COLUMBIA, H C. Thurs lay Morning, Jane 8, 1871. The ?VT?ft-tir Departure." .Vi '". ' The New York Herald, and other jour? nals, are speoulating aa to the course that the Democracy of the cotton States will take ir/view of tho."new departure" - of the Northern. Democracy. The He? rald is of the opinion that thero will be "m third party formed to stand aloof alike from the national Democracy and the national .Radical party, j oat as in 1838t when an independent movement waa made against both Yan Baron and Har? rison-the regular party nominees in that campaign. Theao journals will find themselves mistaken. The South can? not' afford to throw.hor Arc away; Fur? thermore, under tho stern trials of tho timesi the 3outk has becpirno moro prac? tical in her vi?Ws." She understands her present si tuition. Sho is conscious of her powers, bnt understands that she is now in no condition to.make them avail? able/ Ilonco the Southern Demoaraoy Will most probably defer to the judg? ment of their Northern allies. They Will march to the ground selected by the stronger wing of the national Democra? cy. They will oo-operate witli tho De? mocracy oven in the "new" departure" not surrendering their honest convic? tions,, but fairly standing upon those issues 'upon which it may be deemed 'proper Jo go before tho country in a struggle for- the control of the Go vortat mont at Washington. -What is known as "the new departure" of the Democracy is neither moro nor less than a necessary acknowledgment an obvions ' proposition. This, at least, is the view suggested by what we con? sider the - philosophy of tho Bc-oolled "departure." T?te, reconstruction mea sureaoj Congrega were h?t?, by the De? mocratic party tr? bo unwiqo add uojnat. Tbit opinion TS, po doubt, 'still main? tained.^ But they have bfecouio "accorn . pliehod facta"-t? ^Ru the oom mon. ex pres^lpn. What were elomepta of con? tention and debate crystallised into poBjikiVe, -binding enactments. What wore. propositions before tho country ohanged into Legislative'provisions that have the force and the oljl jgaljon of law. There has been consummated a chango in the political sttuatiou, and ia aoQom modating itself to this new condition, the Democratic .party need abate no con? viction-need sacrifice no 'principle. When now the Democratic party passes these .former issues by, and moves on to ''freshfields and. pastures new"-when it'duoides to meet its political antagonist on .i.-t?,?ii<s ?if more recent birth and not yet paused upon by the popular vote, and on issues, too, which, removed from . the recent civil non fl i et, aro likely to be fought with foVgreuter.chiipces of suc? cess--when it decides to do this; we are not prepared, to conclude that it has ehowu either a want of principle br saga? city. In'fine,'we regard "the now de? part tiru" a march ip the path of common sense and in the direction of the high? ways of success. It promises (bat uniou of Democrats and moderate Republicans whicli is tlie - ono thing needful ?or the ready relief of the country from the present party iii power. Of thia at least we thiuk we eau as Bure the New York Herald and other in? quiring journals. As between the Radi? aal party and the Democratic party, eveu on its new departure, it will not take the cotton States Democracy long to d?cide. Admitting there ia a choice of ovils, the cotton States Democrats would of course accept the loss-that is, "the now de? parture." Hence, in either point of . view, the Northern' bemocrnoy may count, upon- the co-operation of thu Southern wing of the party. In truth, we observe the indications now of South? ern D?mocratie policy. This is to leave to the North in the next canvass tho re? sponsibility for plan of campaign aud for loaders in the fight. DEPLOMATIO EXCITEMENT IN WASIUNQ ?ON.T-A Washington spooial to the New York Evening Post says: "There has been.a ripple of exoitement for some days in diplomatie' circles, in conse? quence of Mr. Oataoazy, tho Russian Minister? not having beon invited to tho State dinner given on Saturday lust to all the loreign Ministers in Washington; by Secretary Fish. - Tho matter, has occa? sioned a goad deal of talk among that olaas of people who relish 'such bits of gossip, and speculation has been rifo as to the oa?ses which led Mr. Fish to thus slight the Russian Minister:- It seo ma that for some time past tho . person aT re? lations bot weed Mr. Fish and Mr. Cat? oazy have not -been of tho warmest cha? racter, and it-'1s. how're'porfed' that for reasons,-serions in. their nature, all fur? ther social iptorcourso between them is likely td&eLjbra?ght to an ond, und that in futnr/rafjitf failure of tho Russian Mi? nister icvireopiv? an invitation to Stoto dinners ia not ip bo attributed to any oversight on tho partdf the Secretary of State." < ' ' , Gonoral Beauregard has accoptod au invitation to spend tho summer at tho White Sulphur Springs..

It says that, lyu im? patience of slow progress', and a''conse? quent resentment of compromise, con? stitute tho standing difficulty in tho pro? gress of Franco. 'The yearnings after order and peace of a nation wearied by din adjurion and disaster appear just now tn support a movement in favor of Henry V, and it is even said that tho Asflombjy, bf Versailles is prepared to ac? cept him as King. The Com tu do Cham bord lias -never manifested any disposi? tion to nbato ono jot of his hereditary pretensions.

FV Bates. \ Tbi parties w?rl bat a few feet upa'ri,.and..the gan being oharged with buck-sho^ud held almost, against tho breast oft the unfortunate do ceased, a deadly and most ghastly wound was made, causing the instant death of Hampton. Bates was standing inside his yard fence and TTampTon on tho out? side/ We learn that a party of disguised men bad -visited the house of General Bates iv few nights t)e/nf? the (Pttfuftu nate occurrence, and ho hud said to Iiis neighbors that 'Gray1 Hampton was among tho party. Hampton heard the report, as coming from Genend Bates, and on tito fatal evening went tn his -boase to disabuse hie mind of tho false impression and "lo prevent tho further circulation of the report. We leam thut this was what led to tho murder of the deceased, as the parties, previous to tho circulation of the report referred to, wera on good terms. Hampton was living with his father, who, we nre in? formed, was a tenant of General' Bated Hampton wn^ a young ' mao, about twenty-one years ot age, and is spoken of os one who was respected by those who knew him, and had many friends. Genend Bates gave himself up to thu Sheriff, and is now conhued in the jail at thia place. .> ..We also insert the followiug extracts from n communication in tho Carolina Spartan, as an act of justice to Gen. Bates. Wo used tho exact language furnished by a private letter, and cheer? fully make thc correction, as we would not, intentionally, do Gen. Bates or any other gentleman tho slightest injustice: ! "Permit me throngh your columns to correct a tulse statement iu reference to tho recent unfortunate killing of Hamp? ton by Bates, which appeared in Satur? day's PiKExrx. Tho grossest injustice is done Gen. Bates by tho statement that he is a Radical, j The General authorizes ns to state emphatically that h'o is not and never was a Radien). He is not quito as radical in his Democratic pro? clivities as some of his friends, but has always claimed to entertain the views of conservative men of tho Democratic party. He has had little to do with politics for several yearB, but has studi? ously avoided demonstrations of his political opinions, in order that he .might devote bis time and energies ex? clusively to the important task cf ex? tricating himself from pecuniary embar? rassments." ?p - - THE CoxviqxioN OP ' BOWEN.-The Washington correspondent of tho Balti? more Sun writes: The bigamy triul of ex-Cougressmon C. C. Bowen, of South Carolina, was concluded Saturday afternoon by a ver? dict of "guilty."" The closing argu? ments, made by Hon. A. G. Riddle for the defence and by District Attorney Fisher for tho prosecution, presented no points of special interest', except that during the argument ot,the former the indictment was nought for and could not be found, and the trial had to be arrest? ed until Bowen consented that a printed copy, clipped from one of tho city papers, might bo used instead. When Judge Fisher spoke of Mrs. King Bowen aa ".Mrs. Petigru King," this tacit denial of her right-to his name called Jrom her some manifestations of disapproval. At tho conclusion of tho argument Judge Olin charged tho jury that tho double ma rr in go had been proved, but thut the defence to the charge of bigamy was two-fold; brat, a previous divorce; und second, tho desertion of Bowen by his dist wife for moro .than.fi ve years. As to tho first point the jury were to judge whether the alleged divorce in Now York waa ever actually obtained, and then whether the evidence showed that Bowen was a citizen of New York at the time of thc divorce, and whether proper notioo of the suit had been given to tho wife. In regard to tho othor point, ho charged the jury that the statute relied upon by tho defence would avail Bowen nothing unless the jury believed that Bowen's first wife had deserted him, eo that after using reasonable diiigouco he could ob? tain no information of her whereabouts. A number of instructions were asked for by the defence to tho offect that Bowen wai not guilty of bigamy in marrying Mrs. King, if bis first wife had refused to livo with him more than five years previous, and be believed lier to be dead. All thoso prayers Judge Olin overruled, und tho defendant noted exceptions, Tho jury then retired, aud, after a short absence, returned into court with a ver? dict of "guilty." Mrs. King-Bo won was much overcome by tho result, aud had to bo led to tho Marshal's room. Judge Olin announced that as the case would go up to the general term, on excoptious, he would, whilo the case was being re? viewed, admit Bowen to bail in the sum of $2,000. Bowen soon afterwards se? cured Mr. Horace.S. Johnson as his bail, und was released. .

A DEAD HERO.-Martin Cooney is the name of a boy who, deep down in the horrid depths of the Pittston mine, per? formed a deed of heroic self-sacrifice which shames into insignificance the ac? tions by which many happier men have climbed fame and honor. Cooney and ti aompnuiou stood nt tho bottom of thc shaft, as tho car was about to ascend foi tho last timo. High abovo them, roar? ing flames aud blinding smoke, and thc crash of falling timbers, were fast clos ing up the narrow way to light and life below them, in the gloomy pit, were f score of men, working ou, uueonscioiu of their deadly peril. Cooney, with out foot upon tho car, thought of his endan? gered friends. Ho proposed to his com panions that they should return, a nc warn tho miners of their threatened fate His companion refused to go, nud thei Cooney, without a moment's hesitation but with full consciousness that ho hoc chosen almost certain death, leaped fron the cor, and groped his way back throng] the grimy darkness. It waa too late tho minors bad closed the venlilntinj door beforo be reached them ; and standing there between that immovabl< barrier and thc shaft, tho hot breath o tho fiery pit poured in upon him in i pitiless blast, and so ho died. Ho wa but a lad-poor, unlearned, and proba bly unconscious of possct<6?ou of th< higher virtues-and yet ho died as grea and noble a death as a man can ever die he deliberately sacrificed his own life ii an attempt to save tho.se of his friends Here is a theme fur thc most cxaltei poetic genius. Compared with this poo boy, how quickly do the profane nui slangy heroes of the coarse poetasters c the Hay school sink into contempt ; nu how unworthy and insufficient seems th fiction in which they are placed ! It i from such persons'os this poor and oh score lad, doing deeds of infinite hero ism with a simplicity that is altogethe pathetic, that we learn that tho pnre and higher qualities of tho nice-Iii qualities which reveal tho presence o thc ppark of divinity in tho soul-exis oven yet in tho humblest of mankind. [Philadelphia Bulletin. ? ? ? Ci ncr M s TANTI A v TESTIMONY,-It bo been often said with truth that there ar certain kinds of circumstantial tcstimon that aro quite as convincing and les liable to err than even what is oallei positive evidonce. The caso of Rullof the learned murderer, lately executed n Binghamton, N. Y., is a proof of thii A burglary was committed on tho nigh of tho Kith of August, 1S70, at L?iup hamton, in the storo of Mrs. Hailed; attended with the death of Mr. Merriot one of tho clerks, who wus shot by on of tho robbers. Tho burglars escaped leaving behind thom, among othc things, a pair of shoes, ono of which wn ill shaped, and fitted, bj' long wear, to deformed left foot.

It must have been,' however, that some evjl dreg was in her nature, for she, soon after returning to ber homo, abandoned the innooenco nnd elegance of her homo for tho vicious lifo of a cyprian, '. At the timo of tho Federal occupation she was 'in tho zenith of" h'er 'beauty, and soon brought around her a coterie of ad? mirers. So infatuated did a young lieu? tenant become of her that he made her his wife, and returning North.I-.- intro? duced her again to tho society of which she could no easily become au-ornament. But tho wickedness in ber nature, inhe? rent or acquired, Boon asserted its ! sapremucy, and she again went' back into her old pnth of sin. The scandal she caused in a Northern city it is uselass to repeat hero. Suffice it to say, her husband in de? ann ii- committed suicide, and infinite distress was brought upon his family. She went to Washington, and was nota j bio there for her fascination and coquet? ry, nnd at one time exercised a controll? ing influence in ono of the departments of state. To obtain her favor was al? most equal.to having any measure passed through tho nationnl legislature Bat after a while she disappeared from the capital and returned to her home.' Here her old life was resumed, and a career of brilliant dissipation has ended in her deatb. She was a tall, slender lady, of splen? did physical development and imposing presence. Sho had full black eyes, and hair that fell around her shoulders like a shower of golden fleece. Her face was fair nnd fresh, and vied in its beauty with the lily and tho roHe. Her banda and nrms were models of elegance and symmetry. She was fascinating, allur? ing und accomplished, of violent pas? sions, impulsive and headstrong, and yet, when she chose to be, as wily, as tho serpent.
