COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday ??rni?s, November 13, '72 A Glance at Mexico. While all caps are thrown op for J"uu triumphant re-election of President Grant, lot ns take a glance at oar neigh ?"boriug republic of Mexioo, where they ifcavo recently had nn eleotion for Presi? dent also, resulting iu a more complete victory than General Grant's. This classic country, as beautiful as it has <beeu unfortunate, seems about to enter ' upon a new era of assured peace and ma? terial development. A prey to internal 'dissensions, and the helpless victim of Iho ambitious schemes of factious mili <imy leadors, it is matter of congratula? tion that its day of quiet seems at last to have dawned. Upon the sudden death of President Juarez, in December, the -supreme power was devolved upon Mr. Xerdo de Tejada, Chief Justice of the -Qapremo Court. This gentleman, as - else General Pornrio Diaz, had been a -competitor of Juarez for the offioo of President. He gracefully acquiesced in ?the result of Juarez's election, but Diaz iofused, and headod an open revolt against his authority. The strength of '?-this movement could not, however, stand the test of the general disapproval -.and opposition to it on the part of the moat respectable elasses, and was brought to an end by Juarez just preceding his death. -Thie-ovetri; placed Mr. Lsrdo do Tejada provisionally at the head of tho Govern ?ment. Ho has proved equal to tho occa? sion. He availed himself of the oppor? tunity to manifest to the country his su? periority to intrigue, and his elevation .above mere party politics, and to indi? cate .-a policy of government which ?silannsd -.all opposition, to him. He has ^ustboen elected President for a term of four years, almost unanimously?there .being, it is stated, but a few scattering T?tes iu opposition. Recent despatches inform us that a programme of thu .course the President proposes for him? self has been made public, and may bo 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 ?which he was invested. Gen. Pornrio Diaz has sent in his submission to the Government and surrendered his forces, and the President eleot proposes to for? give him and Trevino, anothor promi . nent rebel general, and restore them to ??their former rank in tho army. He likewise designs to institute some needed reforms in tho laws and sorvico of the ..country, and to foster railroad enter uprises, and other great improvements. British capitalists, assisted by the Go? vernment, have been engaged, since the fall of Maximilian's empire, iu construct? ing a 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 Lhb inauguration cf President Lcrdc ? de Tejada. The people of Mexico, now ?happily rid of party politics and military pronunciamenlos, regard this coincidence with no little enthusiasm, and find a .more wholesome and pleasing oxcite -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 Mexico within trenty-four hours of the Gulf coast, and open to commerce a region of coun ?try rioh in soil and minerals, and the -balmiest under the sun. And, better ctill, it plainly appoars to be the inten? sion of tho new President to make the ? completion of this railway to tho capital - the initial point for the establishment of a grand natioual railway Bystem, which shall make oommuuioation with all parts of the republio easy and safe. Mr. Plumb, formerly the representative of ?the United State? in Mexico, has drawu up and presented to tho Mexican Con? gress an elaborate and well-matured pro? ject for constructing a system of rail? ways to connect tho terminus of tho 'Vera Cruz Road at the capital with tho groat mining regions of Northern and Weutorn Mexico, with tho United States frontier on the Rio Grande, aud event? ually with tho Pacific coast. Concurrently with theso labors of Mr. Plumb, Genoral H?scoranz is pressing upon the consideration of tho people and Go7oruraeut a scheme of narrow-gauge railways, with which ho proposes to net tho wholo republio. A heated discussion has tukou place in Congress between tho advocates of tho rival roads. Tho ad? vantages of tho schemo of Mr. Plumb seem to bo conceded, becauso it will make a direct lino to tho l/uited States, and ba a broad gauge road. Industry, -trade, travel, based upon iuternal quiet and peace with other nations, will bo the now order of things. It is likewise con? fidently expected that a satisfactory set? tlement will bo made of all the difficulties botween Mexico and tho United States, and *a bettor Btate of things brought about on the Bio Grande. Mexioo is a country of romantic inte? rest. Its soil is prolific in tho produc? tion of all crops, and its olimnte unsur? passed even by that of Italy and Spain. It wna the seat of the highest Indian civilization, und under the Montezuinas, attained a remarkable degree of pros? perity and refinement. The daring ex? pedition of Cortez, as told by old chroui clere, and more fully aud elegantly por? trayed by Prescott, is one of tho most thrilling records in history. As a sister republic and a close neighbor, the Ame? rican people naturally feel a deep inte? rest in the fate of Mexico, We rejoico 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 tbe heroic achievements of her famous Palmetto Begiment, most of whose mem? bers?officers and privates?fell upon Mexican soil, either in battle, or in disease, tho consequence of exposure and wounds, and by the agreeable and instructive volumes of history aud reminiscence of that country, written by two of her most distinguished eons in tho diplomaticservioe?Joel B. Pointsett and Waddy Thompson. Alas! the poor animals! No sooner are tho horses getting a little better than the pigs are threatened with an epi? demic. The swine pest, it is stated, is on its way from Canada. The dogs, tho cows, tbo cats, and all the rest of the 1 quadrupeds will fall sick, wo suppose, in their turn. The horse nickness will not have come in vaiu if it sufficiently re? minds us that, if, as animals depend upon us, we also depend upon animals; and if we arc also taught that all our do? mestic boasts require as much sanitary 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, nud with only the poor protection of human cupidity against neglect and ill-treat? ment. < ? ?-? Tho New York Tribune, of tbo Sib, among its conclusions as to tbo causes and tho general result of tbo late Presi? dential 'election, indicates :n ono of tho reasons of tbe large majority of General Grant: "Tho great mass of our people feel no sympathy for those they still regard as rebels. On tho contrary, they bold that these have been treated more le? niently than they deserve. Tbe majori? ty will tolerate, not approve, tbo gilt oi offico to a Longstreet, an Akerman, a Settle, who has been baptized into tbo Republican church; but they are not willing that any others shall hold offico where they can prevent it." Columbia, S. C. Novembor 12, 1872. Emron Da.?y Pucsnix: Pleaao do me tho favor of publishing tbo following despatch. J. L. NEAGLhl. Nei? Y^ke November 12 1S72. To J. L.

Res cm ix? the Editorial Chair.?-The card of Mr. Greeley, announcing bis re? sumption of editorial duties, should be hailed as a boon to tbe whole country. He says: A Card.?Tbo undersigned resumes the editorship of tbo Tribune, which he relinquished to embark in another line of business six months ago. Henceforth it shall be his endeavor to inako this a thoroughly independent journal, treating all parties and political movements with judicial fairness and candor; but court? ing the favor and deprecating tbo wrath of no ono. If ho can hereafter 9ny any? thing that will tend to heartily unite tbo wholo American people on tbo broad platform of universal amnesty and im? partial suffrage, bo will gladly do so. For tbo present, however, ho can host commend that consummation by sileuce and forboarnuco. Tho victors in our late struggle cau hardly fuil to tako tbo whole subjeot of Soutborn rights aud wrongs into early and earnest considera? tion, and to tbcm, for tho present, he remits it. Siuoo ho never will again be a candidate for any office, and is not iu full accord with cither of tbo great par? ties which have hitherto divided tbe country, ho will bo ablo and will endea? vor to givo wider and steadier regard to tbo progress of science, industry nud useful arts than a partisan journal cau do; and ho will not bo provoked to in? dulgence in those bittor personalities which aro tbo recognized bann of jour? nalism. Sustained by a geucrous public, he will do bis best to ?r?ako tbo Tribune a power in tbo broader field it now con? templates as wbon human freedom was in peril it was in the arena of political partisanship. HORACE GUEELEY. New York, November 6, 1872. 4) m t. - Superstitious.?In Indianapolis, a few days ago, tbo heart of a mad dog which bad bitten a child was takon out and boiled, and tbo broth givon to tbe child as a preventive of hydrophobia. The Esourx5.li--Tnc History of its Firbs ?Tbo late fire at the Spanish Es? oarial is not the first from which that palaoo has suffered. The Epoca, of Ma? drid, gives the following details on the subjeot: "Ou the 21st Jaly, 1577, the electric fluid fell on the Botioa Tower aud the flames spread to the sacristy. On tho 3d September, 1590, the light? ning fell upon the bell tower, entered by the balcony of the apartment tho King ordinarily ocoupied, traversed the choir of tho chnroh where the monks were at oompiines, without causing any serious damage. The 7th Juuo, 1671, a fire broke out, the ca'vtsV of which v.as un? known. In the rums wore found 1,500 quintals (221}? lbs. each) of molted lead, aud 2,000 of bronze, I ho result of tbo fusion of the bells. Tbo repairs cost nearly 9,000,000 reals. The 1st of Sep? tember, 1811, tho lightning sutfireto the Campagna and tho four wings of thu building. Besides the damage caused to the pilace, thorc wore completely de? stroyed the furniture of the hospital, the infirmary, the bakery, tho mill, the cloth faotory and 3,000 fouegua (112 lbs. oaob) of wheat. The 8th of October, 1763, an imprudent ironiug womun sot fire to the palaoo. The North wing was burned, and u store of wax tapers aud torches above it was consumed. The restoration oost i?O.uOO reals. Iu 1820, a conflagration, which lasted eighteen hours, destroyed thu Damns Tower, the bell tower and the organ. A correspondent of tho London Daily Neics, speaking of the Escurial, gives an account of some relics which the palace contained, and which had been collected by devout Spanish kings from all quar? ters of the earth. Among these were u bar of the gridiron on which St. Law? rence was burnt; a piece of the sponge iu which drink was given to our Saviour while hanging on the cross; sonie pieces of tho columu to whioh he was bound when scourged; two thorns from his orown; a piece of his tunic; a piece of the manger in which ho was born; tho thigh-bouo of St. Paul; some boues of the Evaugelists St. Mark aud St. Luke; the body of one of the Innocents slain by order of Herod; a finger of St. Law? rence aud half of his backbone; the en? tire bodies of St. Mauricio, St. Theodo? ras, St. Mercury, St. \Villiam, and others; the heads of St. Bias, St. Ju? lian, St. Felix, and others; a rib of St. Albans; the knee of St. Sebastiau; a foot of St. Phillip the Apostle; one of the water pots from the marriage feast at Cann, and other most interesting relics of meu and events mentioned iu ecclesi? astical history. A Dreadfcjj Scene of Murder.? Troppmau has qeeu imitated at Szent Clary, a village in lower Hungary. Dur? ing the night of tho 13th of Octubor, robbers broke into the house of an inn? keeper, Francis Czntsch, and took pos? session of about ?200 worth of money und chattels. Everything was packed up, and tho robbers were removing the bags, when ouo of the gang upset a chair, which awoke tho iaudlord, who was sleeping in the next room with his wife. Mr. Czutsch at once jumped out of bed, took a double-barreled gun and u knife, and opeued the door, through which he Grcd two shots at tho brigands, without hitting them. The miscreauts then floored tho unfortunate man, whom they nearly stabbed to death. Mrs. Czntsch, who was awakened by the noise, nnd hurried to tho help of her husbaud, was murdered most cruelly. Tbo robbers thou got bold of tho six ohildreu, tiod and gagged them, and set the house on uro at tho two corners, taking to flight with their booty. The ill-fated house wn.*? Pr>r,ii in s*. blitze end when tho first lire engine appeared on the spot, the mother aud tho children had already becu buried under tho fall? ing timbers. The landlord succeeded in creeping out of tho fire, and has boen able to give some important informa? tion, although thero is little hope of his surviving. Ho stated that the assassins were nine iu number, with facos black? ened. Tho police were actively seurch iug for the murderers. Fire Below Beech Island.?A de? structive firo ocourred ou tho "Euglo place," some distance below Boech Island, S. C, on last Thursday night. On the place, were two or thrco settle? ments, ocoupied by colored men?two of whom, John White and his father, had succeeded iu makiug a flue crop during the past year. Ou Thursday night, White, his father und all the family went away to church in the neighborhood, leaving a firo buruiog iu tho room of their dwelling. Whilo ab? sent, tho flames iguited tho wooden pun? cheons in the chimney, and in a few minutes the building was on lire. Tho dwelling and the entire contents were destroyed, and tho barn adjoiuing caught from tho flamos aud was also destroyed, with its contents, consisting of tho pro? ducts of tho year's labor?six bales of cotton, 200 bushels of corn and sixty fivo bushols of peas. Along with the furniture in tho dwelliug, fifty dollars in currency wero cousumed. The uumbor of Dunkatds iu Kansas is from 10,000 to 15,000. Thoy aro a quiet, peaceable, industrious people. When tho meu meet at church, they sa? lute each other with a kiss. The women salute each other likewiso. Several hundred of them had a meeting at Gen tropolis, Kausus, last week. Clarion, Ky., can boast of tho cham? pion gormandizer, in tho person of a youth, who, after despatching a hearty supper, put ttWny 'rix oyster stews under bis vent, iu au hour and a half, at a ladies' fair, and ho still lives. Two lads, namod Thoxton, living in Spaldiug Couuty, Ga., wero playing with a gun, when it was uccidoutully dis? charged, aud tho youngest brother, about teu years old, was killed. An Amoricau, who was James Foloy when ho livod iu Connecticut, is Signor Fob, now that ho is u basso in Europe DlBASTituua Err no i n OF Li AST SUM meh's Stkikes.?Tbo Now York Bulletin has a suggestive articlo showing what the .working-men in various parts of tbo country have lust, aud are- still losing, by the interference of trades' unions with employer and employed: "The loss to this city, in wages alono, by trade drivon elsewhere, amounts to several millions of dollars. Nearly all the ship building trudo iu New York, which survived tbe injudicious legisla? tion of Congress, has been driven to other places. Messrs. Roach & Co. em? ploy over 1,000 men at Chester, on tbe Delaware, who would otherwise obtiin employment in this city. It is tbu same to a groater or lesser extent with every other ship building firm iu ?ur city. "Tho loss to the printing trade alone a nuunts to more than a 81,000,000 a your. Nearly all tho commercial circu? lars aro now sent to Europe in munu seript and put iu type there, owing to tbo high prices which prevail here. Yet this work was formerly executed entirely iu Now York. In book printing, aho, tbe loss is very great, a large amount of trade having been driveu to other cities und to Cuuada. "Tbe sewing machine trade, which is now centred in Bridgeport, Conu., was lost to this city by tbo tyranny of trades' unions. Messrs. Singer & Co , who em? ploy a total of 3,000 persons, are now building new factories near Elizabeth, N. J., and will soou transfer their entire manufactories to that place. The manu? facturing prospects of Newark has been cbielly built up by energetic Now York capitalists, who desired to manage their own business iu their own way. Of course, trades' unionism prevails more or less everywhere, but its chief strength is in tbo great citius, i'j which it soems to develop its more obnoxious traits, 'i'bo machine trade has also suffered severely from this cause. "Tbo piano forte trade still feels the effects of tbe strike, und we know of one firm that meditates tbe transfer of its cutire business either to New Jersey or Connecticut." War in the East.?It there is any troth in the figures given by tbo New York 7W6im?witb regard to tbe military resources of Corea and Japan, a war be? tween those two powers will bo a tolera? bly terious affair. Corea i^ credited with a population of 12,000,000, a stand? ing army of 0-10,000 uiuu, nud a navy of 200 vessels. Japan has a population four times as largo, aud many of her sol? diers are armed with tbo .most effective weapons used by tbe Western nations. Tbey are a courageous people, aud their civil dissensions have taught them nt leust the elements of tbe arts of war. At this distance, thu cause of the quarrel is not entirely clear. It seems that from a very remote period, tbo Tycoon of Japan expected tribute from Corea. During tbo late revolution, tho payment was stopped, and tbo Tycoon was so much occupied iu taking euro of bis dynasty, that he did not resort to compulsory measures. Sinco matters have quieted down at home, tbo Japanese Govern incut bus begun to look after tbe arrears duo from its tributaries. Corea has been asked to pny up; but she auswors that she owes notbiug, aud at tbo satno time presents a couuter claim for nil that has been exacted since tbe iuvasion by Taico, in the sixteenth century. We greatly suspect that there is not niouey enough iu tho world to adjust these little luv lances, especially if interest is exacted, und that a fight iu inevitable, from t\ sheer want of menus to avert it. Good, if TliUE.?Tbo Mis sionari/ ltd cord, of which R. If. Cain, [c dored,) tin Congressman ut large from South CaiO' linu, is tbe editor aud proprietor, says that tbo policy indicated in tbe Republi? can State conventions "will bo strictly carried out by tbo Legislature nod Stati officers; nud throughout tbo wholo Statt: there will be efforts made to bring about that state of affairs which will secure tt tbe whole people a prosperity heretofore unknown siueo or before reconstruction.' An extraordinary instance of tbo in conveniences arising from the horse dis ease is giveu. A gentleman juut from Calais, Maine, states that tbo mail Ii curried from that place to Muchhn, u dis? tance of forty-four miles, by a man or foot, no horse being found able to per form tbo work. It used to bo said that steam bud superseded horses altogether, or was likely to; but wo have fouud on1 our mistake. There is a German girl begging ii Boston, who lias no bands, but carries t little tin box strapped about her neck foi tbe reception of coiu. Sho is said to b< "tbo possessor of a liuo bouse in tkh city, aud to bo now building a row o tenement bouses in Brooklyn from tb( funds gathered in her peculiar calling.' What a Grunt office-holder sho woulc makcl Refiuod nickel from tho proleotec; Pennsylvania mine sells in tbe market a S3 a pound. A nickel cent weighs fifty six grains. Consequently, it would tuk< nearly two and a quartor pounds of tin coined metal to pay for one pound of tin raw material; which proves tbo immonsi advantage of shutting out foreign com petition in a commodity much used it manufacturing industries. In White County, Ga., recently, Mr. James II. Trootb and one of bis neigh' bors hud a little quarrel over tho divisioi of some com. Trootb was crushed tc tbo earth, but he rose again and van quisbod his assailant, and now the etcrun ears of com are bis.
