Ward White, at Bedd villo, in Spartanburg County, and others that might be mentioned, attest a grow? ing-interest in this cause, whioh it gives as no little pleasure to note. As of the same character, and manifesting the same enlightened spirit, we may proper? ly recall to mind the liberal contribu? tions made in this State in favor of the University at Sewanee, in Tennessee, in answer to the representations and appeals of Bishop Qaintard and Qeneral Ker shaw. The example of. Mr. Peabody, in dis? posing so handsomely of a large portion of his great wealth in aid of the cause of eduoation in the. South, is one that can? not be too much commended. He has done immense good to mankind, espe? cially to the poor, both of England and this country. He has transmitted his name to after generations, by associating ? it with their intelleotaal advancement, erowned with the glory and fresh with the fragrance of disinterested mnnifi? oenoe. He was sagacious and honorublo in accumulating his great fortune; he was wise and humane in disposing of it. We have the opportunity to-day of pay? ing the same tribute to Commodore Yun derbilt, of New York, who has just given $500,000 to Bishop MoTyeire, of the Southern Methodist Ghuroh, to establish a university in Tennessee. The Board of Trust has been oalled to meet to-day, at Nashville, by Bishop MoTyeire, in order that they may report to the Board of Bishops, whioh is to meet in May? that this amount has been pledged. Tho College of Bishops oonsists of Bishops Paine, Barley, Wightman, Doggett, Keener, Pierce, MoTyeire, Kavanaugh and Marvin. A half million more re? mains to bo raised,, a ad- leading Metho? dists of Tennessee think that it can be done without serious difficulty.

Here is riohness for yon from the Sa? vannah' Advertiser. \ It relates that Mr. Montmollin, of that city, is under some sentence of punishment for an alleged violation of the lawa of South Carolina; that Mr. J. D. Robertson, whom it terms Senator, but who is a member of the House of Bepresontativea of this State from Beaufort County, lately ap? proached Mr. Montmollin, professing himself to be th<* agent of Ooveruor Moses, with a proposition to dismiss the case, if he would fork over to him 8500. Mr. Montmollin very naturally showed him the door, aud subsequently had him arrested for a libel in connection with this some aase, and bound over to appear at the criminal teim of the court. The Adeeriiser represents J. D. Bobinson's face as wreathed in smiles, his voice mel? lowed and softened as it oonveyed this dishonest proposal. We think wu see him, this mau whose speeches in favor of reform were always oontradioted point blanc by his votes. Will Mr. Robertson explain this new effort of his to abate the rigor of the criminal lawn of the State? or will Governor Moses ac? knowledge him as his planipotentiary to our sister city of Savannah to settle by acceptance of douceurs tho injury done the majesty of these laws of a sovereign, Radical, Republican State? The "Confederate Chiefs. "?A Radi? cal paper, having asked a oertain ques? tion, the Tribune, of New York, auswers it, and a very effectual answer it is, too? short, sharp and to tho point. The question was ur to what uso tho "Con? federate chiefs" were making of the clemency of the Government, the Radi? cal paper, of course, presuming that the party to which it belongs had the right to exeroiso a general aupervisiou over these gentlemen, as if they were a parcel of school boys. The Tribune thinks, in answer to the query, that "the ohiefs" are engaged in trying to seouro a re? spectable livelihood. Mr. Davis is pre? sident of an insurance company. Mr. Stephens is writing for a newspaper. Messrs. Beauregard and Bragg superin? tend street railways, Hood is a ootton factor, Hill keeps school, Bun. Hill praotices law, so does Semmes, Forrest keeps a livery stable, H. V. Johnson is a planter. Other names and avooations are mentioned, but these are enough.

A Triumphant Bbcobd.?In glanoing back at tbe history of proprietary medi? cines in this oountry, it becomes ?t once evident tbat HoBtetter's Stomaob Bitters bos been tbe most suoocssf ul of them all. The reoord of its triumphs covers a period of about twenty years, and dar? ing that time it has probably restored to health and vigor a greater number of de? bilitated invalids than all other tonics I and alteratives combined. The amount of disease and suffering tbat has been prevented by its extensive use as a pre? ventive medioine is, of course, nns6oer tained, but it is a well known and un? disputed faot tbat the malaria whioh generates periodic fevers and many other distressing and dangerous disor? ders seldom, if ever, produced any inju? rious effect upon systems that have been fortified ia advance by a oourse of this invaluable vegetable tonic.

He seized the noose dramatically and, shaking it before the orowd, said: "Just remember that rope if you go into a oaloon and get tight. See what that liquor will bring you to as well as it has brought me to; Remember that now, and look oat for yourselves." What more impressive temperance lecture than this was ever delivered?
