COLUMBIA. & C. Wednesday Morning, November 13, '72 A Glance at Mexico. While all caps are thrown op for '3he triumphant re-election of President -Grant, lot us take a glance atonr neigh '^fcering republic of Mexioo, whcxo they ifcavo recently had an eleotion for Presi? dent also, resulting in a more complete -victory than General Grant's. This classics country, as beautiful as it has vbeeu unfortunate, see tue about to enter ' upon a new era of assured peace and ma? terial development. A prey to internal ?dissensions, and the helpless victim of "the ambitious sohemes of factions mili -iaiy leaders, it is matter of congratula "itou that its day of quiet seems at insfc to have dawned. Upon the sudden death of President Juarez, in December, the -supreme power was devolved upon Mr. ierdo de Tejada, Chief Justice of the .'Supremo Court. This gentleman, as ? also General Porflrio Diaz, had been a -competitor of Jaarez for the offico of President. He gracefully acquiesced in ?tho result of Juarez's election, bat Diaz >. refused, and headed an open revolt against his authority. The strength of xthis movement could not, however, stand the test of the general disapproval and opposition to it on the patt of the > moetxespeotable classes, and was brought *> to-auend by Juarez just preceding his * death. -.Tbieoveiit placed Mr. Lardo do Tejada : provisionally at the head of the Govern? ment. He L.;j proved equal to tho occa? sion. He availed himself of tho oppor? tunity to manifest to the country his su? periority to intrigue, and his elevation ? .above more party politics, and to indi- 1 " cato .-a policy of government which i ailancsd .all opposition to him. He has ^ustboen elected President for a term of lour years, almost unanimously?there being, it iB stated, but a few scattering '?votes iu opposition. Recent despatches . inform ub that a programmo of the .course the President proposes for him ?celi has been made public, and may be condensed in this phrase: "Little poli - tics and much administration." It is of excellent augury that he has already re? linquished the extraordinary powors with ?whioh he was invested. Gen. Porflrio Diaz has sent in his submission to the . Government and surrendered his forces, and the President elect proposes to for . give him and Trevino, another promi? nent rebel general, and restore them to ?their former rank in tho army. He likewise designs to institute some needed reforms in the laws and service of the ..country, and to foster railroad onter ,-? prises, and other great improvements. British capitalists, assisted by tho Go - vornmont, have been engaged, since the fall of Muximiliau's empire, in construct? ing u great line of railway between the port of Vera Cruz and tho capital of Mexioo. It will be opened to travel on 1st December, proximo, the day fixed for the inauguration of Presidont Lurdo ? de Tejada. Tho people of Mexico, now ?iiannily rid of party politics and military pronunciamenios, regard this coincidence with no little enthusiasm, and find a .more wholesome and pleasing excite? ment in the prospects which the comple? tion and opening of this great trunk railway open up to their whole country. It will place the City of Mexioo within twenty-four hours of the Gulf coast, and open to commerce a region of coun? try rich in soil and mine rain, and the -balmiest under the sun. And, better etill, it plainly appoars to be the inten? tion of the new President to make the completion of thin railway to tho capital - the initial point for the establishment of a grand national railway system, which shall make communication with all parts of the republic easy and safe. Mr. Plumb, formerly the representative of -the United States in Mexico, has drawn up and presented to tho Mexican Con? gress an elaborate and well-matured pro? ject for constructing a systom of rail? ways to connect the terminus of tho 'Vera Croz Road at tho capital with tho groat mining regions of Northorn and Woutorn Mexico, with tho United States frontier on the Rio Grande, uud event? ually with tho Pacifio coast. Concurrently with these labors of Mr. Plumb, Geueral Rosccrauz is pressing upon tho consideration of the people and Government a schemo of narrow-gauge railways, with which ho proposes to net tho whole republic. A hented discussion has taken place iu Congress between tho advocates of the rival roads. Tho ad? vantages of the schemo of Mr. Plumb seem to bo conceded, becauso it will make a direct lino to the United States, and be a broad gauge road. Industry, -trade, travel, bnsed upon internal quiet and poaoe with other nations, will be the now order of things. It is likewise con? fidently expected that a satisfactory set? tlement will bo made of all the difficulties between Mexico and tho United States, and'*a bettor state of things brought about on tho Rio Grande. Mexico is a country of romantic inte? rest. Its soil is prolific in tho produc? tion of ell crops, and its olimate unsur? passed even by that of Itsly and Spain. It was the sent of 'he highest Indian civilization, und under "ho Montezntnas, attained a remarkable degree of pros? perity and rcfiuomeut. The during ex? pedition of Cortez, as told by old chroui olere, and more fully and elegantly por? trayed by Prescol t, is one of tho most thriiiing record* in history. As a sister repnblio and a close neighbor, the Ame? rican people naturally feel a deep inte? rest in the fate of Mexico. We rejoice in her progress towards a sound und happy condition, under good govern? ment and wholesome laws, aided by modern improvements, and all practica? ble material development. In South Carolina this interest is heightened by tho remembrance of the heroic achievements of her famous Palmetto Regimont, most of whose mem? bers?officers and privates?fell npon Mexican soil, either in battle, or in disease, tho oonsequonce of exposure and wounds, and by the agreeable and instructive volumes of history and reminiscence of that oountry, writteu by two of her most distinguished sons iu tho diplomatic service?Joel R. Poiutsett aud Waddy Thompson. Alas! the poor animals! No sooner are tho horses getting a little better than tho pigs are threatened with an epi? demic. Tho sr.-ine pest, it is stated, is on its way from Cuuada. The dogi, the cows, tho cats, nnd all the rest of the quadrupeds will fall sick, we suppose, in itheir tarn. The horse sickness will not have come in vain if it sufficiently re? minds us that, if, as animals depend upon us, we also depend npon animals; nnd if wo arc also taught that all our do? mestic beasts require as much Hanitnry care us man does. Living in a half un? natural condition, and not allowed any natural liberty of choice in their habits, ! they are entirely at our mercy, aud with only tbo^ poor protection of human cupidity ngniust neglect and ill-treat? ment. ? ???-? .. - ? Tho New York Tribune, of tho Sib, among its conclusions as to tho causes aud tho general result of the lato Presi? dential "election, indicates as ono of tho reasons of the largo majority of General Grant: "The great mass of our people feel no sympathy for those they still regard as rebels. On tho contrary, they hold that these have been treated more le? niently than they deserve. The majori? ty will tolerate, not approve, tho gift of offico to a Longstreet, an Akerman, u Settle, who has been baptized into fbe Republican church; but they are not willing that any others shall hold office where they can prevent it." Columbia, S. C. November 12, 1872. Editor Da'iOY Phoenix: Please do me tho favor of publishing the following despatch. J. L. NEA.GL10. New York, November 12, 1872. To J. L. Neagle, Comptroller-General, j Columbia, S. C: i.he North liriiiidi und Mercantile Insurance Company's fire surplus is over 83,000,000. Tho Boston conflagration will not reduce it over 3600.000. (Signed) WM. CONNER. CHAS. E. WHITE. SAM'L P.BLOGDEN, Association Manugers. Resuming? the Editorial Chair.?Tho card of Mr. Greeley, announcing his re? sumption of editorial duties, should be hailed as a boon to tho whole country. He says: A Card.?Tho undersigned resumes the editorship of the Tribune, which he relinquished to embark in another line of business six mouths ago. Hcncoforth it shall be his endeavor to inako this a thoroughly independent journal, treating all parties nnd political movements with judicial fairness nnd candor; but court? ing the favor and deprecating tho wrath of no ono. If ho can hereafter 9ay any? thing that will tend to heartily unite tho whole American people on tho broad platform of universal oranest3' nnd im? partial suffrage, ho will gladly do so. For tho present, however, ho can best commend that consummation by silence iyid forbearance. Tho victors in our late struggle cau hardly fuil to take tho wholo subject of Southern rights und wrongs into early and earnest considera? tion, aud to thorn, for tho present, he remits it. Siuoo ho never will again be a cuudidato for any office, aud is not iu full accord with either of tho great par? ties which have hitherto divided tho country, ho will bo ablo und will endea? vor to give wider and steadier regard to tho progress of soiouce, industry and useful nrts than a partisan journal can do; and ho will not bo provoked to in? duiguueo iu those bitter personalities which aro tho recognized baue of jour? nalism. Sustaiued by a goucrous public, he will do his best to mako tho Tribune a power iu tho broader field it now con? templates as whon human freodom was in peril it was in tho arena of political partisanship. HORACE GREELEY. New York, Novomber G, 1872. Superstitious.?In Indianapolis, a few days ago, tho heart of a mad dog which had billon a child was taken out and boiled, aud tho broth given to the child as a preventive of hydrophobia. The Esouriax.?The History op its Fires ?Tho lato fire at tho Spanish Es? oarial is not the first from which that palaoo baa suffered. Tho Epoca, of Ma? drid, gives the following details on the subject: "On tho 21st July, 1677, the eleotriu fluid fell on the Botica Tower and tho flames spread to the sacristy. On tho 3d September, 1590, the light? ning fell upon the bell tower, ontered by the balcony of the apartment the Xing ordinarily occupied, traversed the ohoir of tho churoh where tho monks were at complines, without causing any serious damage. The 7th June, 1671, a fire broke out, the f?usfe' of which was un? known. Iu the nuns were found 1,500 'quintals (221j? lbs. each) of molted lead, and 2,000 of bronze, the result of tho fusion of the bells. The repairs cost nearly 9,000,000 reals. The 1st of Sep? tember, 1814, the lightning sutfire to the Campagnn and tho four wings of the building. Besides the damage caused to tho pilace, thoro wero completely de? stroyed the furniture of the hospital, the infirmary, the bakory, tho mill, the cloth faotory and 3,000 fouegaa (112 lbs. oaob) of wheat. Tbe 8th of October, 17G3, an imprudent ironing woman set fire to the pulaoo. The North wing was burned, and u store of wux tapers and torches above it was consumed. The restoration cost 150,-00 reals. In 1S2?, a conflagration, which lasted eighteen hours, destroyed the Damns Tower, the bell tower and the organ. A correspondent of the London Dtti'j/ Neics, speaking of the Escurial, gives un account of some rolies which tbe palace contained, aud which had beeu collected by devout Spanish kings from all quar? ters of the earth. Among these were u bar of the gridirou on which St. Law? rence was burnt; a piece of tbe spougu iu which driuk was given to our Saviour while banging on tho cross; some pieces of the column to which he was bound when scourged; two thorns from his crown; a piece of bis tunic; a piece of tbe manger iu which be was born; tbe tbigb-bouo of St. Paul; some bones of the Evaugelists St. Mark and St. Luke; tbe body of one of tbe Innocents slain by order of Herod; a finger of St. Law? rence and half of hi.* backbone; tbe en? tire bodies of St. Muuriuio, St. Theodo? ras, St. Mercury, St. William, and others; the heads of St. Bias, St. Ju? lian, St. Felix, nud others; a rib of St. Albans; the kuoe of St. Sebastian; a foot of St. Phillip tbe Apostle; one of tbe water pots from tbe marriugo least at Cana, aud other most interesting robes of men and events meulioued in ecclesi? astical history. A Dreadful Scene of Murder.? Troppmuu has qceu imitated nt Szeut Clary, a villoge in lower Hungary. Lur? ing tho night of tho 13th of October, robbers broke into tbe bouse of an inn? keeper, Fruuois Czntscb, and took pos? session of nbout ?,1Q'J worth of money und chattels. Everything "was packed up, and tho robbers were removing the bags, when ono of the gang upset a cb::ir, which awoke tbo landlord, who was sleeping in tbe next room with bis wife. Mr. Czutsch at once jumped out of bed, took a double-barreled gun ami a knife, and opened tbe door, through which bo Gred two shots at tbo brigands, without bitting them. The miscreants then floored tbo unfortunate man, whom they nearly stubbed to death. Mrs. Czutsch, who was awakened by tbe noise, and hurried to tbo help of her husband, was murdered most cruelly. The robbers then got bold of tbo six obildreu, tied aud gagged them, and set tbe house on firo nt tbo two coruors, taking to flight with their booty. Tbe ill-fated houso was soon iu a blaze, and when tho first fire engine appeared on tho spot, tbe mother aud tbe children Ii.?'.I ulieauy been uuiic? undui Lli? full? ing timbers. Tbe laudlord succeeded iu creeping out of tbe fire, and has been able to give some important informa? tion, although there is little hope of his surviving. Ho stated that the assassins were nine iu number, with faces black? ened. Tho police were actively search? ing for tho murderers. Fire Below Beech Island.?A de? structive firo occurred on tbo "Eoglo place," some distance below Beech Isluud, S. O, on last Thursday night. Ou tho place, wero two or three settle? ments, occupied by colored men?two of whom, John White and his father, bad succeeded iu making a flue crop during tho past year. On Thursday night, White, bis futhcr und all tbe family went away to church in tbe neighborhood, leaving a fire burning iu tbo room of their dwelliug. Whilo ab? sent, tbo flames ignited tho wooden pun? cheons in tho chimney, and in a few m'uutos the building was on firo. Tho dwelling aud tbo entire contents wero destroyed, and tbo barn adjoining caught from tbe flamos and was also destroyed, with its contents, consisting of tho pro? ducts of tbo year's labor?six bales of ootton, 200 bushels of corn and sixty fivo bushels of pens. Along with tbo furniture in tbo dwelliug, fifty dollars in currency wero consumed. The number of Dunkulds iu Kansas is from 10,000 to 15,000. They are a quiet, pciceable, industrious people. When tbe men meet at church, they sa luto each other with a kiss. Tbo women sulnto each other likewise. Several hundred of them bad a meeting at Ceu tropolis, Kansas, last week. Clarion, Ky., can boast of the chaui piou gormandizer, in tbo person of a youth, who, after despatching a hearty supper, put away mx oyster stows under bis vest, in nu hour and a half, ab u ladies' fair, and ho still lives. Two lads, unicod Thoxton, living in Spaldiug County, ?a., wero playing with a gun, when it was accidentally dis? charged, and tbo youngest brother, about ten years old, was killed. An Amorican, who was James Foloy when ho lived iu Connecticut, is Signor Foli, now that ho is a basso in Europe Disastrous Efpeots_ of_Last Sum men's Strikes.?Tbo Now fork Btdlelin has a suggestive article showing what the working-men in various parts of the country have lost, and are- still losing, by tho interference of trades' unious with employer aud employed: "The loss to this city, iu wages alouo, by trade driven elsowhero, amounts to several millions of dollars. Nearly all the ship building trudo iu New York, which survived the injudicious legisla? tion of Congress, has been driven to other places. Messrs. Iloaoh & Co. em? ploy over 1,000 men at Chester, on tho Delaware, who would otherwise obtdn employment in this city. It is the same to a greater or lesser extent with every other ship-building firm iu Our city. "Tho loss to tbo printing trade alouc nnounts to more than a 81,000,000 a your. Nearly all thu commercial circu? lars uro now sent to Europo in manu? script and put iu typo thero, owing to tbo high prices which prevail here. Yet this work wasformorly executed entirely in New York. Iu book printing, aho, tho loss is very great, a largo amount of trade having been driven to other cities aud to Cauada. "The sewing machine trade, which is now centred in Bridgeport, Conn., wuh lost to this city by tho tyranny of trades' unions. Messrs. Singer & Co , who em? ploy a total of 3,000 persons, are now building new factories nour Elizabeth, N. J., aud will soou trunsfcr their entire manufactories to that place. The manu iacturiug prospects of Newark has been chiefly built up by energetic New York capitalists, who desired to manage their own business iu their own way. Of course, trades' unionism prevails more or h-S3 everywhere, but its chief strength is iu tho great cities, ri which it seems to develop its more obuoxious traits, 'ihe machine trade has also suffered severely from tim cause. "The piano forte trade still feels the effects of the strike, and we kuow of one firm that meditates the transfer of its eutire business either to New Jersey or Connecticut." War in the East.?If there is any truth in the figures given by tho New York Tribune with regard to tbo military resources of Coroa aud Japan, a war be? tween thoKO two powers will bo a tolera? bly tcrious affair. Coroa is credited with a population of 12,000,000, a stand? ing army of 64.0,000 meu, aud a navy of 2U0 Vessels. Japan has a population four times as large, and many of her sol? diers are armed with the .most effective weapons used by the Western nations. They are a courageous people, and their civil dissensions have taught them at least the elements of the arts of war. At this distance, thu cause of the quarrel is not eutirely clear. It seems that from a very remote period, the Tycoon of Jupan expected tribute from Corea. During thu iatc revolution, the payment was stopped, and tho Tycoon was so much occupied iu taking euro of his dynasty, that he did not resort to compulsory measures. Sinco mat ters have quieted down at home, tho Japanese Govern mout has begun to look after the arrears duo from its tributaries. Curoa has been asked to pay up; but she answers that she owes not lung, uud at the same time presents a counter claim for all that has been exacted siucethe iuvasion by Taico, in the sixteenth eoutury. Wo greatly suspect that there is not money enough iu the world to adjust these little ba? lances, especially if ititerest is exacted, aud that a light is inevitable, from a sheer want of menus to avert it. Good, if True.?The Missionary Re? cord, of which 14. II. Cain, (colored,) the Congressman at Luge from South Caro? lina, is the editor and proprietor, says that tho policy indicated in the Republi? can State conventions "will bo strictly carried out by the Legislature aud Slato officers; aud throughout tho wholo State there will be efforts made to bring about that stato of affairs which will secure to the wholo people a prosperity heretofore uukuowu siuco or buforo reconstructiou." An extraordinary instance of tho in? conveniences arising from tho horse dis? ease is giveu. A gentleman just from Calais, Maine, states that tho mail is curried from that place to Machias, a dis? tance of forty-four miles, by a man on foot, no horse being found able to per? form tho work. It uaed to bo said thnt steam had superseded horses altogether, or was likely to; but we have found out our mistake. Thero is a German girl begging in Boston, who has no bunds, but carries a little tin box strapped about her neck for tho reception of coiu. Sho is said to be "tho possessor of a fiuo houso in this city, aud to bo now building a row of tenement houses in Brooklyn from the funds gathered in her peculiar calling." What a Grant office-holder sho would make I Refiued nickel from tho. protected Pennsylvania mine sells in the marketut ?3 a pound. A nickel cent weighs fift}' six gruiua. Consequently, it would take nearly two aud a quarter pounds of tlie coiued metal to pay for one pound of the raw material; which proves tho immense advantage of shutting out foreign com? petition in a commodity much used in manufacturing industries. Iu White County, Ca., recently, Mr. James II. Trooth aud one of his neigh? bors had a little quarrel over tho division of some corn. Trooth was crushed to tho earth, but he rose again and van? quished his assailant, and uow the eternal ears of com tiro his. An engine belonging to tho Grand Trunk Railway has made 2,500 trips be? tween Port 11 iirou and Detroit, a dis? tance of 1?O.000 miles, without being taken off her wheels, or scarcely nuy re? pairs. The body of a colored man, named Jim MoKitbau, who bus recently been at work in South Carolina, was found dead in tho woods, near Whituvillo, S. C, on tho 10th. Tho remains were much de? cayed.

Tboro was a premium offered for the best cr?ohet quilt, to bo exhibited at the State Fair, but there was no award. Mrf, P. H. Joynor, of this city, uud a lady from Durliugtun, competed.

The Mount Cenis Tonnel.? Italy is aroused to tho wealth that the Mount Ceuis tunnel, and her favorable eiiuatiou as a commercial highway, will pour into her lap, if she is only wise and enter? prising enough to take ndvautage of this opportunity. A new oceun steamship company has been formed at Milan, with a capital of S20,000,000. Tho steamers of tbe company will ply between Genoa, Veuico and other Italian cities, and through tho Suez Conal, with India, Chiua and Australia. This is only part of tbo plan, which looks to tbe ultimate restoration of Italy to her old promi? nence. Tho formerly nearly impossible barrier of tbo Alps has already been pierced in ono place, and is ulso to be cut through Mount St. Gothard. Ger? many will assist Italy by the last route all in her power, to divert commerce from Franco, and tbe latter country, fully awaro of tbo danger, is exerting herself to preserve her old supremacy.
