When connected with purposes of self-aggran? dizement^ wheo employed to deceive the fe wee II that the few may flourish; when iV gires tn the arte of the dema? gogue foil 'scope; when it furnishes an arena for time-serving office-seekers, no one can have for it a more anpreme con tempt than o areal voa. In this sonso it can enlist the sympathies and energies of no good citizen and of no genuine man, loyal to what ia truthful, high and asofol. Bat taken in its true sonso, viz: the moans -whereby, the good of the State or the country ia subserved whereby the public sentiment and the pnblio action are first embodied and then rightly propelled, no public-spirited Ditizen can fail to see that the dnty de? volves upon him to take bia part in poli? tics, to the end that good government may be attained and that virtuous and intelligent influences may prevail. We are aware of the fact that on the part of many good persons there now exists great apathy ns repects their political dnty. This apathy, wo admit, is not un? natural. Snob excesses have been com? mitted-the political arena has been so disturbed and invaded, that sensitive men have been disposed to shrink from the rough, collusions of the hour. But we submit that the duty before us is clear. It is due to our families, to ourselves, to our mother State, to the living and the dead, that we give not up the field in South Carolina to those un? fitted to bear the standard of the State. To the native youth and the manhood of South Carolina, especially do we address ourselves. There is nc casse for de? spondency. A Waterloo in the past may be redeemed by an Ansterlitz iu thc future. Politics now in South Carolina, and the South at large, means political re? form and industrial activity. Industrial aotivity means work by all able to work; and political reform moans the honest combination of all good citizens for honest ends. To turn away from tho political conflicts of the day may bo ex? cusable in the old, but in tho young and vigorous it is nttorly indefensible. For the men of South Carolina thus to abandon the political work before thom, would be a grave dereliction of duty, and we feel assured that no such record will be laid up agaiust them. A Virginia cotemporary has said that "our great need is hopeful, earnest, working men, with their backs to the past aud their fronts to the future." Lot us in South Carolina see to it that wc furnish our quota to this irresistible corps-thc youug guardsmen of the country-who, in the civil conflicts of tho day, expect, with tho favor of God, neither to sur? render nor to die. -1--.-??-? Ainu lorin? Cre?an Exiles. COLUMBIA, February 7, 1870. Tho Rev. Arthur Bogdan desires mo to acknowledge whathe thinks a "prince? ly liberality" in the good people of Co? lumbia towards the wretched Cretans. In this kind estimate, he makes a gener? ous allowance for our own poverty. The morning collection amounted to $71.18, and the eveuiug collection to something over 863. At Mr. B.'a request, the writer care? fully examined a large amount of testi? mony, consisting of hundreds of letters from distinguished men, official papers, and extracta from newspapers, which places bin authority and fairness beyond all question. Scores of receipts were exhibited from D. N. Botas.?i, Esq., Greek Consul General, Now York city, and from the Executive Committee of Relief for tho Crotans, to show how faithfully, aud in tho most business-like way, he forwards all contributions. It might bo an excellent thing for our Ladies' Association to ask him to repeat his gratuitous lectures, which realized, it is said, about $180 for tho poor of Charles Ion. Very respectfully, WM. E. BOGGS, Pastor Presbyterian Church. -? ? ? i Tho fifteenth amendment is meeting with opposition from au unexpected piartor. Senator Saulsbnry, of Dela? ware, yesterday astonished his colleagues by presenting a memorial praying for such legislation as will socure tho Qo verumcnt of tho United States to tho white race. This extraordinary petition is interspersed with quotations from the j older Adams, Jefferson and Lincoln. DISTRESSING: ACCIDENT.-Wo uro pained to chronicle a truly distressing casualty. On last Friday, Mrs. Hasel, au old and estimable lady on Wacoamaw, while on her return from a visit to her neighbors, was instantly killed by the accidental discharge of a gun whieh hod been placed in tho buggy by tho gcutlcmau who j accompanied her. Tho accident was ! caused by the horses taking fright, and the reins becoming entangled in the trigger of tho gun, while her son, Dr. Hose), was endeavoring to control them. j Georgetown Times.

THE LATE BATTLE IN Cr BA.-The ac? counts which have reached us by mail of the battle of Guaimaro, Cuba, between thc Spanish troops, under Puello, and tho insurgonts.under General Jordan and Colonel Beouvilliers, seem to leave no doubt of the disastrous defeat of Puello, and the fact that this was one of tho most important engagements of the war. General Puello left tho line of the Nue vitas aud Puerto Principe Railroad on Christmas day, with 2,500 picked Spa? nish troops, six pieces of artillery, and provisions amply sufficient for eight or ten days. His destination was Cascorro and Guaimaro, tho Cuban capital, as in? dicated in a proclamation of bis, issued a few days before, and in which he also boasted that, sword in hand, ho would seek, find and destroy the enemy; that he would show no quarters. He made his attack, says a correspondent, upon tho insurgents, who wero entrenched be- i fore Guaimaro, January 1st, and after three repulses, was forced to retreat, closely followed by the Cubans, to Arroyo Hondo, where ho was besieged and ha? rassed for fifteen days. On tho 17th of January ho cut his way through, and after five days' difficult marching and continual fighting, reached thc small sea? port of Bago, on the North coast, a few leagues East of Nuovitas, minus artillery and muoh other property, where Spanish vessels carno at his bidding, and removed him and the remuant of his army to Nuevitas. Tho Spanish losses were, it it is stated, 400 killed and 80J wounded. The Cuban loss is variously estimated at from COO to 1,000. Geuerul Logan, a special friend in arms of both Generals Grant and Sher? man, and a fair representative of the sentiment of tho country, is the author of the latest resolution in favor of Cuban recognition.

BOHDH.-Io the finan? cial artiefe of the New York World, of tho Ma inst., we find the following: Ta the new SbutftcTtofltttiaVrflhere ft large business trfftsaotel ontafae of fine Stock Exchange.'and $300,000 bonds were bought by some banks an? savings banks at 86 to 87. These purchases aro bated on the introduction of a bill into the Stato Senate, which promises to be? come a law, which will tend to materially enhance the credit of the State of South Carolina. This bill creates a commis? sion, designated as the Sinking Fund Commission, and authorizes the same to sell the publie lands and other property of the State, inoluding $2,000,000 to $3, 000,000 of railroad and other securities belonging to the Treasury, and to em? ploy thc proceeds of all this property to the purchase ard retirement of the Stale debt, on the principle of Secretary Bout well's'sinking-fund operations for tho General Government. It is estimated that this measure would place at the dis? posal of the commission at least $2,000, 000 during the present year for the ex? tinguishment of the debt of the State. If this bill becomes a law, the credit of the State of South Carolina would pro? bably take equal rank with that of Cali fornia and Massachusetts, tho only two States which have persistently paid their interest in gold, and whoso bouda muk high both herc and in Europe, aud sell at and above par in gold. THE FRANKING PRIVILEGE. - It is now feared that if tho sweeping law for the i abolition of dead-head postage is passed, ' much inconveuienco will result-first to j j the Government itself, and next 'to? ? country newspapers. We hope, never-1 thelcss, that Congress will not hesitate. 1 It is not for the Government to go into j tho newspaper business and support a ' valetudinarian press by thc quasi subsidy of free postage. If there arc many I papers that cannot outlive the require ? meut of paying their postage, let us < have the luxury of shedding a few pious tears to their memory. As to the Go? vernment, it is said that if fraukiug were done away with, Government business would be entirely suspended for a time. Well, maybe that would not quite ruiu the country. Lot it bo tried. [New York H 'lm'd. A FIENDISH PLOT FRUSTRATED.-A most fiendish plot to destroy tho Color? ed Orphans' Homo, on Washington j Heights, was discovered a few days ago, and a special polico oflicer was detailed j from tho police precinct there to watch 1 the premises. A night or two ago, he ! discovered a largo bomb-shell, heavily I charged with gun-powder, laid on tho I range. Ile promptly removed it. aud I thereby no doubt saved thc lives 800 or .100 inmates of tho institution. [Ac'w York Times. ARMS TO BE TAKEN AWAY.-It is said that Gen. Johu B. Dennis has been or I dered by the Governor to proceed to Tutt and Wilson's precinct, on Four Milo .Branch, Upper Three Huns, Barnwell , County, to take charge of ninety-six I stands of arms in the possession of W. i Newmos, who is considered an improper j person. It is understood that this bas ! been dono at tho urgent solicitation of j the inhabitants. A fire at Lowan da, Pa., on Saturday night, destroyed property valued at $250,000, including tho rooms of tho Cbristiau Association, the New York aud Philadelphia Railroad Office, Powell & Co.'s dry goods house, E. J. Campbell's boot and shoo store, Tracy & Moore's dry goods house, Coading, Russel Ar Co., agricultural implements, and many ?mall stores. HIGH LIFE.-We clip tho following from the New York 'limes: "Mrs. Re? vels, the wife of the colored Senator elect from Mississippi, was in the Sonate gallery to-day, while her husband occu? pied a seat on one of the sofas of tho floor. Messrs. Sumner and Tipton pro? ceeded to the gallery and were intro? duced to Mrs. Revels by George T. Downing, the oysterman." THE HAYTIEN MD?ISTER.-General Folsom, tho new Haytien Minister, who comes as the accredited representative of Nessage Saget's administration, arrived at Washiugton Tuesday morning, pre? sented his credentials to the State De? partment, and was formally presented to tho President yesterday by Secretary Fish. THE WINNIPEG REVOLUTION.-De? spatches received yesterday from St. Paul report a startling ohange in tho situation in Winnipeg. It is stated that tho Hudson Bay Company has resumed governmental control, and arrested Riell, who, it is said, has excited considerable dissatisfaction among the half-breeds by 1 his inactivity. I Tho building at Williamston. on the I Greenville and Columbia Railroad, known j as tho Williamston Hotel, wos sold, last Monday, by W. T. Shumato aud A. Blythe, assignees of J. W. Grady, for tho sum of S2,5'25, and was purchased by a company of gentlemen from Greenville. Mr. Lanier, a well-known hotel-koeper, died, last; week, in Montgomery, Ala? bama. Ho was onco proprietor of tho Lufargo House, Now York. Ho was also for many years a resident of Macou, Georgia, and kept there tho well-known "Lanier House." TUE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT COMPLETE. I Tho Georgia Legiislature has ratified the I fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. This completes tho list of States neces? sary to make the fifteenth amendment a part of tho Constitution. It is roportcd that a Spanish editor o? New York, who fought a duel near Niagara Falls, last summer, with a Cu? ban, had asimilar meeting with thc same person, in the same locality, a few days ago, and the Cuban was instantly killed. Eighty-five persona are down in Now York with the recently imported disease called relapsing fever. It is contagious and epidemic, and resembles tho famine fever which prevailed some years ago io Ireland. Esooal Item? ST. VALENTINE.-Messrs. Bryan & Mc Oarter have presented ns with several comio as well at sentiment?? and very tatty Valentinen-a reminder that the natal day of the patron saint of ali true lovers is rapidly approaching. Their as? sortment is worth inspecting, as it is ex? tensive and embraces all styles and prices. Everybody accuses everybody around the Legislature of being bought, or of being interested in some schemo before that assembly. In over 100 forms have these charges been made, vouched for, aud .investigations demanded. The talk is as current of tho value of votes as of the price of cottou. There are brokers, ring-masters, managers, and lobby schemers, who are regularly ougaged in "putting bills through," iu arranging with this or that member for his vote, and in securing tho final passagoof bills. No measure which is not paid for and managed by some of the regular pro? fession of lobbyists, how important soever it may be, receives the slightest atteutiou. All such aro ignored. They remain dcud and buried in committee or on tue clerk's table. It is the billa which pay that excite interest and enlist zeal and active effort to rush them through. Di.scorn.in OF RKV. AHTHUK BOOOAK, AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.-After having preached to the Methodist and Baptist congregations, during thc morn? ing aud afternoon ot' tho Sabbath, Mr. Bogdan made bis appearance in thc pul? pit of the Presbyterian Ch arch iu the evening. More than usual interest was manifested, from the fact of his hearers of the day being charmed with his ora? tory, and not only coming themselves to hoar him again, but inducing others, by their descriptions, to do likewise. Mr. Bog?s, tho pastor, iu a graceful manner, introduced Mr. Bogdan to his congregation, and invoked their aid towards the object of his presence among them. If Bather above thc medium height, well developed, with a massive chest, broad shoulders, and a large, well-poised hoad, with ampio forehead, Mr. Bogdan's per? sonal appearance alone would secure for him tho attention of any audience. The speaker stated his mission, aud dilated at great length and with much earnestness thereon. His field of opera? tions, he said, had beeu the Danubian province of Servia, iu European Turkey, and his special mission was to seek Christian assistance for Christian Crete. He detailed how, in 182*2, the Cretans commenced their struggle for independ? ence, and, after gaining it, wero thrust back under Moslem sway, to preserve the balance of power among European na? tions-and this, too, by the sanction and aid of countries claiming to be enlight? ened and Christian. He told how, in Turkoy, 9,500,000 Christians were go? verned and brutally oppressed by .1,500,000 Turks, by the sume cognizance and for tho same reason. He spoke of the shocking atrocities practiced by the Turks to wards the Christians-how whole families were extermiuated, and in the most barbarous manner, when detected in their devotions. He gave au account of the siege of the Arcadian Monastery, and how MuBtapha Pacha, unable to force the monks to capitulate, mined the monastery, and slaughtered, by the ex? plosion, 100 Greek monks and 900 Crotan women and children who had obtained shelter there. He narrated many other instances of tho sufferings of the people for whom he sought assistance, and asked not only financial succor in their behalf, but that of earnest Cbristian prayer, which he believed would, ultimately, be of moro avail. Mr. Bogdan's delivery is good, but bia accent foreign. His mode of expression is imprcssivo and full of illustrations, and his earnestness iu his cause is so apparent that to hear was to believe. After the discourse, a collection was taken up, and tho amount contributed must have been largo, judging from tho many outstretched charitable hands. The Hov. Dr. Reynolds, of tho Baptist Church, assistod iu the services, and tho choir rendered, very effectively, the grand old "Coronation" hymn and "Greenland's Icy Mountains," appropri? ate to the occasion. Historical as well as religious instruction was giveu, and wo doubt not that many went away wiser if not better than before. Messrs. D. C. PeixottoA Son disposed of several valuable tracts of land and other desirable property, yesterday, and thc following prices wero realized: Tho half-acre lot, with two-story dwell* ling and all necessary out-buildings, on Richland street, near Marion, 63,300; lot on Sumter street, near Lady, 71 by 208 feet, 8640; lot, with tho buildings thoroon, North-west corner Lady and Gadsden stroets, $1,250. ( This property is known as the "Agricultural Ware? house," and was sold a bargain.] Moles and horses brought from $160 to $190. O?UKBS. -The ladies will find a choice H lection of flower seeds, plants, etc., in the store on Plain street, formerly occu? pied by Mr. Flanigan. Mr. Bonna is s florist by profession. A timber train over the South Carolina Railroad ran off the track, yesterday afternoon, at the junction of the Char* lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad. Per consequence, the down express and up freight trains were detained. The road will doubtless bo clear this morning. Good Words, one of the most popular of the new English magazines, ia rapidly growing in favor in this country. The February number has been received from the American publishers, J. B. Lippin oott&Co., Philadelphia. Its contents embrace Novol Tales, Sketches of Travel, Papers on Science and Arts, Poems, Es? says, kc. Its illustrations are good. Sample copies will be seut upon applica? tion to the publishers. A provident and yet improvident man -the baker; he kneads much, but sells everything he kneads himself. Complaints of the dullness of business are almost always in order, but when a Connecticut man grumbles because of the dullness in the business of manufac? turing coffin trimmings, he runs the thing into tho ground. THE BURDETT COMRLNATION OROAN. We had the pleasure of hearing this beautiful instrumont to its fullest capa? city, both as regards power and the sweet? ness of its tones and variety of combina? tion. To say that it is the best reed instrument wo have ever seen, does not do justice to it. It is a marvel in the way of organs. Thc absence of the reedy tone generally to bc found in organs of the kind, the exquisite voicing, the re? markable imitating power and facility of control, (the transition from the fullest tone to thc softest being instantaneous,) are points worthy of remark, and to be found in no other instrument. Amongst the stops that struck us as being the most beautiful, are, "La Perfeotione," "Cello" and "Celeste," which by careful combination, are .susceptible of almost endless variation and perfect imitation of most of the popular musical instru? ments. L D. Childs, Esq., of our city, is tho fortunate purchaser of the instru? ment the Messrs. Tremaine and Pierson used in their entertainments, and we congratulate him on the possession of tho means of so much social enjoyment and musical gratification. Wo are happy to iuform our readers that an agency for the sale of theso organs has been estab? lished in our city in tho person of Prof. Wm. H. LyBrand, tho popular leader of the equally popular 8th Infantry Band. HOTEL ARRIVALS, February 7.-Co? lumbia Hotel.-L. C. Inglis, Baltimore; J. B. Ezell, J. B.
