JBLt&p?u^. ^Powers. -VFbe Louiaville Gfatrier-Journal considers it very "signi fioant that the Republicans ore bringing all their gana to bear ou what they are pleased to stylo 'the now departure.' Th? New York Tribune, the leader of the Republican press, employs a correspond? ent. at s hau Jeomo salary, to interview every oonBpioaous hot-head in the South, that nia insana babbling may be tnrned to account, and every dilly utterance of obscura and uoiofiuential publications that are hanging to the. skirts of the Demnoratio party ia copied by Repobli oan journals and magnified into an ex pression of public opinion. Everything that'can bo tortured into a semblanoo of opposition to the Constitutional amend? ments ia heralded in capitals in Republi? cen newspapers and doon monts, and not one word ia loat upon their gullible isad? ora." Tho facts abo YO stated admonish os of the importance of observing a dis? creet propriety in all of oar utterances, if we wish well to oar allies at the North and to ourselves-. "With proper manage? ment on the part of tho Democratic party, and a wise reticence on the part of those Southern journals and politicians Shat are naturally in sympathy with it, there will be hardly tho ghost of a . chanco for tho Radical' conspirators nt tho next Presidential election.

It seems that the cotton interests < Brazil are on the dooli no. While tl exports of this ?tapl? from Rio Janeta in 1868, amounted to 113.105 bales, th< were, in 1809, only 45,005 balea-i enormous falling off-which waa forth reduced in 1870, when the exports fro that port were, only 17,910 (Braziliai bales. The exports ol cotton from Sai tbs dariDg last year Were 248.727 arr ba?,'equal to about 18,280 bales of 41 poonda, which, added to the 17,910 bul from Rio, makes a total export of cottc from Brasil, ipr. 1870, of 36,190 Braz ian bales, which is lees, in weight tin 28,000 Americanabalea.

BrnUTKD GERMANG IRLS.-A charming way to ring/out aw old ?aahiou and ring io a new was that adopted by ; ?orno young ladies of Berli D with roferenco to the obigQ?D. TU? national apilit now at white, heat in Germany is, if anything, more ardent among the women than tho men, as iudeed i' a?*ays has boon and will bo the world over. So tho fuir pa? triots resolve to reflect more of tho Ger? man nationality in their dresa aud aban? don and hoocofortb, ignore Freuoh fashions, but moro especially tho really odious obiguou. Aooordiugly the sixty young ladies, daughters of the wealthiest citizens, who were selected to welcome tho returning army at the Bradenburg Gato, had a meeting in whiob tho ques? tion of their attire was settled. It waa that of Margar ot in Kan 1 boob's sketch of hor first meeting -vi th Faust, whiob bas been thoroughly identified with tho Ger? man maiden: in all art und especially familiarized of late by the "Marguerites" of tho Btu ge. Two plaits of their own hair bunging down the buck wus to be iudispeuBuble, aud they were pledged mutually and to the municipal authori? ties en no account to uso false huir. These sixty wealthy young ladies otight certainly to be more than a match for ono Empress, and she nor so much of an Empress as she was, and they will re? ceive the congratulations of tho entire world if they carry tho day against false hair. A cabio despatch has already men? tioned the discovery and frustration ot a plot to kill the Pope, oonoootod by men connected with the International Society of Paria, London and Florence. A let? ter from London, of June 20, gives fur i ther details of this contemplated atro? city. The Pope waa to have boon killed on tho 19th of that month, as be MOB proceeding along ono of the corridors of .the Vatican to celebrate mass in the Sistine Chapel. Attention was first drawn to tho plot through a wager laid against tho duration of tho Pope's life, aud visits of numerous suspicions charac? ters to' the Vatican, on the pretext of seeing membors of the household. A number of-the Communie ts aro believed to have arrived in Borne. Foreigners'.of a low class have exchanged an extraordi? nary number of 100-frano French gold pieces. Th OHO desiring the- Pope's lifo assert bim to be the sole remaining rep? resentative and the only exponent of legitimate authority oh the earth.- With bis removal, they think that political chaos will ensue. A COLORED PRIEST IN TRINITY CHURCH. Tho "new departure" was realized nud exemplified at Trinity, for the congrega? tion there assembled looked with sur? prise at a oolored brother wearing priest? ly robes and assisting the surpliced band around tho altar. Tho service pro? gressed, still the dark-hued man conti? nued, and af tor'the commandments had been responded to, even to tho last, which is a literal rendering of the great compendium of the second half of the decalogue, tho Rev. J. B. Love, a deacon of the diocese of Florida, ascended the steps and stood before the sacred desk. He is here to find aid for bis missionary work among the colored race ia bis own lund,'and preached yery sensibly in re? ference to that Bubjoct. During the communion services;,following bia dis? course, Mr. Love, officiated, nud was afterwards congratulated by many upon bis very effect i ve sermon. \Ncw lork Cor. Washington Patriot. COLOMBIA FEMALE COLLEGE.- The cunniug rumor that this institution.is to be sold in September, ia without autho? rity, and we opine, without a good mo? tive. We bad hoped to hear, ero this, of something definite on the part of the Trastees, who were empowered at the last Conference to open, if practicable, tho institution for education as soon after the expiration of tbe present lease au might be found practicable. Those who have the matter in band will not, we hope, suffer the rumoring and ma nconvering of auy person outside or inside, who pretend to be friendly to the opening of the college, to baflto them in the prompt and prudent execution of tho trust placed in their bands. [Christian Neighbor. ^ ? ? -- TUE JULY COURT.-Owing to our Jury Commissioner having not been con? firmed by tho Senate, the juries drawn are illegal. No case can, in consequence, bo tried at tho court to be held next week in which a jury is necessary. None summoned as grand or petit jurors need attend. Nor need any party or witness in any criminal case come to the eourt. The foregoing may bo relied on as au? thoritative. If tho Governor does not convene the Senate in extra session, wo can have no juries until March term, 1872.- Winnsboro News. THE BOTTOM DROPPED OUT.-Recently tho Morris Oanal, at one point in New Jersey, it will be recollected, underwent a serions accident, by reason of tho bottom apparently dropping out of it. Tho wholo underground lime-stone coun? try of New Jersey and Pennsylvania is perforated with oaves, whiob every now and then lot fall their roofs, and reveal subterranean lakes and rivers, into one of whiob the canal water, has, aa a matter of course, boen drained. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer says it ia estimated that each Ku Klux witness costa the country about $250 and many of them much more, BO that tbe temptation to visit tbe capital at the publio cost is suf? ficient for wandering carpetbaggers, vi? cious negroes, or low scalawags, who form the staple of tboso called here on the Radical sido from the South. Over $30,000 bave thus far boen expended. A correspondent of tho Bangor Whig writes that a horse and cow. bad a pitoli ed battle Sunday in a field. Tho cow hooked the horse, making a wound four inches iu leugtb; tho horse kicked tho cow in tho hoad, instanMly killing her. A remarkable triumph of surgical skill ir?chronicled ia tho Louisville papers. A fe? weeks ago a boy, abc years ol ago, while, playing on the .otairwov of lb? Galt House, fell a distance of seventy feet, alighting upon a atone floor, from whioh be waa raised apparently a lifeless, shapeless mass. ID tue course of his fall be struck a projecting corner of tho staircase, breaking an inoh board across the grain, and further down he Btruck and broke nu oak baluster an inch io di? ameter. Numerous fraotious and n ter? rible scalp wound were produced by this frightful f?ll. The right arm was crushed into pieces above and below the elbow, both legs woro broken ut ur near the auklc joints, and innumorablecontusions wore received all ovor ths body. Not? withstanding theso dreadful injuries, under skillful surgical caro thc child uot only recovered, but now has a perfect uno of all his limbs. A stranger -ont to church nt Middle towu, Conn., ou a Sunday recently, nud sut down in a pew, whuu, just its he wits gettiug interested iu tho sermon, a rough looking, pious ohurch member came in and took bim by tho collar nud threw him into the vestibule. He thought ho would stay there and hoar the rest of tbe sermon, when the neston kicked him tiff the steps. He went to tho sido of tho church to listen to tho sermon through tho window, when ono of the members said "Amen" to something tho minister said, aud then spit tobacco juice out of the window into the listener's eyes. He snys a man can't, enjoy much religion at Middletown. COMMISSIONER CAPRON BOUND FOR JAPAN.-The New York Herald says it is understood that Hon. Horace Capron, Commissioner of Agriculture, has ac? cepted an offer of $20,000 per annora to proceed to Jupan for the purpose of de? veloping the agricultural resources of the island of Icsso. Difficulties are constantly occurring between the white and colored boys, in the vicinity of Savannah, Go. Ou Sun? day last, during one of these skirmishes, a colored boy, named George Rose, was killed. The corouerV jury, after inquir? ing into the matter, returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. IUPERIAIJ PRESENT.-Sixteen Chaeso- ] pota.'-from among thoBO captured by the German forces from the French, pre? sented by Emperor ' "William to the Sch?tzen Corps of . this city, have'ar? rived here and are in the Custom House, and will be taken possession of by the reci pients. - Charleston Co ur ?er.

Tho death of DU. WM. REYNOLDS, which occurred on tho 28th nit., has caused a vuid in thia community thal by many will be long and sensibly felt. No one baa cvor passed away from among us whoso prosenco was more familiar to all classes of our people; and who, if not universally, waa, at least, very generally respected. None contd deny him tho possession of ninnyJiterliug qualities of mind and lionet! which .could uot but se? cure esteem-qualities not bo common aa to escape observation, nor of each little practi? cal worth au to fail to commend lum, in public and in privat e, to a high degreo of regard, if uot of admiration. His character was alto gather a strong ono, and its chief elements were an utter absence of duplicity, an usually correct conception and maintenance oft honorablo principles, and a loathing abhor? rence of everything low, tricky, sordid or avaricious. lt waa such constituents ns theso, associated wilb a constitutionally warm and excitablo temperament, which im? pulsively led him indignantly to rebuko any exhibition of meanness tuite faco, and by tho pungcuoy of bia strictures to incur, at times, moro or leas disploasuro. Rut tho trait which waa auflicient to redeem tho faults and in ?rmitiea of disposition, from which bo may not havo been exempt, w as the largeness of his heart-his expansivo and self-sacrificing benevqlenco-causing bia doora to ho thrown wide open, bia tabla to bo aproad, aud bia means, even beyond bia ability, to bo dis? pensed, not only for the impoverished of bia owu circle of acquaintauco or respectability, but for any and every poor or ohs mr? ?tranger iu need of assis tuneo and sin lt or, who might casually havo como under his observation. In tho domestic affections, none excelled him In fidelity, tenderness and love. Aa a friend, he had no eupoiiur, in point of the firmness and constancy of his attachment. Aa a citizeu of Columbia, ho was ever reidy, aa far as was in his power, to aid in tho pro? motion of bor welfare. And as a South Caro? linian, by adoption, bo was truo to the State in her prosperity and continued, until death, an unalterable and sympathizing adherent to her in tho days -of her adversity. But the crowning glory of hia life waa bia steadfast and aincere, though unostentatious profession of tho gospel of Christ, and bia love for tho church of which he bad boen for aoveral years a worthy communicant, iu tho anrvice of whioh ho long bore a conspicuous and useful part aa a vost ry man, and a dolegatotoher an? nual conventions, and of whose "Heavenly ways and norcot communion," and time-honor? ed principles and usages, ho could brook no change.

About tho clono sf tho yoar 1828, he arriyed iu Camdon, S. G., where au nocla and elder brother, with many otbor relativos resided. At tho latter place ho resumed bia studies in medicino, and about tho year 1830, he gradu? ated at tho Medical University of Pennsylva? nia. For a period of ten years ho practiced hie profession roost suocoasfully at Camden, and secured a largo sharo of tho confidence of tho citizens of Kershaw. Abont thia time ho visited Europo with his family, ami while in his nativo laud he studied and made himself maator of tho principles of the science of den? tistry, to the practico of which tho years of his subsequent life woro dovotod. Ho remov? ed to Columbia iu the y?ar 1.840, where, since that timo, ho had resided to tbe day of his doooaae, and where, in tho oemetory of : nul? ty Church, (tho church in which ho always worshipped,) bis honored rennins roposi?,hi hopo of t% joyful resurrection.

About 6 o'clock, the different colored companies appear? ed, in full nniform, and paraded through the principal streets, headed by Thomp? son's band.

Then followed an elo? quent address, by Attorney-General Coamberlain-which exhibited great dopth of thought and careful study of his subject. Senator Scott, of Pennsyl? vania, (of tho Kn Klux Committee,) gave the colored people some excellent advice; telling them, among other things, that tho right of suffrage which had been bestowed on them, was merely ac experiment, aud it might be taken from them, if not properly used. Representa? tive Stoveuson, of Ohio, (of the same committee,) delivered nu address on the spread-eagle order. Senator Sawyer and Bepreseutalivu Elliott followed; which wound up the proceedings. Thompson's baud furnished the neces? sary music. A rnin storm disturbed the proceedings, but tho listeners protected themselves ns well os possible, and stuck it, out. A number of booths and tablee were scattered about the enclosure, from which pies, lemonade, ice cream and lager were dispensed.

This edition closed with the year 1857:' The second will bring the history of tho - college down to December, 1BG5? when the Act was passed establishing tbe.ani* varsity. We learn tbat the new edition will hnve increased interest imparted to it, not only because it will constitute a complote history of the college, but for tbo further reason that it will contain several new sketches and additions * to the sketches of those Presidents and Professors who havo died since the appearance of the work. It will be em? bellished by portraits ot the Presidents of the college. The volume will contain about 500 pages octavo, and will ba fur? nished at $3 per oopy. Subscription lists may be found at the bookstores. We deem it unnecessary to add anything to the notice thus given. Prof, - LaBordo's well-known fitness for the congenial work he has undertaken, and the work itself, will sufficiently commend the enterprise. The friends and gradu? ates of tho South Carolina. College, throughout ho State, and the South, will, : no doubt, be pleased to avail thenvBelvts of this opportunity to secure a valuable biok.
