COLUMBIA, S. C. 8nnday Morning, January 15,1871^ DETOSED SOVEREIGNS.-Europe at pre? sent shows the criminality of educating one's son to "the offioe of a fowl" whioh only soars to fall again to earth, making them more miserable and discontented from having tasted the sweets of spaco in tho upper air. The number of de? posed sovereigns, or the legitimate heirs of sovereignty, now running about with? out sceptres, is remarkably large, and many of them are reported to be actual? ly suffering for tho necessaries of life. At the head of the list, because of his extreme poverty, stands George, the blind King of Hanover, who was de? throned by Prussia in 1866. There is Prince Wasa, who represents the origi? nal royalty of Sweden, replaced by that of Bernadotte, and is a descendant of Gustavus Adolphus. There aro the Comte de Chambord, representing the Bourbon, and tho Comte de Paris, head of the Orleans dynnsty of France. There is Napoleon III, dethroned at Parts, on September 4,1870. There is the oldest son of Don Miguel, (uncle of the late Queen Maria H, da Gloria,) who was King of Portugal for a short time in 1828. There is Uuko Charles of Bruns? wick, who was deposed and succeeded by his brother in 1830. There are the King and .Queen of Naples, and the respectivo ex-rulers of Lombardy, Parma "and Mo dona. There are Don Carlos. Isabella TI, and little King Alfonso, of Spain. The Pope, who has been deprived of bis temporalities, may, in some respects, be entitled to a place among the crownless, but as long as he continues the head of the oldest and most numerous Christian body, be cannot be said to be without a sceptre. , . "LOOKING TO THE FUTURE."-Most heartily do we endorse the following sentiment, as expressed by the New Or? leans Times. The spirit is high: There is no habit of miud moro com? mon than this. Pondering on coming evonts-striving by every conceivable precaution, and well-matured course of notion, to avert evil and secure good has been considered proof of sagacity and wiso foresight. lu tho main, such may be fact, but we still believo that much time and anxiety so expended were better given to instant and determinate action. Quickness of percoptiou, cou? pled with resoluto performance-tho in? telligence to comprehend, the nerve to execute, belong only to greatly practical minds. Timidity lingers so long over obstacles, and shrinks so sensitively from difficul? ties, that a long train of confused specu? lations end in nothing. So nothing is attained, and the poor feeble waverer finds, too late, that time and tide are lost. The syren song of exaggerated precaution has lost him his opportunity -inexorable fate closes her account the harvest is past, the summer is ended -hesitation has been his ruin-he has pondered on the future which God does not permit us to explore, till the present, the only time whioh we can justly call our own, has beeu squandered in irreso? lution-surest proof of a feeble soul, ^ranting that grand self-reliance which makes not only heroes, in a Pagan sense, but Christian heroes of far higher typo. Under Heaven's high dooroo man's character depends on his own deliberate sets. Once decided on a line of conduct proper to be pursued, manliness, princi? ple, honor and justice, call on him to pursue it unswervingly. If he be faint? hearted und vacillating iet him enter on no high omprize, but jog on iu the beat? en path with inferiority. Futurity is with God, who setteth up and casteth down, iu bis sovereign wisdom. "Which of you, by taking thought, can add a cubit to his stature?" ShujHing lime-serving and evasion, belong not to greatness or integrity. The whiteness of man's soid is spotted by subterfuge and de? ception. Irresolution nover stains tho virtue of honest mon. As they think they speak; as thoy speak they act, (so said Osceola, an un-Christiauizod sav? age,) and his noble sincerity might put to the blush some who claim better light and far higher instruction. The best safeguard against future ill and remorse, will always be found in open dealing, hon? orable, resolve and brave action. Wo do not udvooato rushness. Only hasty and inconsiderate people yield to its momentary suggestions; nevertheless, au honest impulse, however ill-judged, is sooner to bo forgiven than that frozen policy which wears out life, striving to compass futurity, and loaves the foolish casuist, aud all who havo vainly trusted him, dismal wrecks on tho shoals of time. Adversity cannot subdue the virtuous threatened poverty cannot scare them from tho path of rectitude. They anchor their hopos high above worldfv change and sorrow-tho rock of ages is their shield and they say to a vain spirit of conjecture, "peace, be still!'' This argument is scriptural-who, therefore, shall pronounce it illogical? It should bo our aim so to improve the present that remorse belongs not to our dread futurity either on earth or in tin eternal state of existenco. A San Francisco undertaker claims to havo discovered a now method of pre? serving tho doad huinau body. By his process lie petrifies it. Ile exhibits a body that bo petrified iu July, 1868. and it exhibits no signs of decay. Whcu struck, says the. editor of the Morning Call, it give.? out "a ringing, metallic sound." Tho color of tho llesh is not changed. Atter m. Storm there le ? Calm. MB. EDITOB: Some two weeks ago, tho militia wore from ?un dowe to day? light, every night, firing around our little village of Union. No one could soundly and sweetly sleep, especially our female portion of the coinmuuity. There was a residence above town, on tho Spartanburg road, one Juue Mob ley's, where these organized bands of militia soomed to concentrate and annoy ns. They cautiously approached the house of Mr. J. H. Gallman, a white man nnd a good citizen, in the deep hours of tho night, and fired upon him, lodging two balls in the bed where his little niece lay, fortunately haning no ono. A short timo after this, they fired upon Mr. Tom Hughes, a white man, and frightened him and his wife to extreme. Shortly after this, they attacked poor one-armed Mat. Stephens in the road, and brutally murdered him, throwing his dead body over tho fence in conceal? ment. Tho good citizens of our village un? dertook to ferret out this brutal murder, and with the authorities of tho law, commencod making arrests. Mr. Dan? iel Smith, white, while in the discharge of his duties as deputy, was fired upon and killed. Up to this time, two white men were murdered, and nineteen mili? tia were put in jail, of whom some have confessed, and a majority of thom will be conviotod. Unfortunately for us, two nights afterwards some banditti nnknown, who are called Kn Klux, sur? rounded tho jail, took out five of those implicated in the murder, shot two to death, about a mile above town, and wounded the other three, who are now in jail-one of them mortally wounded, who has confessed his guilt. Our law abiding citizens, who are certainly in majority in this vicinity, deplore this 8tato of things, and have since used every vigilance to prevent such disasters. Now we have peace and qniet to per? fection. We bear no more militia guns. Tho night is not made hideous by fiends. We condemn the Ku Klux, both white and black, but it bas terminated, wo think, in a small fight between ex? tremists-two whites killed first, and tjirco freedmen. Wo do not think mar? tial law ought to be declared in this County, because of tho few who do wrong. If martial law should be de? clared, all farming interests and business operations must be paralyzed to such au extent it will ruin both white and colored. Wo soo that our Representative, Mr. Mobley-"tfian whom a greater skunk never lived"-wishes to force the Go? vernor to visit our community. If tho Governor will visit us, we will meet him nt any point designated, and surround him with our best citizens and weloome him in Union, where he will learn the true state of things. We will be glad to sec him, and will gnaranteo him safety and protection. A VOICE FROM UNION. Gossip from the national capital dis? closes deep-seated anxiety and alarm on the part of the Radical leaders nt thc prospects that tho Democrats, from pre? sent appearances, are sure to carry every Southern State in tho next Presidential election, except, perhaps, South Caroli? na, and a lively planning of means to bring them again within tho Republican fold. This was the animus of Morton's resolution just before the recess, calling upon the President for information as to tho recent alleged defiance of United States laws in North Carolina and other Statos. Tho expected special message of tho President is to be in the same vein, representing the people unfit for amnesty, and more hostile to the Go? vernment than at any time since the war, and asking authority to send the troops into any State at will to enforce the laws-a Radioal euphemism for controll? ing tho elections. The return of Ahor? man from Georgia, and his report |on the prospects there, are awaited with muon interest, and will doubtless affect tho plan of some of the leading Radicals for reconstructing not ouly Georgia, but Florida, Alabama and North Carolina. <o ? ? A correspondent of tho New York He? rald, writing from Versailles, says: "There was a fire at St. Cloud, in which 120 villas wore burned. These villas were strategical obstacles, and as the process of demolishing them was too slow for the impatient commander of thc lino of dofenco, which they impeded, he ordered them to bo burned-a pro? ceeding which had tho doublo advantage of being speedy and also of giving us a prospect of materials for a sensational letter-alas! to be destroyed by tho simple history of the facts. It was only war. Thc houses were in tho wa}' and they must bo got out of the way. They had been tho happy homos of 120 fami? lies. But what of that?" TUE CUSTOMS OF TUB COUNTRY.-Mex? ico is a cheerful country for lovers of peace and quietness. There is scarcely a time whoo ono or moro of it3 States is not in insurrection. Just now, Guerre? ro, with a population of 270,000, is hav? ing n sensation. One Genera! Alvarez has placed himself ut tho head of the re? volutionists, and proposes to oust the legally-elected Governor. With unpa? ralleled cheek, ho has issued a proclama? tion staling that he desires the "estab? lishment of order," kc, and invites tho regular froops of the Government to lay down their arms and "return to the bo? som uf their families;'"' which would be very clever in tho troops and very con? venient, no doubt, to the ambitious de? signs of Alvarez. But this is a very ? common way there of electing one's self I to tho Gubernatorial chair. Milton Robertson has been appointed postmaster of Laurens. Mr. D. A. Ri? chardson has been elected Intendant and Messrs. A. W. Kruse, R. E. Richardson, W. F. Beard, W. H. Garrett, Wardens. ?.KGSSIjiVriVB PROCBBDISGB. ^ . SATUBDAY, JAITOABY 14,1871. SENATE.
