COLUMBIA; S. C. Tuesday Morning. August 2,1870. ..Dead issues and Living IteiulU." As a matter of interest to oar readers, especially in Columbia, we are pleased to state that a volume bearing this title will soon be published by Mr. H. C. Mack, of Murfreesboro, Tenn. It is a history of Sherman's march through South Carolina, and will contain a full and detailed account of the barning of Columbia. AU tho valuable and inter? esting details collected by oar towns? men, Dr. D. H. Trezevant and J. P. Carroll, Esq., have been turned over to Mr. Mack, and will thus take their place in history. The volume will also eon tain a review of tho canses of thc war, and of Northern and Soathern charac? teristics. The book cannot fail to he of rare interest and of great historical value. Tta>e Position of France. The mystery which at first surrounded the secret treaty alleged to have been submitted to Count Bismarck by Napo? leon, or his Minister, is now all but positively cleared np. It must be taken for granted that a negotiation was pro? jected in which the interests and peace of Europa were to be alike violated. In -tho first place, tho document published ?in London has not been repudiated by tho French Government. A series of "explanations" have been permitted to come to us through indirect channels, bnt they aro one and all dishonest eva? sions of the .question pat by tho English Cabinet, rather than a frank answer to it. It is stated, for instance, that tho French Ambassador and tho Prussian Minister only discussed the subject in? formally, and that the French Govern? ment knew nothing about the discussion. This story would not deceive a child. The Frenoh papers also ask the world to believe that the scheme was only broach? ed in order to "test" Count Bismarck an explanation which in itself goes far to? ward convicting tho Emperor Napoleon of the duplicity laid to his charge. In short, tho evidence all leads to tho con? clusion that the treaty which tho Lon? don Times managed to get hold of, by means best known to itself, was not an invention, but something very closely resembling the document actually sub? mitted to Bismarck. Under these cir? cumstances, the New York Times thinks, it would bo impossible to exaggerate tho new difficulties which Napoleon has created for himself. The contest which he appears to havo boen so eager to bring about, was ono fraught with so much peril, that we might well suppose he would have desired to postpono it ns long as possible. Tho opinion of Eng? land was against him from thc first, and he has always shown extreme anxiety to remain on good terms with that power. The discovery of this secret treaty would amply justify England in confronting him with something stronger than morul opposition. If, as is positively stated, tho disgraceful proposals of France were instantly rejected by Count Bismarck, the fact not only attests the superiority of tho latter as a diplomatist and states? man, but it will be quito sufficient to insure for Prussia tho steadfast support of Great Britain. In other words, sup? posing that Prussia is ever in danger of being struck down by France-a proba? bility which grows smaller every day there is no longer room for doubt that England would at once step in to the defence of her old ally, and that Napo? leon would find himself BO hopelessly over-matched that no possible combina? tion could savo him. The Emperor's deniul of all knowledge of tho outrage proposed to Prussia in his name, will not bo behoved in any quarter. No one will doubt that ho is now endeavoring to wrest by force of arms the prize which a guilty intrigue failed to secure. The disclosure of this conspiracy changes the aspect of the whole strug? gle. Tho attitude of Prussia, it is true, is not affected by it; but France occupies a position which threatens her with a disaster immeasurably greater than any she has sustained since Waterloo. While pretending to be acting in good faith with tho English Government, Napoleon is revealed in tho act of contriving a coup d'etat for a parallel to which wo must go back to tho early days of his rule. Belgium .seemed so secure that no ono of late years has believed in tho re? newal of French aggression. Yet at tho moment tho Emperor Napoleon has un? dertaken tho gigantic task of 1'subdu? ing*' Prussia, he has managed, by a trick of inconceivable baseness, to set England at his throat. Henceforth, it is no long? er an issuo between the North German Confederation and France. ?-???-> An Indiana journal is trying to pro? mote pedestrian exerciso among thc stu? dents of the Slate by urging a law to prohibit the Mile of liquor within three miles of any institution of learning. General M. C. Butler bas been charged as one of the authors of the "Black Code." A correspondent ol' theChsrles ton Courier thas settles the matter: "By referring to tho ??ouao Journal, page 119, in the vote oh the third aud final reading of the bill, among the nays will be found the name of General Butler. Mackey knew, or might have known tho truth, but the perversion of truth serves his purposes best." THE PROGRESS OF REFORM.-Wo are informed of additional mass meetings in behalf of reform at Walhalla and Green? ville, where crowds of both colors assem? bled to hear the speakers. At Greenville, B. F. Perry, Esq., introduced tho speak? ers and showed his appreciation of tho oflbrts now making to secure for South Carolina a reform government. In Pick ens, Oconeo, Anderson and Greenville, the seed of reform have boen indus? triously planted. Tho "Marseillaise" will soon loso its local and original significance, in becom? ing the uuiversal hymn of revolution. It is no longer the national strain of France-tho hymn of liberty-it is the shriek of war itself, the murmur of ga? thering and impassioned legions. Wher? ever it has been sung, contending cannon have, ero long, thandered in its chorus. There is blood in every bar, and battle in every note. It roused tho Hunga? rians to revolution; it gathered the Ita? lians, and it was tho first ory of tho "lost cause." It is heard now in tho pnlaco of Napoleon, and is echoed along the Py renneos and over tho green fields of Ire? land. Glorious and almost inspired though it bo, there is something dreadful in its sound. We hear it in the wail of the oppressed, the diapason of avenging curses, tho rush to arms, tho howl of battlo and the shriek of victory-all com? bined in one agony of song. CADET-BROEER WniTTEMORE.-Tho prominent port taken by ex-Congress? man Whittomoro in tho recent radical Convention.attracts the attention of the Northern prossof all parties. Says thoNcw York Herald: "In South Carolina, Gov. Scott, by the grace of ex-Congressman WJiiitemore, has been nominated for Go? vernor." Tho New York World says: It appears that the cadet-broker Whi? temore took entire oharge of tho South Carolina Republican State Convention on Thursday last. It was Whittemoro who decided which of the delegates were duly elected; Whittemoro who framed tho platform "indorsing President Grant's administration;" and Whitte? moro who nominated the candidates for thc coming raco. In ono word, from its head to its tail, tho whole 1 top ubi i can party in South Carolina was incarnated in this convicted and twice-branded ca? det-selling, carpet-bag Congressman; and so decided a prominence on tho heels ?of his second rejection by the House seems to iudicute that, just in proportion as any man becomes degraded in general estiniutiou, just in that proportion does ho rise in the estimation of thoso rice field sutfragans who form, with some Whitt?iuoro-isli whito men, tho Repub? lican party of South Curoliun. This fel? low was driven from tho House for pluiu theft, and his constituents sent him back; the House spurned him from its threshold, and, lol he rises still higher in South Carolina Republicanism, and from a simple Congressman becomes the great head-centre of tho party through? out the State. Tho isolation of Franco in tho contest on which she has just entered, seems every clay to increase. The passive liostilit}- of Great Britain is already au accomplished fact; Denmark, on whom Franco reckoned to cause a diversion against Prussia in tho North, has given olficial notification of neutrality, and in spite of Prince Napoleon's mission, will probably adhcro to it, while Spain is moro than ever irate at the language bold by tho Freuch Foreign Minister with r?f?rence to tho subserviency of I thc Cortes in tho choico of a King. As a set-oil' to all this, tho Gaulois follows up it.?s announcement of a correspond? ence with rofereuce to the evacuation of Rome, by the statement of a conditional alliance between Franco and Italy, one stipulation of which secures to tho latter power a payment of 312,000,000 in gold, and another loaves tho question of tho occupation of Rome aa thc capital to tho Government of Florence. Proba? ble as such au ul lian co may appear, it is uouo the less likely that Italy will pause before taking a step in which sho risks everything for tho immedinto attain? ment of an object which timo will un? doubtedly put within her grasp. [New York Times. A NEURO THIEF Kl?ts A WHITE MAN, AND is IN TUEN SHOT AND THROWN INTO THE RIVER!-A double homicido was committed on Tuesday last, in tho town of Ellasville, Florida. It seems that two negro thieves broke into tho storo of a gontloman doing business in that town, aud whilo they were engaged in robbing tho establishment, were discovered by a white mau, and ouo of them captured. Whilo tho captor was holding tho negro, the scoundrel drew n pistol and shot and killed him. A number of the citizens of tho place, hearing of tho murder, pur? sued tho negro, and capturing him, shot thc assassin and pitched his body into tho river. They aro cutting down brauchos from tho trues iu tho London parks to foed thc deer, so severo has been the drought, aud brewers' grain is fed to the cattle. THE LESSON 07 Po LITIO AL SAVAGERY. In the cou ol ud'ug portion of Soot t's novel, ''Waverley,*'* t^ejf? is no affecting passage, where thc hero, himself joist amnestied for complicity in tho rebellion of 1745, rookes an. unavailing appeal to an official M friend. to save, tho Ufe of Fergus Mcivor, who was about to suffer death for high treason nt Carlisle. The functionary appealed to, writes back to Mr. Waverley to say that he is very sorry for "the unfortunate young gentle? man," but cannot interfere in his behalf, so that the law must take its course. Such, Sir Walter Scott pauses sorrow? fully to add, was tho mode of reasoning common among persons of honor aud humanity only "sixty years 6?uce." The London Telegraph, which reviews this suggestive fragment from Waverley, applies it to the oaso of the Hungarian patriot, Count Louis Batthynni, who, only twenty years since, was hung by the Aastrl ~. Government for tho sole crime of patriotism, as though he had been a murderer or a dog. In this period of Europoau perturba? tions, and also as affording an instance of the change which has taken place since political matters were oonduoted iu Austria and Hungary with HU ch a high hand, and when it was quito consonant with tho code of repression adopted by the savage commanders, of whom Hoy nau was the most prominent type, to hang and shoot men and to flog women, tho story of Count Batthyaui may not bo without interest. One of the most distinguished of tho Hungarian mag? nates, ho signalized himself at an early period by his zeal in behalf of tho inde? pendence of his country, and after wag? ing a fierce war against the Austrian Go? vernment, he became afterward instru? mental in promoting Kossuth's election to the Diet. Subsequently, he officiated for a short time as prime minister of tho revolutionary administration. On the approach of tho Austrian army towards Pesth, tho members of tho Diet and of the administration withdrew. Batthyaui alone would not desert his post, und tho consequence of his chivalric resolve was that he was arrested and sentenced by a court-martial, presided over by tho infa? mous Marshal Haynau, to die on tho gallows. A horrible story was current nt the time, that on the night before his execution, tho Magyar's noble wife, anx? ious that ho should avoid the ignominy of the gallow3, forwarded to him, in a packet of clean linen, a long, sharp, crooked nail, with which ho inflicted a jagged, but not mortal wound, in his throat. Other accounts havo it that ho stabbed himself with a dagger, and in? flicted so many wounds upou his neck that he could not be hung, and, accord? ingly, was shot. He met his tragic fate with heroism and resignation. The resentment of Austria extended to his wife and his three children, who were expelled from tho country, while his property was confiscated by tho Go? vernment. This was only twenty-one years ago, but a great chungo has come over Austria in its treatment of tho he? roic race upon whom it will have here? after to rely as its right arm in battle. The policy of cruelty and oppression has given place to tho wiser counsels of clemency and conciliation. Tho people of Hungary stand onco moro erect, and one of their latost aots, which Austria oviuced no disposition to repress, waa to do justice to the memory of Louis Batthyaui. Tren ted even niter his death like a felon, and buried with mutilated rites, his remains have beon recently ro moved from tho place into which they were hastily thrust, aud after lying in stnto for twenty-four hours at the Church of the Franciscans, they have been es? corted to tho new cemetery at Pesth by .lf),000 Hungarians, whilo for three miles along tho route the wiudows-nay, even tho house-tops-were alivo with men, women and children, looking down with pride and love npon the ashes of tho mau who died for his country in her darkest hour. In view of the war clouds which aro now hovering over Europe, and tho possibility that Austria may some day have to make a life and death struggle for her own existence, it is per? haps well for her that heroio Hungary is herself onco more, and no longer treated as a subjugated and vassal race. Lot tho lessiou bo applied hero in the United States in regard to our Southern bre? thren.-Ballimore Sun. While all Europo is discussing the mysterious Franco-Prussian treaty for tho absorption of Belgium, that kiug doni must feel peculiarly outroged by a scheme which, if successful, would havo becu utterly destructivo of its methods of social and industrial development. Tho mere ownership of tho territory by any particular power might bo changed and history be only ropcatiug itself. Belgium has nover onjoyed what may bo called international independence. It has at different periods been a possession of France, of Spain, of Austria and of Holland; and oven now its existence is guaranteed by other Governments. But tho Belgian Government has fostered an economical policy different from any othor, and ono especially suited to the very diversified character of tho national industries. It has retained control of, and operated tho canals and railroads, upon tho principio that good and cheap internal communication is n most im? portant means of promoting the pros? perity of a Stato. Tho refusal, some timo ago, of tho transfer of the Luxem? burg Railway to a French company, cvou at tho risk of offouding Napoleon, was in conformity with this polioy. It is easy to judge, thorefore, with what iudignation tho people would viow a political transfer which would certainly involvo tho destruction of their chief element of prosperity, as woll as their political existonce.-New York Times. "I wonder whero thoso clouds aro going?" sighed Flora, pensivoly, as she poiutcd with her dclicato fiuger to the heavy masses that floated in tho Bky. "I think they aro going to thunder," said her brother. Mexico mast be a pleasant place to travel in. Under Juarez the banditti have increased to. RU ch an alarming ex? tent as to be regarded in the light.of a creditable profession. Few travelers move over its. highways without .being despoiled of everything in their posses? sion, even to clothing. A private letter recently received from ono of the cities on the ronto to the City of Mexico says that it is no unusual thing to seo a dili? gence arrive with all its windows closed, which means that tho robbers have not left the passengers enough clothes to en? able them to appear decently before the public. Ou such occasions blankets aro stuffed in tho windows in ordor that they may be enabled to walk from the dili? gence to their bed-rooms in a becoming manner. A Government so powerless as to submit to such outrages is scarcely worth tho many eulogies passed upon it in Congress, and thc high consideration with which it is treated by our country. SLAVERY IX WEST INDIES.-By recout diplomatic correspondence between Se? cretary Fish and Minister Sickles it is shown that the Spanish Government has proposed a decree postponing the eman? cipation of slaves in Cuba and Porto Rico until tho middle of the next century, notwithstanding the Government had been committed to immediate or speedy abolition by General Prim. Secretary Fish has instructed Mr. Sicklos to state to the Spanish Government . that the President feels it to bo tho duty of this Government to impress upon the Span? ish Cabinet tho policy as well as tho pro? priety of making ut once provisions for an earlier and moro thorough emancipa? tion of slaves. Ho declares that the pro? posed decree wili bo looked upon with dissatisfaction by the civilized world, as well as disappointment by this coun? try. -?~ ? - While both the armies of Franco aud Prussia are hopelessly closed against all foreigners ambitious to figure at the out? set as anything higher than a private soldier, or at most a non-commissioned officer, au exception has been made by the Prussians in favor of surgeons. All properly qualified persous, no matter of what nationality, who can speak German, will bo received as assistant surgeons in tho forces of King William. The Exe? cutive Committee of the German Patri? otic Aid Society aro prepared to send German-speaking surgeons to tho Prus? sian theatre of notivo operations. AN ICE CAVERN. -In that wonderful little goetio fragment "Kubla Khan," which oleridge doolnredj that be dreamed, wo read of, "That suuny domol thoso caves of ice!" They have discovered the equal of Kubla's caves iu Winneskeik County, Iowa. Tho workmen upon a road there accidently opened a cave, from which there was at once a blast of cold air, and so cold was it at the mouth of tho cavern, that ice formed wherever moisture gathered. With such a nice place*for a cell as this, ono might be tempted in thc dog-days to turn anchorite, und to pass the remainder of one's life in a state of beatific refrigeration. lu an address just put forth to tho Democratic and conservative voters of Louisiana, tho Stato Central Democratic Committee auuounces as tho proper plat? form for tho election of this fall re? trenchment aud reform; to rid tho State of its enormous debt; reduce the taxes; rebuild the levees; restore confidence and promote harmony between capital and labor, between tho colored man an.l the planter, between the planter and the merchant; to induce immigration; aud to develop the vast agricultural wealth of tho Stato. GOOD ron TIIE CORONERS, ANYHOW. Tho number of inquests hold in New York during tho past thirty-one days is .1-42, at an expense to tho County of 88,810, tho allowanco for cachease being ?520. Coroners extend their hours of duty far into the night, so that they may hold inquests aud grant certificates, ns tho prevailing heat necessitates early inter? ment of tho dead. During tho past throe or four days Coroners have found themselves examining into cases long after midnight. CURING DAMPNESS IN WALES.-A Rus? sian preparation for curing moisture in tho walls of houses consists in the use of a mixture made by adding two pounds of white resiu to n boiling solution of three and threo-fonrths pounds of green vitriol in 100 pounds of water. To this ten pounds of sifted red ochre or other color, eight pounds of ry o meal and six and-a-half pounds of linseed oil aro to bo added, and tho whole stirred together until it forms a completely homogenous mass. Two coats of this mixturo aro to bo applied successively, whilo hot, but only in dry, warm weather. A HUMAN CURIOSITY.-Dr. J. M. Mar? chant, of Warren, R. L, writes as fol? lows, concerning a curious freak of na? ture that lately carno under his observa? tion: "A malo child was recently born in this town, having upon his head what is rather a usoless appendage to ono of his sex. Covering that part of his head usually occupied by tho chignon is a thick, curly mass of hair ?oino thrco inches in length, and dark brown like the mother's, whilo that upon tho rest of tho head is short, thin and very light. Tho father's hair is red. Tho Lexington Caucasian publishes a letter from a correspondent at Freedom, Mo., which states that on tho 5th of July, tho family of Joseph Youngo wero startled by tho appcarauco of a column of flame in the air, which oxteuded many hundred feet upward to a point, and rapidly approached tho earth. It was attended with n rushing noise, which becamo almost deafening as it drow near, and ended with a report liko tho loudest thunder.

ROANOKE COLLEGE, SALEM, VIRGINIA. Wo received a visit, yesterday, from Mr. Julius D. Dreher, of our State, who ha? been engaged for several mouths past OE au extensive tour throughout tho South, for the purpose of mcking better known tho advautages possessed by Roanoke College, Va., as nu institution of learning, pre-eminently worthy tho cousideratior of thoso having boys to send abroad foi an education, which, under particular circumstances, they may determine can not as well be obtained at home. Thil institution, located at Salem, on tho Vir giuia and Teunesseo Railroad, aud in lh< beautiful and fertile valley of tho Roan oko, offers superior educational and hy gienic advantages. Hitherto this collegi has not been presented to the public t( any extent through the public journal? Now, however, its friends deem itprope: to placo it moro prominently before tin public; and in doing so they offer tc those having sons to educate a faculty distinguished for their learning, and foi their efficiency and largo experience ii tho training of youths, and a college sita atcd in the midst of a refined and intel lectual community, and surrounded bj mineral springs.

Mr. Dreher who is nt present a student at Roanoke, is a gcntloman of great promise. His present tour in thc servico of the college has been very successful, and although there aro cvon now as many as thirteen States , represented within her walls, there .is every prospect that with hei rapidly increasing popularity, the higl standing of her graduates heretofore, tin thorough course of studies which sin furnishes, her accessible and healthy lo cation, tho moderato rates she imposes, tho moral and refined community which snrrouml her, her excollont literature societies, and extensive and well solectec libraries, <to., Sec., this college, at thc commencement of her next session it September next, will show a very largi addition to her already extended list o: students.
