' :X- ?LUMBiA^, 8'. C; Thurs lay inruxne, Ootobar ?. 1871. An Impartial View of Socl?i?rr? Affolr*. Wo invito publi? atteutiou to the ar ti? de taken from tho New York Journal of Commerce: THR FAREWELL SOUTHERN LETTER. To-day appears the fortieth and last, of the letters from our aommissiouer at the South. It reviews the general situation of that part of the country, oompaotly summing up the strongest impressions left upon the mind of the writer after . oalm refleotion upou the orowded expe? riences of bia trip. These letters have admirably fulfilled the purpose that we * had in view. They have portrayed the commerce, trade, financial condition, manufactures, agricultural industries, and sooial state of the South io plaiu white and black. For romanoe, rheto? ric, political bias, and wild guess-work, the lover of saoh too common stuff has had to search elsewhere tb an in these columns. And, unfortunately, he has not had far to hunt, for the files of the political press ?t the North have been fall of prejudic?d statements and speou . lu tiona about Southern affairs. We bat repeat the abondant testimony of South? ern journals, in saying that from 'these letters the North has had the first op? portunity since the war to learn the real status of the South. The groat extent to wbioh they have been copied in that region, and also in the North and West, is proof of the wide confidence reposed in their presentation of facts. Those portions relating to the.present debt and prospect of payment, and finanoial re? sources of the Soatb, have boen espe? cially valuable, and have had material influence upon Northorn capitalists and investors. The record of observations on the negro and the Chinaman has been pains? taking and full, and may bo trusted as n bfia for any amount of humanitarian and philosophical disquisitions. Manu? factures have rooG?VOJ particular atten? tion, aud those honest good words have been spoken for them which they merit. Relative to the feeling of the South touching the dreadful past-now happily fading out of memory-and her attitude toward the rest of the Union and toward the General Government, our commis? sioner corroborates, by a multitude ol incidents, the opinion which wise and just observers had agreed in forming. The <3outherh people, with few excep? tions, are peaceable, orderly, content to live under the old flag, are as ready ac any at the North are to forgive and for get, and will not abuse the fullest resto ration to national confidence, and to ali the privileges of unhampered citizenship, Thib is the great lesson derivable frorx the letters, and for that alone, now thal it is well taught, we grudge not th* spaoe that we have given to them. It ii a lesson wbioh has already bad its effect all over the North in inciting now de mauds for that .general amnesty whiol will be the immediate precursor of a re tufrn ot the good old times of brother hood and common prosperity. Politici is the oue thing left out of this corres pondenou-except so fur as it contd no ha avoided in speaking of State Govern ments-omitted by our Bpecifio instruc? tions and by "general request." Thii may be a loss to the bigoted partisan but it is a gain to truth and to the inte rest of the letters. Our representative in bidding his farewell to the poo ph who have treated him with so mnol courtesy and kindness, pays but tin honest debt of gratitude- To the mea sure of thanks wbioh ho returns, we ad? our own, unstintedly. SECRETARY BOOTWELL'S POLICY.-Tin New York Evening Post does n Dt thin! that Secretary 'of the Treasury Boutwel has made a brilliant showing of hi fiusnoial administration, the net resal of which the Post states as "a saving ti the country, in interest alone, withit ten years, (deducting Sl.G25.000 as foe to the syndicate,) of $24,375,000." Bu the Post asks attention also to tho dail; fluctuations in the gold premium, tb losses to the country by the foreign ex changes, the losses to consumers througl the advanced range of prices maintaiuei in order to protect dealers against ris] of loss through these unstable values all incident to un inconvertible currency and concludes with the pertinent am pointed couuudrnm: "Of what benefi is the saving of $21,000,000 in ten years when his policy is such that the natioi is opt to lose, and, as we have shown does lose, a similar amount in the cours of a few months?" In the perilous times of the Stuarts of England; when no man's persona safety was assured, it was a stand art toast of the gay Duke of Buckingham "May all of us that are not hanged ii the interval meet together again here,' on such'and sucha day. We have no improved, under the model government on the age of the Stuarts. By the vii lainous and mercenary system of espion age practiced by the Federal Govern ment, under whioh some degraded mis cr?ant will swear away another's life am liberty for tho pay of an aotive spy every man's peace and seourity are ii constant jeopnrdy. . - ? ?? ? ? The Now York World says: Anothe defalcation has been discovered in th Paymaster's Department of the army The amount will almost reach theHodg figures. The whole Graut administra tion is honey-combed with corruption and defalcations can be unearthed in u! directions by a proper search. Stat? Board ot Education. ! Tho annual mooting of the State Board of-Education oouvoned ia the Se? nate Ohamhor, yesterday morning. My. jillson, Sthto Superintendent, took the ob air. ~ Ou motion of Mr. Watab, tho mles were suspended for tbe purpose of elect? ing a Secrotarj, which resulted in the selection of Mr. J. N. Corbet, of Sumter bounty. Tho roil wus thou called, and all the board unswcred io their names, except? ing the members from Richland, Charles? ton, Georgetown aud Newberry Counties. The Chairman made a very lengthy verbal report, giving no account of tho condition of tho schools in the Stato, and riiade some very wiso suggestions as to tho polioy of tho Commit lionera for keeping up the schools for the pr?sent year, and for tho cause of education generally. The hours of meeting were fixed at from 10 A. M. to 2 P. M., and from 4 P. AI., to sit at pleasure. Ou motion of Mr. Mites Johnston, the editors and reporters of the city papers were invited to seats in the board. Mr. Roberson offered a resolution, re? questing the Chairman to appoint the following committees: Upon the Amended School Law-J. T. Walsh, W. B. Leake, J. P. Riser, J. M. M. Williams and J. E. Wilson. State Normal Schools-Rev. R. H. Reid, J. H. MoDovitt and Abram Mid? dleton. School Funds-Jus. Norton, Frank Carter, David .Tolmato a, M. Johnston and E. L. Cain. Supply of School Teaohera-J.

L?INO nr NOTE.-Tho ease, faoility, glibness und completeness with wbioh tho Columbia Union, and its correspoud ents, reudor imagiuary Ku Klux out? rages, makes us think that thoy might, with bat little more trouble, fix up tbe whole matter to notes, or music, and give its readers something artistic. There might bo variations introduced, too, wbioh would, no doubt, bo attractive to its columns. Its party is noted for fond? ness of song. This Ku Klux music, served up fresh every morning, would, no doubt, become intensely popular, and rally the ranks of the party with a new and fresh inspiration. We clip the fol? lowing from the oolamns of the Union, of Monday last: "Ku KLUX IN SUMTES COUNTY.-A letter from Sumter, dated Saturday, states that on Friday night a store-keep? er, named Rytenburger, living about li ft cen miles from Sumter village, was taken ont by disguised men and terribly whipped. The letter says: 'They took him out of his bed and tied him to a tree uud iiteraliy cut the fiesh oil of him with a cowhide. There is no cause known except that he was a Republican. Ho was a very peaceable, good citizen.' " Mr. Rytteuborg was not "taken out of his bed," was not "tied," aud, so far from having the flesh "literally cut off of him with a cowhide," did not receivo a single cut, and was not even threaten-* ed in any way. Aud he is not a Repub? lican. It does seem that if tho Union sought to. publish truth it would uot, with so much readiness, hurry iuto its columns tho mass of falsehood that ii mis tho way to its oilice. There would bo Rome scrutiny of its correspondence. The truth in regard to this case is as fol? lows: Mr. Ryttonberg keeps a country store, und was called on by sumo parties, who remonstrated with him in regard to the pu rehuse of cotton in tho send. This was done iu a quiet and gentlemanly way. And here tho matter terminated satisfactorily, we learn, to both parties. [Sumter Watchman. DEA^H O? WILLIAM CARLISLE.-This highly esteemed citizen of our County died at Limestone Springs ou the 2Gth ult. His death was sudden aud uucx peoted. The deceased was a native of Ireland, but had immigrated to this country, wo suppose, about twenty years ugo. When tho late war commenced, bo volunteered iu the 13th South Carolina Regiment, where he served faithfully n iit il 'tho winter of 1864, when be was discharged on account of bis age. [Carolina Spartan. GIN HOUSE BORNT.-We regret to learn, just as we aro goiug to press, that the gio house, with six bales of cotton, belonging to Mrs. Switteuburg, near Jalapa, was barned to the ground on Moudcy afternoon. The gin was run? ning at the time the fire was discovered, and it is thought tho fire was caused by friotion.-Newberry Herald. BOILER BURSTED.-The boiler of the engine ut the steam saw mill in this town, belonging to Messrs. A. Tolleson & Co., bursted on lust Saturday. Fortunately, no damage was done except the pecuni? ary loss which the oompauy sustained by tho acoident. The mill bad been put in operation at a heavy outlay, and had been running but a few days. I Carolina Spartan. Tho gin honse of Mr. A. W. Wood, near Mars Bluff, containing from twelvo to fifteen bales of cotton in tbe seed, was burned last Saturday night. It is supposed to be the work of un incen? diary. Mr. Wood has the sympathy of our whole community.-Marion Star. Frost is reported in different sections of tho Stato-in tho lower as woll ss the upper. A steam yacht is rippling the Sea of Galileo. Tlie Condition of Europe. i. Gorm any is certainly preparing for war, that is most ondoubtable, and her preparations are vastly more formidable than in 1866, or in the preceding, war. Bat whether all these pr?parations mean the speedy outbreak of actual hostilities, or whether' Prussia is simply carrying out the maxim, that he who would have peace must bo prepared for war, is hard to toll. The recent imperial interviews, and particularly soma , threatening re? marks which Bismarck hun dropped of late in regard to France, which he does not believe sutlioiontly humbled, speak for the first; but the need of rest, which is imperutivo for Germany as well as for Franco, makes it improbable that no of? fensive movement on the part of the for? mer power will be mudo in tho very next futuro. It would be hurd to decide upon this delioate question, nnd we hardly feel inclined to venture upon the hold of conjecture in this matter. But however that may bo, there is no doubt that the German Government strains every nerve to put her armament into such a shape as to withstand any attack, from what? ever quarter it may como. Gorman of? ficers, in disguise or otherwise, aro busy examining all improvements introduced into the military establishments of tbe different oountries of Europe, aud we hear on nil sides of Gorman aotivity in this regard. New railroads for military purposes aro being oonstruoted with a feverish haste all over the German Em? pire, and everything is calculated for the purpose of losing the least possible time in case of a Hudden outbreak of hostilities. Tho fortresses aro being ex? tended and armed with improved artil? lery and provisioned for many mqnths. Particularly in the newly-acquired pro? vinces of Alsace and Lorraine this ac? tivity is most apparent. The vast num? ber of fortresses which aro so thickly sown over that countfy aro rapidly hoing put in a stato of defence, nod the forti? fications so formidable already will be greatly extended. Tho terrible lines of defence around Strasburg and Metz, which withstood tho Germans so loug, sink into insignificance in comparison with the gigantic fortifications that aro being raised around thom, aud which will take, particularly the former city, out of range of hostile guns, and make a bombardment such us it suffered iu the preceding year impossible. But this is not enough. Another formidable gir? dle of fortresses is hoing built in advance of these, on the vory border liue of France, defending every inlet into Ger mnuy. Every pass through the hilly country wbioh could serve for tho trans? port of artillery will bo guarded by this bristling belt, and an advauce of thc French into German territory will be reudered thus most difficult. While tho defences on the Western border line, toward France, are being put in such an exoellent state, the forti? fications on the German son-coast are equally an object of tho solicitude of the German Government. Tho navy of thc Empire is increased rapidly and with ex? cellent vessels. But as the present state of tho German commerce and the waul of colonies does not warrant Germauy ic keeping at present a fleet of the tarsi rank, moro ntteution is paid to vessels ol defence than to sea-going vessels. Ir the Prussian Baltic ports uro being cou strueted, at present, an immense numbet of torpedo boats, which, to judge from the description of trustworthy specta? tors, are most formidable engines of de? struction; Particularly three of thes( built ou a grander scale at Daulzio, if w< moy believe judges who huvo examined them carefully, are, iu themselves, capa ble of destroying an entire fleet. Thej aro moved by petroleum, and the torpo does ure filled with a substance of st il greater destructiveness than uitro-glyco rino. Tho Gazette, of Moscow, tho organ ol tho old Kassi.m party or tho orthodo: nativo element of Kassia, iu n rceout ar tide ou this subject, gives somo interest ing figures, which possess all the mort interest us they givo u comparison be tween the maritime defences of German} aud Russia. It calls particular litton liol to the advantages Germauy will dcrivi from tho two naval ports of Wilhelmsha foti und Kiel, which aro t co connected by a maritime ship caunl, establishing i direct connection between tho Baltio ant tho North Soa. This would enable Ger many to combine her Baltio squadroi with that of the North Sea, or tu traus fer tho one to tho other without beiuf obliged to mako the dangerous and tedi ons route of tho Sound. Another ad vantage of Germany is that her princi pul uea-ports, such as Koenigsberg Duntzio, Stettin, Bostock, Lubeck Hamburg and Bremoo, by their inlant position, aro eufilciontly protected b' some coast batteries, and do not requin much of a defensive fleet. In Russia on tho other hand, Bays the above munee journal, even the capital of tho country is exposed to tho attacks of a bostili fleet. When Fetor the Great built thu oity he was in suoh haste that he did no reflect on all the advantages and disad vantages of the site in a sufficient man uer, and even tho most necessary ant important measures of precaution wen not adopted. Although there wero i thousand reasons why St. Petersburg should have been built further up aloof the banks of the Neva River, it was buil right on tbo sea-shore. The first disad vantage that resulted from this mistaki was to exposo tho city to innumerabli inundations, causing, frequently, lossei of many millions of dollars. The inun dation of the year 1824, alone, causee damages of more thau $106,060,000, al though tho city at that time was mud smaller thau at present. "But nsnlo from this, St. Petersburg,' oontinues tho Moscow Gazette, "is left by its exposed situation, without pro teotion against the attacks of a hostili fleet, a fact still moro important, as it i tho capital of the country. This fao compels Russia to maintain a large flee in the Bullio, simply for the proteotioi of the capital, mid even this fleet doc not protect it sufficiently, ns it would bi unable to resist a first class power." Ia conclusion, the artiole ?tatos that the harbor d?fonces of Germany widely sur 1)088 those of Husein, and that partiou arly those of Oroustndt,tho oitadel of St. Petersburg, aro antiquated and net able to withstand modern artillery. All this shows that a terriblo feeling of uncertainty prevails in Europe. Tho war cloud is evidently thickening, but where it is going to burst or when, aro questions much easier put than answered, and wo doubt eveu if those stateatneu wost immediately corncerced could fur? nish a solution. [Louisville Courier-Journal.. Sagacious Dog?. Mr. Snapp, a blacksmith, owns two doga-one a terrier, four or five years old; tho othor half shepherd aud half our, about twelve or fifteen years old, and consequently very feoble. In the winter, between the- hourn for breakfast and dinner, and dinner nud supper, these two dogs may alway? be seen, perched up just far enough from Mr. Soapp'a forge to escapo tho sparks, but still near enough to keep warm. As soon as the hour for dinuor comes which thoy know even botter than the apprentices in tho shop-they are both oil at a full run, each aiming to secure a place behind tho warm kitchen stove, which is only largo cuough for ono dog at a time. Now, tho terrier, hoing the most active, almost always gains tho coveted plaoe, leaving the poor old dog out in the cold. Now comes tho curious part of my story. The old dogbBing thus left ont in the cold ono bitter day, pnt himself iu a thinking attitude, and aet his wits to work to devise some means by which ho could get tho* terrier put of the coveted place. Al) at once na idea seemed to strike him. Taking advantage of the good "watch-dog" qualities of tho torrier, ho made a feint towards the garden, barking furiously, as if nome ono was intruding at that point, when, true to his nature, out popped tho ter? rier, not to make a feint, but to make a pell mell rush to tho extremo end of tho gurdon, pushing tho old schemer just outside tho kitchen door, who no soouer saw tho terrier enter the gardeu than he popped too, not into tho gardeu, but be? hind the warm kitohen ato vc, curled himself up, and waited, with a cunning twinkle in his eye, for his young friend, who no sooner made his appearance, and seeing the situation, than he tried the sumo strategom with tho old dog, with aa little success as if he had tried to fly. Finding that to fail so signally, ho in turn put his wits to work. After disappearing in the garden for n fow moments, he mado his appearanco right in front of the kitchen door, with a largo bono in his mouth, and set to work on it as if he was enjoying it hugely. . Now, what dog can resist such a tempting sight? At least, tho old fol? low behind the stove could not, it ia plain; for, sneaking cautiously out of his snug retreat, ho made a sudden daub for the coveted bone, which ho secured very easily, to the surprise of ull, for a few minutes only, as tho mystery waa soon cleared up, for no sooner had ho possessed himself of what ho soou found to bo nothing but an old, dry bono they had both gnawed a hundred times, than tho young rascal had secured tho good, warm rotwjat behind tho Btovo-which ho certainly deserved, after displaying HO much canning-leaving tho poor old follow, out nguiu iu tho cold, there to contemplate the old proverb, "lt takes u thief to catch a thief." The Quincy Whig (au Illinois paper) has discovered another intelligent dog, and tolls this story: A gentleman of our acquaintance, liv? ing on Main street-, ia tho owner of a valuable, well-trained setter dog, which sleeps at night in a kennel near tho back part of tho house.. Ou Thursday night last, about 10 o'clock, as tho gen? tleman went to his room'in tho second story ou the front side of tho building, (the lights; below being extinguished,) ho heard his dog como beneath his win? dow, and sot up a most earnest, con? stant barking, ami it seemed to him that there was au unusual tone in tho ani? mal's voico. Supposing that there were intruders on tho premises, ho opened tho window und culled out to "Nig" to "catch 'em." Tho dog, instead of start? ing oil under tho order, continued to bark, jumping up against tho wall of the house beneath tho window, evidently desiring that his master should come down. Tho gentleman wont down, and ns soon as ho reached tho outer door, was met by the dog, who, still harking, ran toward the rear of tho dwelling. His master following, fonud his hired man lying on the ground, helpless and un? conscious. He had, as ho afterwards stated, and aa the marks npon tho ice indicated, in stepping out from tho kitchen, slipped and fallen upon the ice, his head striking a stone step and cut? ting a fearful gash in his scalp. He had to bo carried into the house, and it was Borne houri) before ho recovered his souses-in fact, ho ia still suffering from the effects of the wounds. The man re? members nothing from the moment he fell; but tho dog, who either saw him fall or found him lying there afterward, know of his condition, and but for this display of what aan hardly be called lese than human intelligence, tho man un? questionably would have boen stunned all night, and probably either frozen to death or died from tho loss of blond be? fore morning. Tho report of the New York Board of Pharmacy shows that out of 250 drug? gists and 190 clerks examined by tho commissioners, sixty druggists und eighty-one clerks foiled to give sufficient proof of the qualifications necessary, and were rejected. Ju tho examination of the leading druggists and their clerka it waa found that n large number of them could not read ordinary Latin prescrip? tions. Sjti o o ?, 1 Items.

A good flow of animal spirits is, per imps, a good thing for n man to have bat wo doubt if it often commends ??.-cl to his friends. As a general thing, ex pcrieuce has taught us to regard anima spirits, in the general acceptation of tin term, with some repugnance. Whei sifted down practically, it becomes tot often ti mero tiauspareut excuse for tole rating the most disagreeable things, tine a most i n s i duo us foo of courtesy nm good breeding. It is very hearty nut gushing in a mau to slip up behind you and with, "How ure you old boy?" drive thc breath of your body with n blow ou of you, aud yet this is conventionally tc bo pardoned and admired on the score o "high animal spirits." It is moro plea saut to bo aroused at daylight in a pub lie couveyanco by some nuisance, ir whom animal spirits take tho form o whistling-a senseless habit which ough to be punished as a penal offence. Wba do pcoplo whistle for, anyhow? Then is certainly no music in it, and there cai be no gratification. In vain we endeavoi to fathom its origin. If Orpheus hat whistled, the trees and rocka wo ole never have been startled from their pro priety. We are inolined to think i originated in an eighth plague, Ben down on Pharoah. Wu know he bon up very well against six, but as th? seventh was not muoh worse, the begirt of Israel has never boen satisfactorily ac counted for. Probably whistling wai only threatened as the eighth; ia whicl caso Pbaroah knew that the Egyptians one and all, would probably leave the country, and so made tho best of a bac bargain, anti let Moses go. It is to be booed the parents of to-day will endeavoi to rank whistling amoug the lost arts, teaching their children to avoid it Qi second only to base ball in abhorrence, Fine animal spirits can certainly exhibit themselves happily in some other and loss objectionable as well as more useful shape, say: In sawing wood, carrying iu coal, "toteing" water, or plowing matches. Such are their appropriait sphere, not in whistling. MAIL A mt ANO EM Kirra.- Tho Northern .' mail opens at 8.00 P. jil".; closes 7,15"' A. M. Char les ton day mail opens ?'.?Q P. M.; closes 6.00 A.
