/ COLUMPIA, S. C. Saturday Morning, April jkjgWj^ TJio Phoonli. A correspondent >of the Marion ?Sitar, signing himself "Popinack," says: In toe. days ot'Egypt's power and grandeur, when her wealth, magnificence and learning, madnyber the glory ot tho world, the garden spot of the earth; when her verdant valleys, watered by her sev?n rivers, gleamed forth, emerald hoed from the brown Nubian sands, pre? senting a beautiful and changing pano? rama of ~f Q?rdens and pillared; streets, and porphyry domes, . . And high built temple, flt to be the homes Of mighty gods; and pyramids, whose hour Outlasts airtime; When the youth of all nations eagerly sought shrines to quaff from ber full cup, the wine of knowledge; numerous aud profound were the mysteries taught by powerful and subtle, priesthood. Superficial inquirers bare supposed that the religion of this ancient kingdom was of the grossest character, being a species of idolatry, having for its objects various animals; such as the ox, the dog, the serpent, the beetle, the frog. But though the common people paid adora? tion to these, they were rogarded by the educated upper classes only as symbols of the Attributes of thoir deities. Against these gross external objects of worship, the Almighty, by the instrumentality of Moses, directed tho ten plagues, each of which was calculated to destroy Borne one of the superstitions of Egypt. Amoug the many legends of a figurative charac? ter, with which their sacred books abound, none is more striking tbau the fable of the Phoenix. According to it, there was but one Pheonix in thu whole world, and nt the season of the vernal equinox, this beautiful solo representa? tive of its species, came flying from the East, Westward to Ou, the great city of tho sun, where was the superb templo of Osiris, on the apex of whose summit was a glistening golden image of tho sun, the tutelar god of the city. Having reoohed this blazing image or shield of gold, the Pheonix lighted thereon, and was consumed in the fiery radiance. In? stantly, an egg appeared in the funeral {>yre, which was presently warmed into ife by the heat, wbiob bas destroyed its parent. The new bird, then spreading its bright wings, flew away, to return no more for G51 years. Beneath this poetic legend is hidien an actual astronomical troth; as under the names of Apis and Mnevis, the priests of that ancient land typified the irresistible omnipotence of their presiding deity, Osiris; and under, numberless symbols, taught a pantheistic roligion, wholly different from the poly? theism of the Greeks and Homans. The Phoenix is the emblem of thc planet Mercury, ns Osiris is of the Suu and its consuming itself on the fiery shield typifies the transit of Mercury across tho disc of the sun, during whiut the planet appears to be swallowed up, being lost in the superior glory of tin sun, after emerging from which it ii again visible-an event which OCCUR onco in 651 years. The course of tin planet is from East to West, as that 01 the Phoenix was said to be; and as th? devoted bird was attended by a glittering train, so the planet in tli3 approach o: the Sun is accompanied by many small scintillating stars. This fabio of tia Phoenix hus been recalled to our memory (vague as the connection may seem.) bj the uccouuts that have re.icbed us of tin recent disastrous fire in our dear, nativi village. Many of our frieuds there ur? probably now in u situation similar, per haps worse, thau numbers of Southern era at the conclusion of the lato war "Burned out of house aud home," ii want of all thing;, business brought ti a sudden and terrible staud-utiil; tin very tools of tbe workman wrested fron him by the devouring fla mes. What sha! be doue iu this extremity? Who sba] advise tho snfferers by this calamity' We know the character of our town's people; wo know their charity to th destitute, their tenderness for th afflicted. In tho night of sorrow the; give tear for tear; as they also rejoic' with those that do rejoice. Those o our people, therefore, upon whom thi calamity has fallen most heavily, checrei by such sympathy, will not give way t despair. Tho harp shall not bc tuite from the willow; tho desolate shall ye bo made glad. Wo roiuember how, after tho "cap ture," sack and destruction of our bean tifal capital, Columbia, iu tho spring t 18G5, there was brought to Marion thrilling account of tho whole, in a tin bit of a newspaper, about a third ii largo as oue of our present locals. ] was called the PflCBXIxl It had rise: from the ashes of that most brilliau spicy, war journal, tho Curoliniai through tho cuterpriso of its uble au indefatigable editor, Julian A. Selby who wus "burned out'' in the great coi fldgratiou. We believe the PIIOJNIX, precious soi venir of our lost cause, still flourishc in well-developed proportions. The morale is encouraging, and \\ hope will not be lost ou tho ouergeti and public-spirited citizens of Murioi Our village bears a name, identified wit the history of the old revolution, dean to tho heart of tho Carolinian, if poss bio, than even than that of Washingtot Our General Marion yielded in disiut rested patriotism aud dauntless valor I no mau; and the records of the late wi show that his spirit hus not ceased I animate our noble youth. Tho situation of Marion is pleasant in? d?sirable; and under tho uew im pott that now animates tho whole South, : her determined purposo to wiu back, L hard labor, tho wealth of which she lu been deprived, so that, (holding the gol eu trident,) she may rule, where ber i tolledua! and moral status entitles ber rulo, our people, wo hope and believ will rouse to new and vigorous exertion rebuild on tho ashes of their form hom?s, and atore than restore tho former beanty and symmetry of onr village. While tbeae restoration* and improve? ments are being made, trist that that other ?tnr in tho litornry horizon of MarioD, will riso again in plentitude of brightness, that too Crescent will resume its nhining. and with its compeer, make excelsior (the futuro watch-word of the South) its motto; both pressing, in noble rivalry, towards the goal of per* feotion. Bx THE UIVER, March 19, 1870. Correspondence ot tlio Puce nix. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 6, 1870. The Military Committee, of which Gen. Logan was Chairman, and which bas closed its labors on tho cadetship business, has just, as was anticipated, "white-washed" the matter in moat ela? borate style. "Whittemora and Deweese, of the Houso, together with Commander Upsher, of tho Navy, and Gen. Scheoff, of the Patent Office, were tho principal sufferers. It is stated that tho books of the Adjutant-General's Office shows 45 cases at West Point and 30 at Annnpolis, io which tho parents resido out of the District from which the cadots were ap? pointed. Whilo Logan recommended Gen. Scheoff for removal, against whom there was no evidence of bribery, ho hos soreaned his own friends in oflice, who admitted, by thoir own lips that they had received and appropriated money which was paid for appointments. The Indian question is still widening and deepening in interest. A bill has been introduced which will soon bo be? fore tho public, which proposes a radical and permanent euro of this chronic dis? temper. This bill was prepared under tho supervision of a Western man, of long experience aud strong good practi? cal sause, and it is said, will be support? ed by Butler, Lawrance, Logan aud other prominent members of Congress. This bill provides niuo Commissioners, who are to have charge of the whole work and remain in office ten years; three of these aro to bo Indians. It makes two grand,' divisions of tho work, and proposes gradually to draw all the In? dians into a lesa space and instruct them first of all in pastoral pursuits; it also proposes tho speedy disuse of all the mi? litary, of coarse, the abandonment of the military posts. This will put $25,000,000 into the Treasury from the sale of tho offal. Then it proposes for oue-quartcr tho present cost, to support the Indiums until they can be made self supporting. It provides in detail for all ordiuary and extraordinary conditions necessary to a completo work. Tho Houso is still considering tho tariff bill, aud each day swells tho gi? gantic proportions of tho debate. The speeches already delivered occupy nearly 300 columns of the daily Globe. It is sincerely to be hoped that in this mighty struggle, the country will bo beoefitted more in r?duction of taxation than it costs to print tho speeches on thc sub? ject. Tho lust dyiug effort of our Mayor Bowen, who has been repudiated by all hands, both whit o and colored, was made on Saturday last. Ho visited tho Presi? dent aud requested him to interfere in his behalf, and compel the Government employees to como up to his support. Tho President, of conrso, declined i ti very decided terms. Bowen is now ut tho end of his liuc, and the people feel that ho will nover get his just deserts until tho other end of tho lino is cast over tho limb of sumo sequestered tree, or mounts, ns Fisk says, "to where tho woodbine twiueth." Tho very gravo and important ques? tion as to whether or not tho General Government possesses constitutionally the power to assume control of the canso of popular education, nt least, in those States whioh fail to provide adequate facilities for tho ed neut ion of its youth iu tho fundamental or commou school branches, has engaged tho attention of Congress moro seriously during tho pre? sent session than ever before. This spe? cial interest seems to have been li rsi awakened by tho elaborate and eloquent speech of Colonel Prosser, of Tennessee, on the promotion of education, setting forth in the strongest possible terms the fearful and increasing ratio of illiteracy, not only in tho South, where such a state of affairs is to bo expected, but also iu tho North, East and West-advocating tho necessity of Congress providiugsome means by which popular education may be secured throughout ail tho Stutcs. Later, Judgo Hour, of Massachusetts, ono of tue Committee on Education, in? troduced a bill to establish a "National System of Education," its provisions, however, only to apply to those Stute* which shall neglect to pr?vido education for their youth, which bill was referred to thc committee for consideration, and a few days ago was reported to thc Houso, with thc sanction of tho commit? tee, aud at tho request of Judge Hour, was assigned as a special order for the li rat Tuesday in December next. In thu meantime, the House show- its apprecia? tions of tho needs of tho country by in? creasing the appropriation for tho Bu? reau of Education from 80,003 to$15 000; and also proposes to transfer thc E loca? tional Department of tho Freedmen's Bureau to tho Bureau of Education. A few days Fgo, a very interesting discus? sion occurred upon the bill, sud judging from thc strength of tho voto by which thc Houso refused to lay it on tho table, it will pass. It was advocated by Judge Hoar, ono of thu most able and lucid speakers wo havo in Congress, und ou this question ho seems thoroughly aroused, heart, soul and mind. Also, by General Shanks, of Indiana, Mr. A mel J, Chaiimau of tho Coinmittco on Educa? tion, and other?. Tho most effective opposition to tho bill came from Judgo Lawrence, of Ohio, whose position on thc question rather astonished bis friends, who knew him to be aa earnest fricad to the education and elevation of tho colored pooplo, and also has always boen found upon tho liberal Bide of every question coining before Congress. Tue Judgo naturally felt same embar? rassment upon finding himself upon th? fenme side of the question as Buoh men as Eldridge and MoNeely. The Judge does not think it right that national revenues should bo applied to that purpose, but that each State should educate its own children, and if any shall refuse to do so, the National Government should have the authority to compel it to do so, as a necessary moans to the preservation of Republican principies. McNeely, of Il? linois, a member of the Co tomi tte o OD Education, opposed the bill on the ground that we have already dooe enough for the oegro, now that we have given bim the vote, carried him long enough. "Now," says be, "givo him a chance, drop him iuto the road to his destiny, and start bim co his way amid the struggles and competitions of life." Commissioner Wilson, of tho General Land Office, is in receipt of advices from the Surveyor-General of Nebraska, showing the returns of townships No. 13, North of ranges 35, 36. 37, 38, 39 and 40, West of the 6th principal meridian. These townships lie along the line of the Uuion Pacific Railroad. The Platte Uiver, which traverses in an Easterly direct ion-the traot just surveyed-is a broad, shallow stream, with u very rapid ourreut, and a quick sand-bed, which renders it exceedingly difficult to cross the river with teams. Tho bottom lands along the Platte is principally of first rate soil, and affords excellent op? portunities for agriculture and grazing, and with the facilities for transportation afforded by the railroad, will doubtless soon bo taken up by settlers. Also, notice has been issued to pre-emption settlers by tho Commissioner, and circu? lar instructions have been issued to the district laud offices, requiring the filing of declaratory statements on lauds un surveyed at dato of settlement within six mouths after survey in tho field, either with tho register of tho proper local land office, or with the Surveyor-Gene? ral; ns provided by Act of Juno 2, 18G2, lately decided by tho Secretary of thc Interior, to bo of general application throughout the TJuited Stutes, instead of being, us heretofore, limited in its ap? plication to Colorado Territory. Also, that settlers who havo alreudy filed for lands unsurvoyed at dato of settlement, will bo required to make proof and pay? ment within twelve months from the first day of J uno next. The samo period of twelve months from dato of filing, is allowed by law for making proof uud payment on lund? not surveyed nt date of settlement. " HOMO. GROSS OFFICIAL NEGLECT-A DEAD NEGRO MUTILATED BY BUZZARDS.-We l**aru from tho Newborn Journal of Corn? ual that tho body of a negro mau, drowned about two weeks since, was re? covered on Tuesday, and after tho in? quest was permitted to remain in the waler within tho corporate limits, until the birds of prey had horribly mutilated tho remains. "We wero struck," says tho Journal of Commerce, "by a remark made by a colored man, in alluding to the affair. Said bc: 'The poor fellow can't vote no more, and tho carpot-bag gers niu't got no moro uso for him. That's why they let the buzzards cat him ap.' Tho rcmurk appeared to us both apposite and truthful." RECOVERS OF MONEY SPENT FOR DRINK.-A Michigan woman bas reco? vered by law all tho money that her hus baud had spent in a liquor saloon for six years. Tho prohibitory liquor law of that State does not regard liquor ns "properly," and tho woman recovered the money on the ground that it had been paid to the liquor vender without consideration. After this verdict gets to be well understood throughout the State very few mou will bo found courageous enough to undertake tho retail liquor traffic within its limits. FIRE.-Tho gin houso of Mr. Stephen Whitehead, a planter on the South Caro? lina side of the Savannah River, eight miles from Screven's Ferry, was burned on Tuesday night, with a considerable amount of cotton. It is supposed thut tho fire originated from tho friction ol" tho cotton gin, as it was working at the time tho ino was discovered. The loss is heavy, ns it falls without iusnrauoe on tho building and colton consumed, amounting to three thousand dollars. Johnny Taylor, tho great California rider, is ou his way to New York, where ho is to ride a match against limo in Jerome Park-200 miles iu ten hours. At San Jose, California, in September, IMHO, he roda 200 miles in nine hours and six minutes, winning a purse of Si,000. In this match ho used thirty horses. A Boston gentleman who could nol waltz offered a young lady ono hundred dollars, if she would lot him hug her us much ns tho young man did wdio just waltzed with her. lt was a good offer, and showed that money was no object to him; but they put him out of tho house so hurd that his oyo was quito black. Tho following is tho result of tho eleclion for Intendant and Wardens of town of Winnsboro, held on Monday: Intendant-G. H. McMustur. Wardens I. N. Withers, J. M. Elliott, W. H. Williams, J. A. Fruzer. A German chemist claims to havo dis? covered that impregnation with ? con? centrated solution of rock salt renders all timber firo proof. Furniture can thus be made fire proof and tho losses to families in this particular prevented. A little girl was killed in Pittsburg by trying to jump the ropo 200 times. A mau named Nichols, was killed a few ?lays ngo, in the interior of tho State, at thc first jump, by tho rope's catchiug under his oar. A Cheyenno paper snys that birds are soariug around there; but they are jail birds, and soar at tho limb cud of a ropo. John R. Jaffray, head of tho London houso of E. S.
