THE OUTLOOK OF THE WOULD.-This
year has been prolific of physical and
political calamitioe. There has been
distress of nations and perplexity, the
3ea and the waves roaring. Volcanoes
bave been aotive, and tidal waves in re?
mote parte uf the world have put forth
destructive - energj. In our own coun?
try, violent storms and tornadoes have
been frequent. In Persia, thero bas
been, according to the latest accounts, a
severe famine, although the representa?
tives of Persia in London but recently
denied it. Added to all this are late re?
ports that floods and bail storms bavo
ruined the fertile fields of Southern
Hungary. One-third of tho district of
3anat, thekgranary of the Austrian em?
pire, is- under water. These lauds had
in former times been wasto marshes.
They were reolaimed by the construction
of dams under the reign of tho Empress
Maria Thoresa, and made the most fer?
tile fields of Hungary. But now the
country has returned to its original con?
dition, for a oulpably negligent adminis?
tration has turned a deaf ear to tho
pleadings of the peasantry. Il failed to
repair the dam, and thus aaused the
calamity. Tho cholera has, for the last
two years, been lingering in Russia,
though it has beon attempted to exclude
the knowledge of its existenco from all
but the offioials of the Imperial Govern?
ment. Whilst plague, fumino and tem?
pest have thus been abroad in tho world,
r.vara and rumors of war havo been
scourging Europe. France ie panting
orad well-nigh breathless from tb o ex?
haustion of a great struggle and the
humiliation of a terrible defeat, whilst
many homes in Germany are dark with
the bereavements by which the triumph
bas- been won. In Russia, armies are
gathering and drilling and navies pre
paring, in anticipation of hostile move?
ments-tho East and tho West looking
for and fearing the impending blow.
In Spain, a weak young King is in trou
bio- with his people, and there is i
deficit in the national exchequer. Ital}
and Rome are at loggerheads, and thc
Pope is deprived of his tompornlities
Tarkoy, in fear of everybody, and abb
to trust no one, is on the point of opet
rupture with the rebellious Egyptint
Khedive, and the Kbedive himself ii
cultivating tho friendsbip of tho groa
powers, in order to scoure strong back
iog for his expected conflict. In Eng
gland, a great though peaceful rovolu
tion is going on, but the "Battle o
Dorking" bas revealed a degree of weak
ness and incompetency which throw
shadows over the future Ia the reli
gious world, also, there are shaking
and convulsions. Our own couutry, fo
a time, has a breathing spell, and pol)ti
oally is comparatively quiet, with oui;
eleotioc campaigns and heavy taxes t
disturb our tranquillity.
Tho creators of poverty are becomin
more and more numerous in all our larg
cities. Legion is too weak a word to ea
press their prevalence, and moral statis
tics stand abashed at their impious el
frontory and insolent greed. A bonevc
lent society ut San Francisco publishes
sensus of the poverty producers an
dead weights of that oity of tho Golde
Gate. Tbey are thus set down: 2,40
grog-shops, 3,000 thieves, 6,000 low
women and 5,000 idlers, or 16,-100 in al
directly engaged in "creating poverty.
This is a pretty bad showing for a cit
of 150.000 inhabitants. If the stat<
ment were made concerning Washing
ton, we would feel loss surprise, as thei
are good State and Federal reasons ft
supposing Washington, in proportion t
its population, moro largely cursed tba
any othor city with tho poverty maui
facturiug classes above referred to. R
ocntly a cumber of female missionarii
went out among the soiled doves of tin
oity, and their report of tho moral desi
tntion of the Federal capital is tm
alarming. According to the publioatioi
made in this connection, the grave ai
reverend seigniors thero aBsemblei
leave all compunctions of oonscienc
and especially those which shield tl
domestic virtues; at their other home
and riot in fleshly lasts and fraudulent
acquired Inoro with torriblo "looseness
We trust that 'Frisco will Bet an examp
to Washington in tito mending of b
ways. In both, tho road that leadoth
destruction is nndonbtodly too broad.
Fashion in Paris is never at a loss
turn every sensation to advantage Ev>
tho sorrows and disasters whioh ba
lately overtaken that city havo furnish
its exponents with aomothing whi
may bo mado useful. Dry goods ai
nrtifioial flowers of a oolor called Pa\
bruie, Anyleisc, "Paris burned," is nt
tho fashion in tho French capital, whe
motto seems to bo, notwithstanding
*overso3, "I'll bo gay and happy still.'
SOUTH CAROLINA MONUMENT ASSOCIATION,
COLUMBIA, S. C., Sept. 15, 1871.
At tho last meeting of tho Executive
Board of the Sooth Carolina Monsmont
Association, held in Colombia, it waa
unanimously resolved that a bazaar
should be held in Columbia during tho
month of Novembor; th J proceeds of
which bazaar skull bo used to aid in the
erection of a monument to the Confede?
rate dead of South Carolina. Through
the kindness of tho President of tho
South Curolina Agricultural Society, suf- j
fioient space for the bazaar has been us
Biguod at the Fair Grounds, and tho ba?
zaar will bc hold at the samo timo ns tho
Agricultural Fair-from tho 5th to tho
10th November. Fooling assured that
moro good can bo accomplished by a
combiuod effort of this kind than by
any individual exertion, ho wo vor well
directed, we earnestly appeal to tho wo?
men of the State to help us in our work.
Up to this timo every oall for aid hus
been most generously responded to, both
by South Carolinians residing outside of
the State, QB well as by those who aro
among us to soo the progress of our
work. Being convinced, therefore, that
wo have but to represent our canso for
all to contribute gladly to its succoss, wo
ask tho publia interest in its behalf.

A special despatch to tho Savannah
Advertiser says:
A statement hsB been prepared show?
ing that Mrs. Mary Connolly, the wife of
tho Comptroller, had, up to Wednesday
Inst, in her own name, $4,500,000 in re?
gistered United Statos bonds, $500,000
of which she transferred to her son-in
law, Joel Fithian. It is said that Mrs.
Couuolly also holds $3,500,000 in unre?
gistered United States bonds, making I
$3,000,000 iu all. But, however this!
may be, tho statement as to the register?
ed bonds is, boyoud all doubt, true, and
there is good ground for hope that the
whole of the $4,500,000 will ultimately
bo recovered back to tho city. The facts
were laid before ex-Judge Barrett on Sa?
turday last. He has been formally re?
tained in the matter, and will give au
opinion within a very short timo as to
whether au action will lie.
STEAM TO LIVERPOOL FOB NEW COT?
TON.-Our merchants in the cotton trade
intending to afford shippers first class
facilities to send forward the new crop
to Liverpool, will commence at once by
offering the best steam freight room by
the British steamship Millbankc, just
hero from England, via St. John'H, (N\
B.,) consigned to Messrs. Watson Si
Hill. Tho Millhanke is -an Al British
iron propeller, built near Sunderland, in
1SGS, and is a splendid specimen of u
British merchantman, looks capable for
any work, and will placo 3,000 bales of
ootton in the Liverpool market iu short
time. Her commander, John Hunter
Smith, is a skilled and experienced sea?
man, and shippers in tho neighboring
cities of Savannah, Augusta and interior
point? will find this one of tho best
chances of tho year.-Charleston Courier.
THE WRECKERS* HARVEST.-Tho recent
gale off the Florida const has supplied
that adventurous and lawlesB class
known as wreckers with an unusual run
of business. From all parts of tho coast
they nro swarming to tho Eastern shore,
and loading themselves down with tho
goods, wares and merchandise oast upon
the beach from tho numer?os wrecks.
This plundering has been carriod to
such an extent that the agent of the
underwriters in that State has been
compelled to oall tho Uuited Statos
cavalry into requisition, and proposes to
search every houso on tho coast, with
the view of recovering tho stolen pro?
perty.

A difficulty occurred in Jefferson
Couuty, Ga., a few weeks ago, between
a white man, named Joseph Coleman,
and a negro, named Bug Fieroe, in
which tho former was killed. The negro
had committed some crime, and a posse j
was ordered to arrest him; he resisted,
and Coleman was tho sufferer. The ne?
gro escaped and turned up in Washing?
ton City. Ho was there arrested by
Government officials and sent baok. On
tho way, a party of disguised men took
the prisoner away from the guard and
"lost" him. The soldiers in nhargo woro
advised to leavo-which they did, at a
double-quick.
RATTLE-SNAKE.-On Monday, of last
week, Mrs. Joel Oorley, who resides
about two miles from our village, chop?
ped the head off of a rattle-snake with a
hoe. Tho snake measured four and o
half foot, and had ten rattles and a but?
ton. When discovered, it was in tho
yard near tho boase.

Ku KLUX THBOWN INTO THE SHADE.
For systematic cruelty to orphan chil?
dren commend us to the Ber. Mr. Yan
Epps, of tho "Sasqaohanna Talley
House," a benevolent institution, located
at Binghampton, New York. The faot
has boon brought to light that a little
child, a homeless, unprotected orphan,
of the fonder age of nine years, had,
night and day for fonr weeks, worn, not
about bis leg or arm, as in prison bard
dened convicts are compelled to do, but
around bis neck, nu iron ohain, riveted
fast, tho other end of whioh was at?
tached to u whito oak clog, two feet two
inohes long nnd four und u half niches
square, weighing sixteeu pounds, and
was only relieved from this cruel condi?
tion by escaping into tho streets of tho
city. Tho boy was talton to the city jail
whoro tho rivetB wero tiled away, und his
neck released. A Mrs. Parker, who had
two children at this institution, nays
Van Epps iutroducod most extraordina?
ry modus of punishment, all of thom
brutal iu the extreme. Shu has seen
1 i tilts boys and girls taken and stripped
of all their clothing, placed ia the cellar
and then showored with water cold from
tho woll for sovoral minutes ut n timo,
outil tho li tt?o things wore almost dead.
Vau Epps has, for the slightest alienees,
ordered the shoes aud stockings off tho
children in the winter, aud forced thom
to walk in tho snow for nu hour at a
time. He indicted this horriblo treat?
ment upon a boy who had just rocovered
from a severe illness. Mrs. Buckman
has seen a littlo boy forced to hold a
heavy chain upon his head a long time,
and all for trivial offences. Slio says
Van Epps* theory is that the children at
thu Homo boing paupers they must bo
treated us such, aud not be permitted to
think that they aro as good OB children
who do not live by charity. Hud theso
monstrous outrages, which throw those
of tho mystical Ku Klux iu the shade,
been committed in South Carolina, and
were theso poor orphans negroes instead
of white children, how Radicalism would
howl; how eloquent would Senator Scott
grow in demanding that martial law
should be declared and enforced for tho
protection of these innocents; nnd how
readily would Grant comply with this
demand, and hold tho Stnto still firmer
under tho bayonet until af tor tho election
in 1872.
SOUTHERN CONNECTIONS OP THE PENN?
SYLVANIA CENTH.YII.-We make tho fol?
lowing extrnct from a circular issued by
tho Pr?sidant of tho North Carolina
Railroad Company. After alluding to
the lease of tho North Carolina Road
to tho Richmond and Danville Rail?
road Company, Mr. Smith says:
It is now well understood that tho
capital and enterprise of tho Pennsyl?
vania Control Railroad have beaorue
largely interested in tho Richmond aud
Danville Railroad Company, and sup
{lorts its well known efforts to pass its
ino through to tho Air-Lino Road and
other loading connections South of
Charlotte. Backed by tbi3 new and
powerful combination, tho Richmond
and Danville Railroad Company ro?
ue wed their offors for your Une, rather
than eutor tho hoavior aud final contests
with you by tho investment of further
capital in a parallel road which, ouco
invested, must forever remain our com?
petitor. Tho Air-Lino Railroad from
Charlotte to Atlanta, under tho control
of the Richmond aud Danville Railroad,
thus reinforced, is hoing rapidly com?
pleted. A majority of tho stock of the
Chnrlotto, Columbia and Augusta Rail?
road Compauy has been recently bought
by a combination of tho sumo interests.
Having secured this key, as soon ns they
assume control of that road, it would bo
in tbeir power to cut off all through pas?
sengers und freights, and thereby rcduco
our income below tho possibility of regu?
lar dividends. Agroat thoroughfare will,
undoubtedly, now bo organized through
our State. Freights will be cheaper all
along its lino, immigration will be en?
couraged, our towns and cities built up,
and many groat and pormanent advan?
tages will How from the introduction of
tho largo capital which will seek our
State through tho influences controlled
by or identified with tho lessees of this
road. Their power, purposes and ad?
vantages of situation referred to, wo
could neither ignoro nor control. Tho
question was, how best to moot them so
us to protect and secure your interests
and tho30 of tho people of the Stato.
AN OLD STORY RE TOLD.-A corres?
pondent furnishes us with au account of
tho following incident, which has just
ocourred in n garrison town on tho banks
of tho Rhine. On n certain day last
week, a party of German officers were
dilling together, when a dispute-said to
bo about a lady-arose bo tween two of
them. Words ran so high that finally
both declared they could only bo satis?
fied by bloodshed, and, as duelling is
not allowed, thoy adopted another horri?
ble means of ending their quarrel. It
was agreed that they should stako their
lives on a throw of the dioe, and which
ever threw the lowest number was bound
by bis word of honor to blow his own
brains out. Tho unlucky number was
thrown by a bravo young officer who had
gone through tho Into campaign with
distinction, and had boen rewarded with
tho Iron Cross. He at once prepared
for bis fate by writing a lotter to bis co?
lonel, who happened to be absout, and
making his will, nod then, tho very same
overling, fulfilled his melancholy pro?
mise. His death and tho military fune?
ral ho was given created a little exoito
ment in the town, but, apparently, tho
feeling uppermost in tho minds of tho
inhabitants was that exprossod by tho
landlord of tho hotel, who said to mo,
"It was a very funny duol." Tho other
aetor in the tragedy discussed the event
quito calmly tho next day in thu table
d'/tote room.-London Times.

CHINESE LAHOR IN THE SOUTH.-The
New York Journal of Commerce publishes
a letter from itsV'Commissioner at the
South" on the subject of Chin?se labor
in that section. There aro over 2,000
Chinese at work on tho plantations and
in the sugar mills of Louisiana. They
are kindly treated there. Louisiana
does not seem to imitate tho Golden
State in her treatment of this class of
laborers. The Journal's correspondent
visited tho Chinese at their labors, and
interviewed employers and men. One
propriotor, Amos Ii. Merrill, of Boston,
owning a large sugar plantation, who
employs 160 Chinese, says ho would ra?
ther have good, reliable negroes who
would stay with him, but that Chinamou
uro good, careful workers, except tho
California Chinamen, (apparently cor?
rupted by contact with Christians,) who
aro tricky gonorally, and run awuy. Mr.
Merrill has lost money by them, nud he
speaks of them as all heathen, and en?
tirely destitute of moral principle. At
tho samo timo, ho believes Chineso labor
would bo o great thing in Louisinna.
Mr. Williams, of Bayou la Fourche, who
has 108 Chineso working on sugar, is de?
lighted with thom. Mr. E. J. Forstall,
of St. James' Parish, a Freuch creole of
suporior intelligence, who works thirty
Chinese, is greatly pleased with thom,
und is willing to subscribe for their im?
portation in largo numbers, believing
they aro greatly uocded in tho South.
Others havo similar favorablo testimony.
There is good fooling between tho Chi?
nese and thc colored mon, and they work
together amicably. Mr. Merrill, ubove
referred to, is tho only planter who said
a word to the correspondent against Chi?
nese labor, and even ho is iu favor of
Chin?se immigration. Mr. James, of
Baton Rouge, who has 1.00 working at
night iu the penitentiary factory, says
they ans invaluable as factory hands.
The Chinese aro greatly desired, espe?
cially in tho cotton sections. It would
seem, ou tho whole, that thc importation
of Chinese to the South is thus far a
highly success!ul enterprise, and likely
to ussumo larger proportions in a direct
form, tho principal complaint thus far
being against tho Chinese from Ctdifor
ula, who appear to be a bad medley of
Chineso aud Americau vices. What has
injured tho California Chinese, however,
works tho same mischief in Louisiana
that is, contact with cities. With soma
employed so uear New Orleans as to be
affected by its vicious attractions, con?
siderable difficulty eventually ensued,
aud they had to bo dispensed with. In
the rural districts they ure admirable
Tna WAR rou THE RHINE FRONTIER.
A now book, eal led "Tho War for the
Rhino Frontier," has just been published
by Col. Rustow, formerly iu tho Prussian
service, which is likely to causo much
comment, on account of tho views it
takes of tho causes of French discom?
fiture, showing that it was not merely
want of organization in the French
army. Col. Rustow, while admitting tho
superior disciplino and handling of tho
Prussians, declares that numerical dis?
crepancy hud moro to do with tho result
than has buen supposed. At tho outset,
on this authority, Germany mustered iu
field troops 018,000 men, with 1,006
guns, while France had but 285,000 men,
with 981 guns. Germany had 161,000
reserves, as against the 91,000 of Frauce.
As garrison troops, again, Germany had
187,000 men, for which Franco had no
equivalent, as tho Garde Mobilo was not
organized. At Wissembourg, says Col.
Rustow, the Germans had 20,000 mon
engaged, while Douay's opposing division
was only 8,000 strong; and tho French,
while completely surprised, fought threo
hours and only lost ono gnu. At Woorth,
McMahon had only 35,000 men engaged,
while tho "Gorman troops who really
came i?to action wcro 75,000 infantry
and oavalry." The numbers at Vionvillo
were nearly equal, and tho battle was
"drawn," siuco both parties bivouacked
on tho field. At Gravellotte, tho Ger
maus had "at least 200,000" against half
that number of their opponents, &o. We
do not know whether Col. liustow's
ligures eau bo on ti rely substantiated ; but
it ho3 always been known that there was
largo disparity of numbers. That the
Colonel's statements will Bootha French
national susceptibility is quito probable.
James Stephens, who humbugged tho
Irish North, a year or two ago, with tho
idoa of taking Ireland, nud has been
luxuriating ever siuco in tho French
capital, arrived nt Now York in tho
Perri?re, laat week, aud will set up in
the wino business, leaving Feniauism to
take caro of itself.

201,300; 1870, 289,667.
The Southern gas generator, now in
uso at tho PHONIX offico, is much ad?
mired. It is just tho thing for large es?
tablishments; and in country townB is
invaluable.

The survey of the Wilmington, Co?
lumbia and Augusta Railroad, from Co?

outsides, are crammed with seleotions
from Yankee magazines, thc prominent
I features of which are characters who
' (we quote from one of them) "have
J tasted all the horrors and sufferings that
a wounded soldier could feel starving in
Libby prison." Do our country friends
reflect on what they aro doing, in dele?
gating to Yankees the selection of choice
reading for Southern firesides? But it
