a^?"^^--------JBBSSS COLUMBIA.' S; 7C. Suuday Morning, September 24,1871. .; ;A FBBNOH EAIPIRK.-The Frenoh peo? ple will never be happy without an em? pire. They are used to it, and they, can't get ; along, comfortably without it. In a republic they are like a herd of mad bulls confined within ? glass house. With them the empire, is tranquility, if not happiness, whilo a republio is per? petual disquietude and agitation. They need and must have a form of govern? ment that will keep them out of politics, a field in which they are capable of shin? ing only as the architects of ruin. It is believed that Louis Napoleon hos aban? doned all hope of again becoming their chiof ruler, but it is said that ho confi? dently bolioves that his son will ultimate? ly ascend the imperial throue. Touch? ing this subject, a late London letter says: ..There was.one thing which tho Em? peror bad reason to dread, and that was an early appeal to universal suffrage. He claims to h nv o derived his sovereignty from the nation; und again and again he has admitted that the same power which made can also unmake hie title. So long, thorefore/as the election of a per? manent government is delayed, so long "will the Bonapartiats have time to in? trigue for a restoration. The Emperor's .friends are aotive; bat they exhibit more discretion than they did when they took to pamphleteering aud to issuing mani? festoes which invited sharp criticism, .especially as the events to whioh they referred were painfully fresh in the pub? lic recollection. In their case the Gor? man maxim-'a i lon co is golden'-holds striotly trae." WOMEN ABE NOT BUINEBS.-Tho Troy Times refuses to believe that women aro at the bottom of most of tho ruin brought upon men and nations, and adds: "By the side of each one of those "ruined* men, history, by its silence at least, plac?s millions of men who have not been rained by women, and hun? dreds on hundreds who have been sus? tained and supported by good women, and unwritten and unwriteable history might show thouBauds on thousands more.". A convention of the tax-payers of Florida, lately in session at Lake City, havo issued an address to their fellow citizens, "without r?f?ren?a to their party connections," ih whioh they set forth that the amount to be collected in taxes the current year is nearly $1,000,. OOO, equal to one-elevoath of the total personal property valuation of tho State. That "from their kuowledgo of the con? ation of the producing interests, the delegates assembled give it as their de? liberate opinion, that after deducting tho aotuu.1 cost of production, thora will not remain in the hands of producers a suffi? cient amount to pay the taxes upon their property." The address goes on to ex? plain tho methods by which the people are plundered, and.reforms whioh are needed, showing the neoessity of a gene ral redaction of taxation, oxaept the school tax. "This tax," they Bay, "should be retained at suoh a rate, con? sistant with the resources of the people, as' wilt suffice for general ?ducation." The tax collections for sixteen years are given. For 1860, the amount was $117, ?03.85. ? great deal of interest is felt to know what sort of an island New Caledonia is, where many ; thousands of Communist prisoners from Paris are likely to bo sent. New Caledonia is a tropical island in the mid Pacific, about 220 miles long by thirty broad, with a mountainous surface, rising to 8,000 feet in the centre. Its native population were Kanakas, a mild people, bat fond oi eating their enemies -when friends were sooroe. They have, however, mostly disappeared, carried off by consumption. The chief settlements Noumea, with no stream of fresh water nearer than eight miles. This island will be a fearful banishment for the. Paris born. THE NOBLE SAVAGE IN A NEW ?SPEOT. - We cannot but admire the pluok and in? telligence with whioh the Osage Indians near Fort Smith, Arkansas, have lately turned the tables on the overbearing white settlers of that region. The proud Caucasians, missing their horses, natu? rally turn upon the aborigines as the likely thieves. The Osages deny the coft impeachment, and offer to assist in hunting for the lost property, designat? ing their own camp as the first place to be examined. To this the Caucasiana demur, and insist upon taking enough animals from the Osage party to make good their loss. The Osages resist, take seven of the white men prisoners and deliver them over to the United States Marshal, charged -leith larceny and as? sault. This may be aptly called a tri? umph of civilization, and it shows the noble red man in the character of a friend to law and order. Tho English road locomotive, on exhi? bition nt the Now Jersey State Fair, is surrounded always by a crowd. This steamer, on Monday, was attached to one .of Howes & Phillips' heaviest drays, loaded with 10,000 pounds of pig iron, and whioh it drew with ease all over the grounds. Cotton? MB. EDITOB: Sunshine is again upon us, and to ranke ap for lost time the planters will push ahead" picking cotton more energetically than ever. Many of them are rushing their bales to market, and in the' face of facts tho prioe is cul? minating towards the wrong end of the purse. I have roliablo data from privato sources from a great many pointu throughout the West and. South-west, and from moro than half theXountics in this State, concerning the cotton crop, and I have not reooived a letter but that says "we will soarooly make half a crop of cotton." Newspaper accounts corroborate these views; and with groat certainty wo can all say the crop will be very short. Should not the price be comparatively high? If it is not, our planters aro to blame, and should now-once at least hold on to their cotton, and command a remunerative prioe, rather than glut the market and throw the advantage into the hands of speculators. Whether we hold or not, cotton next March will bo twenty-five oeuts per pound. A PLANTEE. EDITOR DAILY UNION-SIR: lu yester? day *s issuo you state that the books iu the Auditor's office are in a bad fix, or words to that effect. I can only say, that if Mr. Tomlinson does not reply to that iosiuaatiou, I will. There is not an entry made but I can explain (to the date I left the office) to tho satisfaction of any disinterested parties. Major Deane ought to be able to explain why the contingent account is not entered up. JOHN MCCORD, Late Chief Clerk. CONDENSED HISTORY OP STEAM. About 280 years 13. C., Hiero, of Alex? andria, formed a toy, which exhibited some of the powers of steam, and was moved by its power. A. D. 450, Anthemius, an architoot, arranged Bovoral caldrons of water, each covered with tho wide bottom of a lea? ther tubo, whioh rose to a narrow top, with pipes extonded to the rafters of the adjoining building. A fire was kindled beneath tho oaldrons, aud the house WOB shaken by efforts of the steam ascending tho tubeB. This is tho first notice of the power of steam recorded. In 1543, June 17, Blasco D. Garoy tried a steamboat with tolerable success at Barcelona, Spain. It consisted of a caldron of boiling water, and a mova? ble whoel on each side of tho ship. It was laid asido as impracticable. A pre? sent, however, was made to Garoy. In 1650, the first railroad was con? structed at Newcastle on-Tyne. The first idea of a steam engine in England was in the famous Marquis of Worcester's "History of Inventions," A. D. 1663. In 1710,. Newcomen made the first steam engine iu England. In 1718, patents wore granted to Sa? vory for tho first application of the steam engine. In 1674, JameB Watt mado tho first perfeot steam engine ia England. In 1736, Jonathan Hulls sot forth the idea of Bteam navigation. In 1778, Thomas Paine first proposed this application ia America. In 1781, Marquis Jouffroy count meted one in Saono. In 1785, two Americana published a work on it. In 1779, William Tymington made a voyage in ono on tho Forth and Clyde Canal. In 1802, this experiment was repeated. In 1782, Bamsey propelled a boat by steam tb New York. In 1788, John Fitch, of Philadelphia, navigated a boat by a steam engine on the Delaware* In 1793, Bobert Fulton first began to apply his attention to steam. Ia 1793, Oliver Evans, a native of Philadelphia, constructed a locomotive steam engine to travel ou a turn-pike road. The first steam vessel that crossed the Atlantic was tho Savannah, io tho mouth of June, 1819, from Charleston to Liver? pool.-Philadelphia Commercial Lisi and Price Current. A correspondent, writing from Vienna, says that since the misfortunes of Paris, Vienna has become the queen city of the continent. This winter is prognosticated as a grand season, and the finest music in the world, already discoursing at the opera and in the gardens, will be imper? sonated later by the best artists in Europe. Building is going forward rapidly; immense structures, with im? posing facades, embellished with colos? sal statuary, are filling up the blank plaoes along the 'Tings;" grand squares aro being projected, and b?tela multiply day by day. Vienna is thus ripening and maturing into what may yet be the grandest capital in the world. THE HEALTH OP THE CITY.-Tho cold snap, on Wednesday and Thursday, has provod more disastrous to the sick than we had expected, as is shown by the number of deaths reported this morning. City Registrar Lobby reports the reoeipt of eight certificates of death from yellow fever during the twenty-four boura end? ing at noon yesterday, viz: Joseph Car? ter, James O. Starr, W. J. Middleton, James Lombardo and William Hey ward, who died on Wednesday, the 20th; and J. D. Hope, E. P. Starr and J. Strauss, who died on Thursday, the 21st. [Charleston News, 23rf. A Springfield, Massachusetts, paper tells of a woman in that oity who does washing for two cents a "piece," and de? rives an average iuoome therefrom of $120 a month. Last month she washed 0,952 pieoes, and received $139.14. Her husband meanwhile toils on fur $12 per week, less than one-half what sho earns. Wo And mea in every.walk in life mis? taking a passion for prominence, for n desire for eminence.. No eminence is possible ezoept we snbjeot that passion for prominence whioh osases as to over? look tho very steps by whioh emiaenoe is gained.

YUM KI?EPUR.-Ari Israolitish friend furnishes us the followiug particulars of tho celebration of this noted holiday. Tho festival begins thi? evening: YOM KEETUR, on DAY OF ATONEMENT. This festival-tho groat day of atone? ment-is, accordiug to diviuo command, (Lev. xxiii: 2G,) to be solemnized from sun-set on tho 9th Tishri nutil sun-Bet on the 10th succeeding-corresponding with tho ISth instant. Israelites conse? crate tho interval by acts of penitence, all required by the Word of God-among which wo find public confession. The observance of this festival is of para? mount importance, aa it was enjoined by Jehovah himself: "This is unto yon a statute forever to your generations, in all your settlements."-Leviticus xxxiii: 31. So that, to the truo intent and meaning of theso words, the command? ment remains in force at all timen, ia all places, aud nuder all circumstances, nud wero not intended to pass away and to bo replaced by now dispensations. From sun-sot on tho Otb Tishri, israelites aro absorbed by solemn meditation, aided by prayer, which, beginning nt sun-set, continue? during thc whole of tho tenth day, aud by fasting-tho rigid character of which, by mortifying tho flesh, ren? dors tho spirit free inward and holy they recall to mind all tho errors they may have committed, all tho sins of whioh they havo been guilty. They dwell particularly on oaths sworn bat not redeemed, promises not kept, obli? gations broken, vows not fulfilled; and, having enumerated them, they prepare for tho solemnity whicb is to cleanse them of all these transgressions. The next day, at sun-rise, they enter the place of worship, clothed in white, BO that tho purity and simplicity of their garments seem to indicato the candor and holinoBs which thenceforth is to dwell in their hearts. Then they all join with load voice in a general confes? sion of their misdeeds, repeating tho ri? tual formerly used by tho high priest in tho tomple at Jerusalem. Aooordingly, this day, because of its being altogetber consecrated to the regeneration of man, is called in Scriptare "Sabbath Sabba than"-Heat of Best; and, in foot, when man thus rocovers a Btate of candor and purity, he becomes tho image of perfect calmness. It was on this same sacred day tho high priest entered thesanotum sanctorum, and there pronounced the ineffable name of Doity, glorious and awful, ut tho sound of which tho hearers fell on their knees, their faces touching tho ground, not daring to gaze on tho Shekinah from tho mercy soat betwoen * tho extended wings of tho cherubim. I Whether this day is considered from a moral or religious point of view, or from its great autiquitv, it deserves tho re? spect of tho Gentile and tho veneration of A JEW.
