Paris?, November Iff?The t German troops have ovaouated the city of Rheims and the town of Vitry Lo Frnnoaie. They were the last posts retained by them in the Department of Marne. London, November 6.?The result of the Presidential oleotion in America is published in Loa don this morning. Tbe Telegraph believes Grant deserved re? election, and the fact that he has been again chosen disperses the assertion that Republicans are nagratefnl. The Stand? ard makes a violent attack on the Re? publican party, whioh, it says, has done nationally what Tammany and Fmk did locally. Grant and Greeley are both nnflt for the position of President of the | United Stokes, but, it says, of the two evils, it believes the people have made tho best ohoice. American Mutter?. Charleston, November 6.?Arrived? Steamships Champion, New York; Gulf Stream, Philadelphia; schooners Mary E. Femeriok, Philadelphia; Samuel Fish. Booth Bay, Me. Frankfort, Kr., November 6.?The returns indioate a full Republican and a falling off of one-third of the Democra? tic votes. Greeley'a majority is proba? bly 10,000. A Democratic Congressman has been eleoted from every district. Nbw York, November 6.?The He? rald's election estimates givt to Grant twenty-eight States and to Greeloy eight; or, 268 electoral votes for Grant, to 90 for Greeley, . The popular majority for Grant is placed at 350,000. The Herald editorially says, that whether the result' will be accounted for, by the popular strength of Gen. Graut on the one hand, or the weakness of Greeley and tho fee? bleness of the Liberal Republicans, com? bined with the Democratio bolt, on the other hand, it is, in many respeots, the most remarkable Presidential election in the history of the country. The Tribune gives Grant 232 electoral votes, at the lowest, and 78 for Greeley, with the rest doubtful. There is soarcely a parallel, it says, in tho completeness of the rout and triumph. It argues that Liberalism eould not withstand the enormous outlays of money expended by the Republicans in the canvass. Gen. Grant now has four years more of power, with heavy congressional majorities; and in whatever reform he may seek to efieot, he will have the aid of the Tribune. The World places Grant's popular ma? jority at 300,000. It says that tho de? feat is due to the Democracy surrender? ing to Greeley; that the demoralisation' consequent upon the New York ring speculation of a year or two ago dis? heartened the patty, and caused the nomination at Baltimore; that the party had not reooverod in time from tho Tam? many taint to do anything, no til too late. The Times gives Grant 300 electoral votes, and Greeley only 43, with the balance doubtful. On the mayoralty vote,-this'city Will give Havemeyer, Republican,' 51,959; Lawrence, Tammany, 48,505; O'Brien, Apollo Hall, 34.301; Havemeyer's plu? rality being 3,454. The Assembly iu the State will proba? bly stand 44 Dsmoctats to 84 Republi? cans.. The. Seqate.is Republican, hold? ing over from last yoar. The Tribune, commenting on tho ro sult, says the Liberal Republican strength in North Carolina, Vermont and Maino was nearly neutralized by the Democrats who wouldn't "eat crow," when thoy could get from five to twenty dollars for not eating it.

Wasoinoton, Ncvombcr 6.?Puelps, Republican, is elected from the Fifth New Jersey District. Lowndes, Repub? lican, from tho Sixth Maryland District, is elected. New Jersey elects a Repub? lican Congressman and a Republican joint ballot. Many Republican members of the New York Legislature aro op? posed to Conkling's ro-eleotion to the Senate. Sohudder, Republican, is elect? ed from the First New York District. The Liberals carry bat one County in Kansas. Rico, Wood nnd Farwoll, Re? publicans, are elected to Congress. Illi? nois elects twelve Republican members of Congress. Pago and ClaytoD, Repub? licans, are elected to Congress from California. Both parties olaim Virginia. Returns from Alabama are meagre. Both parties still claim Louisiana, though tho Liberals regard their success as almost certain, by 10,000. Florida is also claimed by both parties, by a vory small majority. Greeloy raus behind his ticket in Florida. There are indications of 10,000 majority in North . Carolina for Grant. Despatches from Nashville indi? cate that Maynard is elected to Congress at large, over Johnson and Oheatham. Immenso Republican gains in every sec? tion of Virginia heard from, justify the conclusion that Grant has carried the State. The Republicans olaim it, and but few Democrats hold out in claiming it for Greeley. Those who have conversod with Presi? dent Grant and his more intimate friends in Washington, daring tho past month, will remember that they uniformly pre? dicted snoh a result of the Presidential eleotion as has jest occurred. They scorned to possess data from gentlemen in different parts of the country whioh justified them in their hopes and pros peots, now fully realized. The President to-day received oalls of congratulation, I in addition to numerous telegrams of j greeting, and also announcing results. He expressed thanks to his guests for these manifestations of friendship; and, apart from the political issues involved, was gratified that tho people had vindi? cated bis private character, whioh had been assailed during tho canvass. That there will be at least one ohango in the Cabinet at the commencement of the next Presidential term, there is no uestion. It is known that Secretary inh has repeatedly expressed his wish to bo relieved from the position of Sro* retary of State. This desire will be gratified at the end of the present term. There is no probability of a change of Attorney-General. Jndgo Williams re aently remarked to friends, that although he could bavobeen elected Senator from Oregon, he deolined boing a candidate, in order that he might remain in his pre? sent offioe. There is good reason for stating that any remarks with regard to the other members of the Cabinet wonld be mere speanlation; but it may be said that the commissions of all cf them will expire at the close of the present term; thus necessitating new commissions to those serving as Cabinet officers after the 4th of March next. It is too early to anticipate the Presi? dent' action in the future concerning re? forms and measures of administration, further than his intimation to-day, that he will endeavor so to shape his official condnot as to meet the expectations of the country, and to unite tho people in stronger bonds of peace, while, by all the means iu his power, promoting their welfare at home and abroad.

Hampton in Feed brick, Md.? The recent address of the great cavalry leader is fall of grand and noble thoughts. We are sorry that we cannot publish the whole ot it. We give an extract on the BUbjeot o! education, which in the address was prefatory to his plea for agricultural colleges, in which our youth should be educated to become practical and intelligent farmers: Of the three pressing wants, the lack of proper eduoation among our people, especially among the great body of our farmers and planters, it has been speci? fied as the first and most sorious. I am not one of those who measure the virtue aud intelligence of a people by their ability to read and to write. Thero is as much' truth as poetry in the apho? rism, "A little learning is a dangerous tiling. The fatal mistake of the age?at least, in some portions of this country?springs from the prevalent belief that mere in? tellectual training ia of itself sufficient for all the purposee of this life, without that better education of tho moral sense, which oan aloue teach mac his duty to his neighbor and to his God. In tho ceaseless and unseemly struggle for place and riches, which is debauching the moral tone of so large a part of the population of this couutry, all true edu? cation is neglected, nud many young men aro launched on the sea of life with in? tellects sharpened at tho expense of all the higher faculties, which are left unde? veloped and uneducated. The wild pur? suit of wealth as the only object of life? "the cursed greed of gold"?lenvos no timo for the proper training of heart and Boa), and too much of what is falsely called education bus for its whole end to impart only such knowledge as will qua? lify its possessor to enter tbo mad ruce for power, wealth and other mere temporal blessings. The caustic words of the Hornau satirist, describing that eduoation whioh teaches that money is tho chiof good, are sadly applicable to many of our youth, who are taught in tbo same school. "Make money; honestly if you can; but, if not honestly, muke money by any means." aw ao ...... liiHkulug bUai At, making so many of the people lose their ancient and hardy virtues, and it is against this abuse of all high aud true education that I now protest; not ngainst education itself. It is uudoubtedly a good thing to kuow how to read uud write, but the nure possession of these rudiments of education profits a mau but little, unless his nobler faculties arc directed in the proper way; und it is a mistake to suppose that hecuuse he can read and write he is a better man or more intelligent citizen. The Athenians, it may safely be assumed, though tbe great body of them were without these acquirements, were quite as well versed iu literature, science, politics and the polite arts, as tho people of Now Eng luud, whose boast it is that their system of free sohools has diffused education more generally among the people than iu any other country; and tho experience of every thinking man iu the South will bear me out in the assertion, that in all the elements which go to make ap true mnnbood, honesty, truth, honor, faith, courage und intelligence, our own peo? ple, all unlettered as many of them are, have proved themselves, iu war as in peace, at least the equals of those who pride themselves on their superior edu? cation. But while these are tacts which cannot be successfully controverted, it does not follow that a proper education, a development of tho full powers of body, of mind and of hoa.t .-should be neglected, and it is in behulf of this higher and nobler education that T now appeal to yon, and through you, to tbe people of tho South. Important to Merchants and Others Sending Samples and Patterns ur Mail.?Tho Postmnstur-Geuerul has niado tho following decisions iu refer- [ encc to mailing samples and patterns: Any mail matter passing at lees than letter rales iuu.it be so enclosed as to admit of examination without destroying tho wrapper; otherwise letter postage will bo collected. Fluxiblo patterns nud samples of mer? chandize, put iu packages not exceeding twelve ounces in weight, can bo sent by mail at tho rate of two cents for each two ounces or fraction thereof, prepaid by stamps affixed, when so wrapped as to admit of examination. Packages of dry goods, limited to twelve ounces iu weight, cau pass by mail as merchandize at the samo rate. Packages containing samples of mer? chandize must be left unsealed, so that the contents may bo *cxamiuod without destroying the wrapper; otherwise letter postogo must bo charged.

The giu-houso of Mr. Philip Hamer, who resides in Marlboro County, near tho Marion lino, with about forty bales of ootton, was destroyed by liro last week. The fire originated from a match in tho cotton. The Missouri Holocaust.? The fol? lowing pattiookre of the burning of the steamship Missouri have be on obtained from the survivors who arrived at Key West, Florida: When the boat which was saved left the burning ship one boat was seen with its keel upwards, which had two men on it. The rescued boat lay for two hours by a swamped boat containing nine men, iuoluding the engineers, firemen .and ship's barber. A bucket was given to the inmates of the swamped boat to bail with, there being two in the rescued boat. As there woro no scameu in the swumped boat they were unable properly to manage it, and in this conditiou they were left. It is not likely that any of t lern were saved. No sails had been seen for two days previous to tbo fire. On that day the Missouri was in company with a ship from a quarter-past 9 A. M. uutil 3 P. M., when she was lost sight of. For forty minutes after the rescued left tho Missouri they saw the passengers and crew who remained on board crowded on the after part of tho vessel. It is said tho fire was first discovered on the floor of tho locker in the pantry, aud the ory of fire was immediately given. Wet carpets were immediately put on the fire by the pantrymen and others, and tho stewards reported to tho passengers that the fire was out. The alarm was given while the passengers were at breakfast, but on receiving tho steward's report that the fire had been extinguished the breakfast was resumed and the fears of the passengers quieted. Within two minutes, however, several voices screamed "Fire!" from the stoke? hole. All was then confusion. Within twenty minutes threo boats were launched. Iu the rescued boat, with the exception of a few pieces of sugar-cane, there was neither food nor water, and ouly two small oars and a large oue; neither were there any sails nor auything to make them of. It was from 9 o'clock in the morniog of tho 221 until 2 o'clock in the after uoon of tho 23d before assistance was obtained. At that time the schooner Spy was sighted, and the rescued party pulled vigorously to her. Tho Spy^took the survivors lu Hopeinwn, on iv.uow Key, where they arrived about 7 P. M. on the 23d. On the 24th, a schooner was seut towards tho burning ship, with charts and full directions where to find her, and with instructions to look for the ship's boats and skirt tho coa3t. Tho schooner returned about miduight on the 241b, and reported having seen no? thing of the boats or passengers. The sea was then breaking heavily in the reefs. The. party left Ilopetown at 10 o'clock ou the 2?th, and arrived at Nas? sau nt half-past 2 P. M. on the 23th. It is said that tho doukey pumps of tho sLeamer were ucver started, one of the passengers asserting that ho had hold of tbo hoso some time, and that no water was forced through it on the flame3 from tho donkey. Two deck pumps wcro worked a fow minutes only. Within fifteen minutes after the alarm of fire was given, the twelve survivors were in tho boat, and tho flames were coming' from the stokehole in u volume. Thu bbin'a course wftK never altered, and consequently tho flames were carried atbwartships, burning up oue life-boat ou tho leo side and making it too hot to get tho others off. Only three boats woro launched,' two of which were swamped. It is said that sovcu females and seven children were aboard tho Mis? souri, nono of whom got. into the bouts. The scene presented was heart-rending. Not over twenty minutes elapsed uftcr the Ore was discovered before the three boats wero launched. Tbo Missouri's engines were etopped, but her sr.il?; wer? loft spread and a speed of four knots was maintained. When last seen, Captain Greene was working with Purser llompstead aud some of tho crew, trying to get off tho leo .boat, surrounded with smoke and ll line. Eleven of the survivors say that the boat Mas never launched, but, Cap? tain Culmer, the twelfth, says it was launched full of people, but that it was immediately swamped. In tho list of passengers lost by tho steamship Missouri occur five servants of Mr. Cleveland, who wout out to taku charge of the Vidini Hotel, at X'ussau. The company allowed them to go under that designation at half price. Ouo of them was Dr. Bubcock, of New York; another wr.s Colonel Cecil Cleveland, of Buffalo, who served iu the war under General Bank-.:; another was Joseph Tbrocktnortou, a clerk in Philadelphia, and a woman named Mary Blank, of j OneidaCounty, who was going to Nassau ; as a house keeper. More Incendiarism.?Wo learn that ou Tuesday night lust, about 11 o'clock, tho kitchen of Mr. Albert Spcarmau, ! uear Jalapa, was discovered to bo ou (ire, aud was soon totally destroyed. There had beou no firo in i: siuce noon of that day. It was clearly the not of an incendiary. Aud again on Friday night last, about the same hour, tho gin house of Mr. N. B. Daveuport, iu this County, was cot ou firo by some fiend, and the building, with twenty-one bales of cot? ton, burned. Tho lurid light of this burning was seen in town aud excited some alarm, it being at tho first, sup? posed to bo from somo building iu the towu. Is this miduight burning of gin houses, cotton, dwellings, stables aud kitchens a resume of former dovilish work, w hich droro people to band togo thor in dofonco of life and property, and for which many suffered as Ku Klux? [Keitberry Herald. A commercial traveler iu a;Western city handed a merchant, upon whom ho had called, a portrait of his betrothed, instead of his busiuess card, saying that he represented that establishment. Tho merchant examined it carofully, remark? ed that it was a lino establishment, and returned it to the astonished aud blush? ing traveler, with a hope that he would soon be admitted into partnership. The tap tote between Russia and Khi? va seems serious. The Khan is de? scribed as a young man of twenty-seven years, with great military abilities and insatiable ambition, and he openly pro? claims bis determination not to leave a foot of ground to tho foreign.invaders in Central Asis.. For some time past he has been securing allies against Russio, and now that the war baa broken out he has sent emissaries into the Russian ter? ritory of Mangisoblaok to stir up an in snrreotion among the Kirghiz. Three Kassian oolumns have been sent against tho Khan, bat it is expected that their task wili be a most difficult one, for the Khivans are brave and enterprising, and have a large army. Gin House Destroyed.?Thomas B. Fr?ser, Eeq.. had bis gin-hoe.se, located about ten miles from this place, and con? taining three bales of cotton, one of his own and two belonging to colored men residing on his premises, completely de? stroyed by an accidental fire, on the night of Monday, the 4th inst., with all the maohinery and gearing attached to it. There was no insurance ou either the building, machinery or cotton, and his loss is about $700 outright. The giu-house was perfectly new, his old one having been burned two years ago, by the hand of an incendiary. Death.?Mr. Brian Kavanagh, a vene? rable oitizen of our town, died on Fri? day night, after un illuesc of several woeks. He was a native of the County of Kilkenny, in Ireland, and had nearly attained his seventy-third year. He has resided iu this immediate oommunity for the long period of more than a half century. He eerved as a private soldier in the Seniinoie war, among the ever? glades of Florida, and when over sixty years of age, again shouldered his mus? ket in behalf of the Confederacy, in its heroic struggle for independence. A statement is going the rounds of the i press to the effect that the Hon. Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, has never been in? terviewed by a newspaper man, and that he never intended to be. This is a mis? take. While Mi. Wioa was Governor of Virginia he was interviewed half an hour in the executive mansion at Rich? mond by Daniel Pratt, Jr., the great American traveler, who was at the time editor of the Gridiron. ' The result of the interview was that Wise called Pratt a fool. A premium on tho notes of broken banks was a rather anomalous offer made in our advertising columns yesterday by a brokeruge firm, soliciting tbe rfarrency of defunct banks, The explanation is that the notes can be used as a basis for tho organization of new national banks iu districts where tha quota of banking privileges is already filled up. The fact 6tunds, therefore,, that a national bank note is worth raorVif the bank be rotten than if the bank is sound. Awfcl Accident.?Two winegrowers, named Rousseuu, were employed in throwing grapes into a vat at Gevvey, France, recently, and a man was sent dowu io tread them,-but was suffocated by the gases arising from fermentation. Ouc of tbo proprietors went down to help him, and shured tho same fato. The survivor followed, and was likewise piostruted. Their mother then went down and was overpowered, and when taken out she was tho only one that could be brought back to consciousness. Death of a Northern Visitor at Aiken.?Mr. James Abercromio, Jr., only son of tho Rev. James Abercromie, of the Episcopal Church at Lockport, N. 1\, died ut Aiken, S. C, on Saturday lust.
