Frilay Morning, May 18,1870. .Lato and. roliablo information from Utah, published io one of tho promi? nent California papera, represents public feeling at Salt Luko City undergoing a marked and important chango, precipi? tated by the pnssngo of the Cullom bill. Where five years ago they would have clung to polygamy as a vital dogma of their faith, and would sacrifico lifo and property to tho utmost in ita defence, they now manifest a disposition to sur? render it abd adapt themselves to tho force of circumstances. It is known that only a comparatively small propor? tion pf the Mormons aro polygamists, and the greater majority, now that the issue is fairly presented, do not feel in? clined to peril their worldly prosperity for au institution in which they have uo personal interest. Besides this, tho sen? timent of the Mormon women is almost unanimously against it, und their in? fluence is always an important element in moulding public opinion. Brigham's belligerent attitude, it is said, was only assumed auder strong prcssnro from tho .polygamists, and he secretly rejoices at tho chango in sentiment progressing, -whereby he cxpeots to get out of the sorap? creditably. Aa saving tho ex? pense a Mormon war would entail upou the national treasury, it is earnestly to be hoped that these views upou the situ? ation may prove true in their results. From the numerous conspiracies against Napoleon's life already success? fully combated, and the promising prospect of others to come, being nu Emperor, cannot be regarded ns such a good thing after all. Just think of a mau forced to bid his wife and child adieu, with all the solemnity of u finul parting, whenever ho goes out of doors I Imagine how pleasant it must bo, and what a cheerful look the world must have after a few weeks of such disci? pline. No wonder the Spanish crown goes hawked about Europe without a bidder. The contingent wealth is all well enough, but the State is an awful bore, and the danger from enthusiastic assassins is almost too wcariu' on the pa? tience to bo comfortable. People in the king business have come to uuderstund this, and do not "hanker" aft? r royalty ne much as they did in old and more mus? cular times. It is surprising to us that Frauce does not profit by thc pitiful ex? ample of poor Spuiu-crowuless aDtl kingless-and instead of trying to assas? sinate Napoleon, watch over ami protect his life as its dearsst treasure, since il must be not only a bravely desperate but a despairing man, who will consent to trust himself in the scrape Napoleon has been in for over twenty years, and which ho will most probably slip out ol at tho hand of some crazy fool. , Aa an instance of hair splitting, flit recently-renewed debato in Parliament upou the question whether a mau can marry his deceased wife's sister is tin most absurd. This question has beer taken up, fought over, laid down, turu cc round, settled and unsettled for nearly a century, and here it is agaiu iu all tin vigor of early youth, puzzling a third 01 fourth generation of statesmen. Durin? all this time, however, men have beet marrying deceased wife's sisters, und wil probably continuo to do so, despite th? legal disuelvan tay e thereby entailed upot their children. Nobody doubt?, least o all those loudest io advocacy of tho pro hibition, tho inevitable result. Wini public opinion legalizes, tho law mus localize sooner or later; but John Bul clings to his red tupo with a tenacity ai absurd ns it is often injurious. Th? sooner Parliament settles n question set tied years ago in thc minds of all sensibh people, the more creditable it will bo U all concerned. UNITED STATES UODBT-Hon. Georgi S. Bryan, presiding.

POUT ROYAL RAILROAD.-Tho Savait nah Advertiser, of thc lilli inst., says: We learn from a party arrived fron the immediate vicinity of tho mad, yes tsrday, that there aro about 1,100 hand employed at work on thu liuo. The h oi is being laid at thu rato of half ti mile day, gangs working from both ends, nm it is contemplated to havo tho cutir routo completed and in running order b, the 7th of next September. A Cord, Proprietor* of the Daily Phiznix-Sin: Ifludintho PfftKNTX, of thia morning, an article credited tbusVVOonfeapondent Cincinnati Commercial," and.bonded, "Tho Proston*, and Hampton's-Inte? resting Family Reminiscences," in which is this paragraph : "Does Preston livo there himself?" "Yes, considerably, but I believo bo spends most of his time in Europe Hus got considerable money invested thorc in one way und another. He prophesied that tho war would como up a loug time beforo it did, and so, to bo on tho safe side, bo sold most of his negroes, and invested bis money in Europe." I trust in re publishing this article, it was by mero ncciduut you overlooked tho falsehoods and insinuations of this paragraph. Its publication iu South Carolina demnnds of mo to denounce the falsehoods, nud to state: 1. 1 havo not now. nud never did have, ono dollar iuvested or kept in Europe, except for current expenses whilo there. 2. I sold my negroes and sugar plan? tations becauso I was offered a fair price for them, and wished to go to Europe to educate my children-my purpose being on my return, to invest in negroes and cotton plantatious. The war coming on, these investments were mado in the cause of my country. 3. For thirty years I believed the war would come, and bo tho means of dis? solving the Union, and thereby preservo slavery and iucrease tho valuo of slaves, and so believed until Sherman, unop? posed, crossed the Savannah. The person who writes these articles, which yon (unwittingly, as 1 hope,) pub? lish, may do it iu tho proper pursuit of his foul vocation. I hope, however, that no man in South Carolina will have tho dis-repntable hardihood to endorse them, as I am suro no ono believes them. Tho silly errors of the article require no refu? tation. Respectfully asking you to pub? lish this card, Yours. &c, JOHN S. PRESTON. COLOMBIA, May 12, 1870. THU GREAT HAIL-STORM.-A lotter from Philadelphia gives tho following additional particulars of the groat hail? storm iu that city on tho 7th: "About 2 o'clock, this afternoon, the most destructive bnil-storm ever known hero passed over tho city from North? west to South-west. Nor nearly thirty minutes, there was a continuous fall of hail-stones, from the size of a pea to six and seven inches in circumference. The damage done greatly exceeds that of the great bail-storm of September, 18(18. Thc greatest force of the st urm wa* along Broad street and in the Southern section of the c ty. On the South side of Chest? nut street, above Eighth, hardly a pane of glass is left. Ou Broad street, many churches bad their stained glass win? dows destroyed. Tho front of the Con? tinental Hotel, as far ns tho windows are considered, is a perfect wreck. Tho los? may bu computed by thous iuds of dol? lars. Repoits from Ibe outskirts slate that there is au almost total destruction of fruit trees, which wera just iu blos? som. At. 0 o'clock to-night, the bail still remained in piles in thu streets. The hail-storm seems to have expended its fury in and around the city. It did not extend across tho Delaware River lo Camden, und despatches from tho inte? rior say lhere was no hail there. Malty of the hotels are greatly damaged, espe? cially tim Bingham House, on tho cor? ner of Eleventh and Market streets, Ibo windows being shattered in tho whole front. People in all sect ions of the city are giving orders to glaziers this evening for repairs, as they know there will bu a rush on the trade to monow." ANOTHER MURDER.-A few days ago. Capt. Kennedy and bis constabulary forco arrested Abram Landrum, colored, charged with killing John Bush, colored, living on tho plantation of Mr. Jerry Gardner, on the night of the 2Gth of Apt il. It appears that Landrum went to Bush's bouse, called him out, got into a quarrel, an altercation ensued, and there? upon Landrum bred upon Bush with a loaded musket, killing him instantly. Landrum is in jail. Lovo and jealousy, lt is said, were at the bottom of this ii ii - fortunate affair.-R/gefield Advertiser. FATAL ACCIDENT. - Wo regret to learn that Mr. John Schumann, whilst em? ployed on tho steam saw mill of Mr. Pat ker, near this place, on tho lUlb inst., was caught by the machinery nud drawn Hillier I liv saw, and horribly lacerated. Hu lingered a few hours, dying from thu fffvets of tho burt. Tho deceased was only nineteen years of age, and could not speak a word of English. His pa? rents reside near Pernuna, S. C.

Bennett, to? gether wit li tho smoke-house and kitchen, situated fifteen miles below, on tho Lau? rens road, was entirely consumed on Saturday night last, with nearly the en? tire contents, lint few articles being saved. Dr. Bennett was a sent at the time. The los-* must have been between j Si,SOOand $2.i)00.~G reen ville Enterprise I PARDON.-Nancy Hudson, who was sentenced at ibe last terni of tho Court to thirty days imprisonment and a line of SUD for receiving stolen goods, was pardoned last week by Clo v. Scott, and all the costs of thu prosecution remitted, thereby throwing Ibo binden of their payment upon thu County. I Chester Reporter. SUDDEN DEATH.-Mr. F. C. Brown, of this County, died suddenly on saletlay last. Ile was at Walhalla during that day, returned home, ate. bis dinner late, and, in tho midst of lively conversai ion, fell from bis chair to thu floor, anti ex? pired immediately.-Keotoeo Courier. A tiegro man, named Andrew, bus been arrested for tho murder of Captain H?ltzcluw, with very suspicious circum? stances against him. Among the most important results achieved by the blundering radical ad? min istrution no w ia power, ie the Indian war which threatens the border. For an acoouut of Hs mignitude, wo are depend? ent upon Gen. Parker, the Commission? er of Indian; affairs, appointed by the same blundering administration. Ho says that 8,000 warriors are already in the fir ld, and will be increased by 4,000 more. Each warrior has an average of ten ponies, plenty of fixed ammunition, ?md excellent arms. Ho further says, that all arc bent upon war, which will commence as soon as tho "Big Horn ex? pedition" is undertaken. The war will bo conduct od in regular Iudian style, tho Indians scattering in bauds of upwards of 500 over Montana, Wyoming, Cubila? do and Dakota, startling our peuple with tho accounts of massacres iu all these Territories. Against these, Gen. Sheri? dan nan only muster about 2,000 cavalry, tho ouly efficient arm of troops; and, tinnily, Gen. Parker closes with tho com? forting assurance that unless something is speedily accomplished by tho blunder iug administration, "the whole frontier settlements will ho destroyed." Meanwhile, the Cabinet is engaged in preparing cottages at Long Brunch aud elsewhere, and Friend Jauuey is .vriting to the War Department, that ull is bless fully peaceful, and Ibo little captured "Iujius" getting along very well with the alphabet. Fish diues. Hoar drivels, .Sherman swears, Grant smokes, and a general feeling of "let her rip" reigns supreme at Washington; and all this, some imaginative people call good go? vernment.-New Orleans Times. MOUE GENEKOBITT -We published, on Sunday ruoruiug, u statement that Mr. Edward Pndelford, of Savannah, had made a douation of $10,000 for t he pur? pose of erecting a suitublo building for the accommodation of aged and iuiirm colored people of Chatham County. Ho bas added auother to tho list of his chari? ties iu tho shape of a donation of Si,000 to that excellent institution, tho Episco? pal Orphan's Homo in Savannah. Tho Neics udds: "Another gentleman, well known as a merchant of this city, has executed his will, by which ho be? queathed S100.000 towur.ls the establish? ment of hospitals for iudigeut uegroes throughout the South." Tho town of Fincastle, Va., has met with a terriblo disaster-a fire, which destroyed nearly $100,000 worth of pro? perty. Many of tho in habita nt s have been deprived of their homes, aud are without food or money. Between forty aud fifty stores mid dwelling houses were burned, and a great many out houses. Them is not left in the town ono store, or oflice, or business house of auy kind, except that a mill, a tannery aud a black? smith shop on tho suburbs remain, and in these is invested at present the busi? ness capital of Fiuca*>tle. Tho Eufuulu (Ala.) Times says there is a terrible state of atT.tiis iu West Alaba? ma; a young war has been waging there for some time. Thorn is an organized baud of desperadoes, who have declined their purpose to drive every "rebel"und Democrat out of that section, or kill ?.very male, old and young, aud o tl tr?ge every woman. As a consequence, great excitement prov i Is in that region. We uro prepared to believe almost any? thing wc como in Contact with in the papers, but Ihat story about a keg ol' but ler being put into a well, iu Pennsyl? vania, to cool, tinny years ugo, uni] just having been taken out last Week as sweet us when it. was put in. is a little too rank for ns. And Pennsylvania butter, too! It. is said that owing to tho heavy tariff-sixty per cent, ml Valoron - upon lino, laces, tho entire trade at thu North hus passed into tho hands of smugglers, riley ar?; brought over from Canada, niul a Indy can readily conceal from 6?,0U? lo $8.000 worth about her persou. Gen. Goicouria arrived at Havana on Frida; night, ns a prisoner of the Spa? niards, was taken to jail, where ho was tried before a verbal court-martial, and sentenced to bo garroted. He was placed in lite capilla, mid at 1 o'clock on Satur? day morning was taken to Principe Fort, and at 8 o'clock was garroted. Ile was calm and firm to the last. KILLED nt LIGHTNING).-Gu Thursday evening hint, a colored mnn on tho plan? t?t ion of Mr. Lawrence Johnson, while tu thu act of mounting his horse to go to thu Held, was struck by lightning and killed on tho instant. Tho burse was also killed. - EilgefieU I A deer User. Three young ladies, two daughters of t Robert Wallace, and tho other a daugh? ter of Charles Wallace, while rowing in a mill-pond, near Wheatlaml, Ind., Monday, were carried over a dam and drowned. Mnj. John S. Calvert, of Richmond ono of the wounded at the capitol acci? dent- died on tho 10th. He was a pro? minent citizen, ami had several times ? Ulled tho ollico of State Treasurer.

EXECUTION IN DARLINGTON.-On Fri? day last, a negro Hamed Paul Brown, convicted of murder nt tho last term ?if the Darlington Court, was executed in the presence of a largo COUCOUtSO of people. OPPOSITION TO WnrrrituoriE.-E. J. Suetler bas nominated J. II. Rai ney, colored, State Senator from Georgetown County, tn ii candidato for Congress to till the unexpired term caused by thu resignation of Whittemoro. The census rot urn for Greenville Coun? ty shows that thu white v iting strength of the County exceeds that of tho colored 1.500, and tho total white population is ?,?3'2 iu excess of that of tho colored, being nearly double. A fenialii preacher married a couple lately in Iowa. At tho end of tho cere? mony, tho minister kissed the groom. A PHYSICIAN'S STOBT.-An eminent pliveioiun, in Hearth and Home, tells the following excellent story for the benefit of young mothersv' He saya: . X "An i?j tell ?gen t young mother inquired some days since how she could best pre? serve her child s linen oleun and sweet when ohanged frequently during the day. I directed her never to dry it by the fire, bot in the sun nud open air, if tho weather permits to. You thus not only avoid saturating the air of your room with tho volatilo and poisonous gases driven out of the linen, but tho sun's rays have powers of cleansing and disin feot'ng that artificial heat, h is not, mid will purify aud pr servo tho linen. She fol? lowed my directions; but as is toe often the practice, dried and aired it in the nursery window. Her fastidious hus? band remonstrated in vain against this unseemly exposuro. Believing that if she saw ber practice as others saw it, sho would desist, be KO directed their after? noon walk as to bring the nursery win? dow into full view from a central part of tho town. Stopping abruptly, he point? ed to the nffeudiug linen flapping con? spicuously in tho breeze, nud asked, sar custicall}: 'My dear, what ia thut dis? played from our windows?' 'Why,' sho proudly replied, 'that is the flag of our union 1' Conquered by this pungent re? tort, be saluted the flag with a swing of his hat, and pressing.his wife's arm closer within his own, said, as they wnlkcd homeward, 'And loug may it wave.'" HOWAIID INVESTIGATION.-In the evi? dence beforo tho Howard investigation, Saturday, it appeared that the proceeds of the Balo of lots from tho Howard University land amounted to over $100,000, but they were .not turned over to the Uuited States Treasury as a reim? bursement for tho amount origiually drawn from there to pay for said lands. This disposes of tho story that tho Go? vernment bad buen made good in tho speculation. Tho French opposition and clerical organs question th? result of tho elec? tion. They miiintaiu that while tho vote may havo a numerical value, it is with? out social, political or religions signifi? cance. Tho police arrested 200 porsous, and searched many houses in the trou? bled districts. Arrests aro continued. Crowds of people aro gathered in several places.

GARIBALDI.-Having temporarily laid asido his sword, tho red shir ted General has taken up tho pen, and furnished tho world with a novel which may bo termed historical: "The Rule of tho Mask; or Romo in the Nine? teenth Century." Tho translator says: "Tho author's desire to portray tho stato of society iu Rome aud around it, during tho last years of the Papaey, has been paramount, and tho narrativo only serves os tho form for this deuigu. Ac? cordingly, tho reader must not expect uu elaborately compiled plot, with artistic developments. Ho will, nevertheless, be siucerely interested in tho fortunes and the fate of tho beautiful and virtuous Roman ladies who figuro in tho tale-of the gallant and dashing brigand of thc Campagna, Orazio-UK: handsome Mnzio -tho brave and faithful Attilio, ami the author's evident favorito, 'English Julia,' whose share iu the story enables our re? nowned author to exhibit his excessive alice! iou for England and tho Euglish people. It only remains to commend these various heroes and heroines to tho publie, with tho remark that tho de? ficiencies of tho work aro duo rather to tho translation f an to tho original; for the vigor and charm of the great Libe? rator's Italian is such ns to show that he might have rivalled Munzouiund Allieri, if ho had not preferred to emulate aud equal tho Gracchi and Rienzi." HINTS TO LADIES.-If you dance well, (lanius but seldom. If yon dunce ill, ucver dance at all. If you siug well, muka no puerile ex? cuses. If 3'ou sing indifferently, hesitate not a moment when you aro asked, for few persons are competent judges of singing, but every ono ts seusiblo of a desire to please. If in a conversation you think a per? son wrong, rather hitit a difference of opinion than oller a contradiction. It is always in your power to ranice a friend by smiles; what folly to make ene? mies by frowns! When you have an opportunity lo praise, do it with all your heart. When you are forced to blame, do it with reluctance. If you are envious of another woman, never show it but by allowing her every good quality and perfection, except those which she already possesses. If you wish to let thu world know you aro in love with a particular tuan, treat him with formality, and every oue else with ease and freedom. If yon aro disposed to be pettish or insolent, it is better to exercise your ill humor on your dog, your eat, or servant, than on your friend. If you would preservo beauty, rise early. If you would preserve esteem, bc gen? tle. If you would obtain power, be conde? scending. ROANOKE COLLEGE, VIRGINIA.-We de? sire to present to tho peoplo of the South tho claims and advautagos which Koa noko College, located at S.dem, Virginia, offer for their consideration in tho edu? cation r:f their sons abroad. Its learned j and renowned Faculty, together with its situation -mid-way between tho Alle ghnny and Iiluo Ridge chain of moun? tains-gives it, in point of educational advantago and purity of atmosphere, a position equal, if not surpassed, by that of any other college in tho Southern country. Roanoke Collego has hitherto depended on becoming known and ap? preciated more by relying ou its own merits, than by trumpeting its fame through moro public channels. The college is surrounded by mineral springs; its expenses, both as regards tuition and board, aro exceedingly moderate; it en? joys ample railroad and telegraphic com? munication through and with all neces? sary and desirablo points, and is working a curriculum that furnishes as thorough and finished a knowledge of every de? partment embraced in useful lore, asean bo desired by any in commencing their race in lifo. The students of this college now publish a Microcosm, being the first of its kind, wo believe, ever published from any Southern college. Mr. Julius Dreher, of our State, and a student of Roanoke College, is its gentlemanly tra? veling agent, and can bo seen at tho store of Messrs. Duffie & Chapman, to day, from ll n. m. to 2 p. m., when ho will bo pleased to furnish catalogues, Microcosm, etc., and give any further information on tho subject, of which wo liavo hero writ? ten, that mny be desired of him.
