608, all being free. The isthmus connecting North und South America, it is assorted, caa be canalled without any greater difficulty than the Isthmua of Suez, which is seventy-two miles in width. The Isthmus of Panama is only twenty-eight milos wide, and the Nicaragua route up the River San Juan would only require the construction of a oanal sixteen miles long, tho remainder of tho ronte being, by way of Lako Nicaragua, ninety miles long, and the River San Juan. The Tehuantepeo route, 130 miles across, from sea to sea, it is asserted, lies throughout ulong the Coatzacoulcos ivor. A^negro boy stole a doll in Petersburg, Va., the other d .y, aud whilo protosting his innocence, unwittingly pressed it as he endeavored to hide it more completely under bis.shirt. The doll gave a loud squeak, and the little negro, who had never beard of crying dolls before, turn? ed almost whito and thought a miracle had been dono in his case. Mt* or Janucry-Tho Birthday of Ro? bert U wrns. Thia memorable epoch io the world's Uteretare will soon be hero-tho day whiohgave to all time her greatest genius poot, Borne. ' Befitting it is, that tho poet's conntrymon and admirers should ever keep it in remembrance; but the question is, how to do this most appro? priately and appreciatively. We all know that, in men generally, bnt in poets espe? cially, there aro two natures constantly warring against eaeh other-the human and tho divine. Clay and gold enter largely into the composition of any hu? man idol wo may set up. Toe Scottish bard formed no exception to this mixture of earth's mould with the Promethean fire of Heaven in the same individual, illustrating the fact, indeed, more strik? ingly than any one within our cogni? zance Before taking one of his Empy? rean flights, how often was he impeded by the earth-clods upon his wings, and though "Tho light that lcd astray Was light from Heaven," still, that it led astray, only proves that even the first glorious gift of the Creator -light-may be used to dishonor Clod and.ruin man. At times, though, might have been applied to him, the text, "If the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness." Yet, at others, how gloriously shone, reflected from all his words and aotions, the light of truth, more glorious than the mid-day sun 1 Then, was he, all his Maker meant him to be, gifted, puro and good. It is this, the poet's true best nature, that should be commemorated-but how? Not by the maddening wine-cup, the mid-night orgies; not by any of those things which unmanned the man, and deteriorated the poet, whioh ministered to the earthly and low of his nature, and hurried him to au untimely grave before his genius had plumed herself, perchance, for her high? est flights. No, we should not thus dese? crate the memory of our poet, as linking it by association, with that whioh caused the gloomy shadow over his otherwise unclouded way, and sullied the other? wise unspotted plumage of the swan of Ayr. Our commemoration of him should be of such kind only as to give us again tho poet, true to the best and highest instincts of the man-the poet so full of meroy that he would not crush the field-daisy, or frighten any ''wee bit timorous beastie;" so replete with com? passion, that to the lowest speoimon of our fallen humanity he would cheeringly say, "A man's a man, for a' that." Yes, all this let us oommemorate, by holding out the hand of encouragement to some struggling child of want, like himself, and the money spent for that which de? grades men and breaks women's hearts, let it bo given to educate some poor boy, who may yet be the Burns of America. What say my countrymen to the appeal I of CALEDONIA? "Oh! what an excellent Tonio," is the language of the invalid who uses SOLO? MONS' BITTERS.

The present Khedive i the grandson of Meheraet Ali, nndwas born November 26,1816. Two men, Bennett and May, suitors for the hand of the same woman, in Richboro, Pennsylvania, engaged in a fight, when May, who was the weakest, feigned intoxication, and appealed suc? cessfully to his antagonist to desist.

Or it is some luxury for the table that you can do ns well without. Think, therefore, before you spend your money. Or need a now carpet, new couch, new chairs or new dress; you are tempted to buy something a little handsomer than you had at first intoeded* and, while you hesitate, the dealer Bays to you: "Tis only a trifle more, and see how far pret? tier it is!" But, before you purchase, stop to think. Will you be better a year heneo, especially in old age, for having squandered your money? Is it not wiser to lay by something for a rainy day? All these luxuries will only gratify you for the moment. You soon tire of them, and their own permanent effect is to con? sume your menus. It is by such little extravagances-not much separately, but ruinous in the aggregate-that the great majority of families are kept compara? tively poor. The first leeson to learn is to deny yourself useless expenses, and the first step toward learning this lesson I is to think before you spend.
