C. Tu?rsuay Komine December 29 1870. A Perversion or II I story The two hundred aud fiftieth anniver? sary of the landing of the New England Pilgrims appears to have been celebrated this year by their descendants with even more than the usual manifestations of a | complacent and self-glorified sectional? ism. At tho celebration at Plymouth, we find the following among tho regular toasts : "Plymouth and Jamestown-tho Pilgrims and the Cavaliers-freedom and slavery ; they met on the field of Gettys? burg, and freodom conquered." There may be some captions oritios, the Balti? more Sun remarks, who, on purely his? torical grounds, will object to the truth? fulness of the antithesis thus tersely stated, and of tho parallelism sought to be established between the men and ideas of 1620 and of 1870. They may even presume to question whether tho issues which "the field of Gettysburg" is supposed to have decided are correctly stated. Mr. Frederick Douglass, the popular colored orator, at a rocont cele? bration of the same kind, based his claim to participate upon the well-known historical fact that the Mayflower, which brought over the Pilgrims, was subse? quently employed by her Puritan owners io bringing over a cargo of slaves. From one of these latter and involuntary "pil? grims," Mr. Douglass claimed to bo lin? eally descended, and to have therefore at least an equal interest in tho May? flower with any son of Now England. That the descendants of tho Pilgrims had far moro to do with the introduction and establishment of slavery iu this country than the descendants of the Cavaliers, no oue with the slightest knowledge of colouial history will pretend to deny. It is not improbable even that among those who drank to tho toast wo havo quoted, there wero some whose ancestors had at? tained to both wealth aud social position in the good town of Boston in tho olden time by their successful participation in the traffic in human flesh. Equally preposterous is the further suggestion, that tho two armies which fought at Gettysburg were, in the sense indicated, the representatives of the mon who lauded at Plymouth and nt James? town. On the Southern side were min? gled tho descendants of tho Huguenots of South Caroliun, the sturdy Scotch Irish of North Carolina and Tennessee, and the French of Louisiana, with Geor? gians, Mississippians and Virginians; and we presumo that the men of New York, of New Jersey, of Pennsylvania and tho West, tho men of Irish and Ger? man blood and lineage, had quito as large a share in General Meade's victory os the .New England regiments which participated. Wo forbear tho further iuquiry as to what proportion of those who took the liberal bounties offered by tho New England towns, aud filled up tho ranks of tho regiments nominally recruited iu thoso States, hud any affini? ty in race, feeling or faith with the Pilgrim fathers. Our object is not to opou old sores, but simply to protest anew against tho attempt to couvert thc results'br4 tho War into a mere sectional and seotariau triumph, by menus of a deliberate falsification of the facts of history. -With as much truth and reason might our.Now Eqgluud friends substi? tuto'for i"Pilgrims" and "Cavaliers," "Puritans" . and "Episcopalians," and claim the result at Gettysburg as u vin? dication of"the do'oirjues of John Calvin and of Prcsby terian or Congregationalist ideas of church government.'

NEQUO RULE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.-Of the four members to Congress elected iu Smith Caroliua, a few days ago, three ure negroes, and one is a white mau, meaner thau the meanest negro. What? ever the faults of tho white people of the State might bo, it is undeniable that they aro among tho most respectable and intellectual in tho country. Is it not humiliating to every American to see them ruled by a horde of ignorant, half barbarous negroes? Do not the peoplo of tho North fuel indignant at the fuct that their presont condition hus been brought about by the terrorism exercised over them by armed mobs of savages, backed by the Federal military aud civil authorities. Let tho people of South Carolina bear their ills with patieuce and dignity. Two years heneo the voters of the Northern States will prove to them that when they reduced tho Stato to sub? jection to the Union, they had no inten? tion whatever of placing them ut the mercy of penniless, unlettered negroes. [Philadelphia Keening Bulletin. A party of hunters, who lately pene? trated to tho interior of a cave ou Beaver Creek, near Glasgow, Ky., in pursuit of a fox, were rewarded for their trouble by tho discovery of an oblong chamber, eighteen feet in length, cut out of thu solid rock, and containing the crumbling remains of ten human beings. The Glasgow Times behoves that tho cave must havo been, at one time, used by a gang of murderers. "Within a few days past," says tho Times, "wo have heard of a number of persons-mostly tra? velers-who, many years ago, disap? peared whilo in this section of country, and were never afterward heard of. One instance is remembered where a horse and buggy, belonging to a traveler from Virginia, were fouud loose upon tho roatl nour this cave, its owner missing and never heard from." HvKNA-LlKE.-Tho Missouri Republi? can scorches tho rabid Senatorial hypo? crites thus: "The arrogant und relentless malig? nity exhibited by the moro rancorous of tho Radical Senators in the debate on thu McCreery resolution, ought to con? vince every one that there eau bo no real peace in any political fold of which such .hyenas aro th-"? guardians. But when tho instinct of il:?ir nature led them to dig up the burie, (U-ud, they merely dug their own political graves, iu which a people yearning for perfect reconcilia? tion will iu duo season bury them." The greeting of Georgia to President Grant comes this morning iu the shape of a sweeping Democratic triumph. We have carried certainly four, and probably live, of tho Congressional Districts of thc Slate; and there is little doubt that wo have sccurod a majority of at least two-thirds iu tho Logislature. Tho Era piio Stato of tho South thus gallantly seconds tho Empire Stato of tho North in thu new campuigu for the restoration of free and constitutional government. Bayonets indeed make ballots, but they make them not for but against those who use tho bayonets.-New York World. LOUD BYRON.-Tho London papers uuuoimco tho death of George Anson Hy ron, eighth Barou Byron of Rochdale, County of Lancaster, lie was born on tho 30th of Juno, 1818, and succeeded his father ou tho 1st of March, 18GH. His father, it will bo remembered, was the cousiu and successor of tho cele? brated poet. Tho deceased served for a timo in the British army, but retired in 1843. Ho was married, but died child? less. The now Baron Byron is a lad of fifteen years, tho eldest sou of tho late Frederick Byron, M. A., barrister nt law, who was tho brother of the deceased peer, ami who died in 1861. - . . - A Boston man said his minister said, "Grant, wo beseech thee," so much during a recent prayer, that it wasn't plain whether lie was advising tho Lord, or going for tho President for a post office. Tho mau got disgusted aud left the church. A San Francisco juryman was argued into au agreement with tho other eleven, by a six-shooter in tho bauds of the foreman. Hu told the Judge, though, it was the lust time ho would sit o? a jury outside of a monitor. A few years ago, Detroit was worriod about the lizards that flowed through the city water pipes, but Brooklyn has improved on that by extracting 18P cols, from ono,to two foot long, from tho pipe? tho1 psst summer. New Orlen ta was marked on tho 10th inst, by a notable event-no lf?s? (han the presentation by General LonfiHreefc Of a State flag to the Hut P.sgimcSfc of Louisiaua Artillery. Hon. T. J. ?emmetj, once a member of "the Confederate States Senate, responding in behalf, of the or? ganization'/ The addresses on the ooca eiou we publish elsewhere, and from them may be seen the exact degree of rancorous, vampire-life and wolfish ani? mosity to tho great heart of the nation manifested nt this Confederate reuuiou -for nooh it was. With au ex-Confede? rate Lieuteriaot-Geuerul presenting a State flag to a regiment made np in great part of the old Washiugtou Ar? tillery of Now Orleans, aud with an old secession leader, a compeer of Slidell and Benjamin, acknowledging the re? ceipt of the pelicau banner, we should look for an immense outflow of rebel gall; but, coming to the facts, hore is Mr. Longstreet perfecting a State militia organization "on the side of peace and order,'* and Mr. Semmes responding in behalf of such organization that its effort is to "manifest zeal in tho performance of present duties, irrespective of parties or political considerations, and in op? position to sentimental emotions, gene? rated by past associations." Wo may bo wrong, but it seems thero might bu a little more acccptuuoo of tho situation here and a groat deal less venom than thero waa in Congress thu other day, when ont; mau roared for a hundred rebel funeral^ aud another went raking around British gibbets to know just, how littlunmuesty to give.-New York World. ADVENTURES OF A YOUNO IIUSUMAN*. Au adventurous young Irishman in Ore? gon gives tho following brief .-.ketch of his doiugs in tho Pacific States: "I have not been here quito a yeor, and seo what 1 have done: First, I wrote poetry for a cheap monthly, at two dol? lars a column. This did not pay. I then started a military company, and was elected Captain, married au heiress, aud became editor and part owuer of a California daily paper, was made Presi? dent cf a Temperance Society and o Poultry Associatiou. Sold out, bought a shuro io a circus compauy, moved to? ward the Saudwioh Isluuds, mutinied on tho way, lost ull the horses and ropes, and saved ouly 8100 out of the enter? prise. My wife died, and now 1 om married a second time, aud living very comfortably on a farm." The levoling of un ancient Indian mound near St. Louis, a few days since, brought to light the bones of three races; first, those of tho whites; sccoud, of tho Indians, and last, ol thu ancient mound builders. Tho mound was originally forty feet iu height, oval in shape, ami about 300 feot in length. About twenty years ago, there was a house ou top of lt, and a grave-yard on tho side. Prof. Marsh, of Yule College, who was present on the occasion of exhumation, secured about thirty skulls of the mound build? ers, only one, however, in a perfect state. Those wero found in two vaults, ono a square structure, tho other of erencent form, and both about fifty feet across. - NORTH AND SOUTH.-Thero are true meu, and mauy of them, even in Massa? chusetts. One of the very truest is Hon. Georgo Lnnt, editor of tho Boston Courier. Ho thus writes in a recent is? sue of his excellent journal : "When wo read the virulent, vindic? tive, uncalled for attacks upou General Leo's character und motives by Kadioa] writers and speakers, and know how largely a spirit of personal animosity ex? isted at ttio North, prior to the war, und contributed to its outbreak, it is no wou der that ho and his associates should have felt reluotaut to continue our coun? trymen. " Mark Twain writes tba following an swer to a correspondent: "Young Au? thor-Yes, Agassiz does recommend authors to eat fish, because tho phos? phorus in it makes bruins. So far you ure correct. But I cm not help you ti a decision about thc amount you need to eat-at least, not with certainty, ll tho specimen composition you send if about your fair, usual uvernge, I shoulc judge that perhaps a couple of windet would bo all yon would want for till present. Not the largest kind, but sim ply good middling sized whales." A young lady, of great pretensions near Cincinnati, gave out last summei that she was going to visit an aunt a Detroit, and accompany her to Saratoga but after a while it leaked out lhat sin wont ns domestic in the family of i Colonel in tho regular army. And re ceutly, tho Colonel visited her at he house, to look up sumo missing property of his wife's, and found several boudna dollars' worth ul rieh jewelry and cloth ing iu her possession, which sho hui .stolon. A MODEL WIFE FOR A Toon MAN.-? Philadelphia despatch, dated the 20tl iust., says: A woman in Fairmount, ci Saturday night, gave birth to fuur chil dren. Tho mother is a respectable wo mau, in humble circumstances, fc-io t now tho mottler of thirteen doloren and has previously had three puns o twins. Tho neighbors, very properly have made up a subscription in her bc half. A suit of thirteen years' litigatioi ugaiust tho New York Central Bailroai luis just been terminated at lloeh?stei Thu complainant lost his leg through in juries sustained in crossing thu track, un tho question was raised for the defouc whet uer ho should not take all risks at tendant upon his carelessness; $12,00 and costa were awarded him. Tho dwelling of Mr. J. Mah tn, in Au gusta, Ga., was destroyed by fire on th morning of tho 25lh. The adjacon dwelling, occupied by Messrs. D. & J O'Connor, waa also partially injured. South America has four full blown an healthy organized revolutions in prc gross. INGENI?OS 8tiuoaiANO.-Aningonioiio method of smuggling has just been de? tected. io New York, io which emigrants ?fe iojp?eaced, bat wbetber knowingly or not, does not appear. This fraudu? lent evasion of customs consistid io sending to this country thousands of dollars' worth of trainable silks and Lyons velvetH, wbiob were brought from Ireland in the boxes of tbe emigrants, which were furnished with fulse bottoms, in which the smuggled goods were placed. Those goods wero first smug? gled iuto Ireland from Franco. The boxes used in the smuggling operations were made and sold to emigrants nt reduced prices, by a large truuk manu? facturer of Belfast, and the silks were doubtless placed in the false bottoms before they were sold to thu emigrants. Before starting for this couutry, tho emigrants were recommended to go, on their arrival in New Yoik, to certain emigrants' boarding-houses, in West street, and when they arrived there it was a simple matter to remove tho smug? gled goods and replace tho false bot? toms. It is cstitnntod that the United .Staten Government hus lost not less than $250,000 in gold by this cheutiug of the custom houso. Tho bnsiucss bus nlso been carried on with Baltimore, it is said. The goods thus smuggled, on arriving iu Now York, were remove 1 to t wo wholesale houses on Broadway, who were thus enabled to std! hue bilks and velvets at a low figure, very much under the market rates. GmiiS.-Thero aro two kinds of girl?. One is the kind that appears host abroad -the girls that are good for parties, riilt*::, visits, balls, etc., and whoso chief delight is in such things. The other is the kind that appears best at home the girl? that ure useful and cheerful in thu dining-room, sick-room, und ?ill the precincts of home. They differ widely in character. One is of leu . toniiuut ut lr.,me-tho other u blessing; one is a moth, consuming everything about her the other is a sunbeam, inspiring light and gladness all uronud her putliwuy. Thu right kind of education will modify both, and unite the good qualities of both. The other day, tho front door of tho j Tribune ofiico had to bo closed for some purpose, tin Horace wrote ou a piece of paper, "Entra?en on Spruce street," nud sent it dowu to tho mau who does the painting of tho bulletins to bo copied.
