COLUMBIA. S. C. Wednesday Horning, April 16,18?. What Briqham Youno Has Done and ExrnoTa to Do.?Tho New York Herald publishes a letter from Brigham Young, dated Salt Lake City, April 10, and' transmitted by telegraph. The oele brated old sinner, or saint, gives a oon oise aooount of his achievements and in? tentions. Ho says: "For over forty years, I have servod my people, laboring incessantly, and am! now nearly seventy-two years of age, and I need relaxation. My resignations as trustee in trust for the church, as President of Zion's Go-operative Mer? cantile Institution and of the Deseret National Bank, are made solely from Becular oarea and responsibilities, and do not affect my position as President of. the ohuroh. In that, papaoity, T shall still exercise supervision over business, eooleaiastioaTana secular?leaving, the mi nuti/o to: younger men."" ^ After referring briefly to the success? ful management of the Mormon financial institutions, he eontinaes: "Our railroads are in good condition. The Utah Central is thirty-seven miles long; its gross earnings for 1872 were $420,000. The expenses, in ronnd hum-, bars, were $210,000; the net earnings were $210,000, I state these facts, as efforts may be made to damage the cre? dit o! these institntions. There is an? other railroad here also doing good busi? ness. The Utah Southern is built about thirty-two miles, narrow gauge. Roads connecting with this are being construct? ed into Little Oottonwood, Binghaml Canyon and American Fork, to meet the demand for transportation to and from the various mining camps of these re? gions. The Utah Northern is being con? structed from a junction with the Cen? tral Pacific, through our principal North era settlements into South-eastern Idaho, and other narrow gauge roads are in con-, Btraotion or in contemplation. "We intend.establishing settlements in Arizona, in the country of the Apoohos, persuaded that if we become acquainted with them we oan influence them to peaoe in accordance with Presi? dent-Grant's Indian policy, and open np that country to settlement by the whites. Our cities, towns and villages now ex? tend abont 400 miles in that direction; and, in view of the railroad crossing that ? country, wa hope to be prepared to as? sist in its construction, and when com? pleted, bring a large portion of our emi? gration that way to settle the country." He next alludes to the policy of his Government to promote the agricultural interest, and its great sucoess, and calls .attention to the iron and coal mines of Utah, for the development of which he relies mainly on foreign capital. He de? nies the often repeated story that he has several millions pounds sterling deposit? ed to his credit in'the Bank of England. He sums up as follows: "The result of my labors for the last twenty-six years, briefly summed up, are: The peopling of this Territory by the Lit tu r- Day Saints of about 100,000 souls; the founding of over 200 aities, towns- and villages, inhabited by our people,, which extend to Idaho in the North, - Wyoming in the East, Nevada in the West and Arizona in the South, and the establishment of schools, factories mills and other institutions calculated to benefit and improve our community." ? There is a Judge in Missouri who has given an ex cathedra oonsolation to all officials who are required by their office to pass or execute a sentence of death upon convicted murderers. In pronounc? ing a death sentenoe, he.said: "If guilty, you riohly deserve the fate which awaits you; if innocent, it will be a gratification for you to feel that you were hanged without suoh a orime on yonr conaoience; in either cose, you will be delivered from .-a world of euro." There iB more philosophy in this than a man about to be hanged oould reason? ably be expected to adopt; but it ia a very sensible statement of the case, so far aa judicial or executive responsibility goes. Tho'Now Yoik Herald has en elabo? rate editorial article on the causes of the present advance in the onrronoy price of gold, the substance of which is that, after all, clique combinations in Wall street have less to do with it than the natural laws of trade; that we are deeply in debt to foreign countries, and gold is needed to adjust that indebtedness; that the stock on hand is small, and is daily growing less, while we are piling up the importations as if pay-days were never to oome. Conservative Victories at Florence and Georgetown.?A special telegram to tho Charleston News aay?: The mnnioipal election in Florence ? passed off very quietly, and resulted in the eleotion of the citizens' ticket by fifty-four majority. ? The officers elootod are: Intendant?John Kuker.. Wardens ?Jerome P. Chase and W. E. Pear aal, whites, and J. E. Wilson and T. Ben? nett, colored. The result gives general satisfaction. ? The municipal eleotion hold in George? town on the* 7th inst., resulted in a vic? tory for the Fusion or Conservative ticket. The majority of G. B. Congdon ' for Intendant was 184. The Wardens eleoted. are David J. Wilson, Peter Woodbury^John W. Tarbox and Arthur Morgan. Comments on the Modo a Mabsaore." All the New York morning papers of the 14th comment on theModoo massacre. The Herald says tho Instructions given to Oen. Schofleld mean the utter exter? mination of Captain Jaok and his follow? ers, and there will be.no desire to Btay the hand of. retribution. The Indian agents, commissioners and philanthro? pists may do their best to exoite sympa? thy for the treacherous wretches, and to save the peace policy, which has proved so profitable to many of its advooates, bat the people will approve the sentence of extermination. There has been no judgment, no fore thong ht, no firmness, no settled purpose in our Indian polioy; and in this difficulty with Captain Jaok and his band, the action of the authori? ties has been more than ordinarily inju? dicious. We are told tbat~the War De? partment has long known that it was unwice and dangerous to temporize with tUesoMvages: baft the hands of the mur? dered General were tiod by the intrigoes of the peaoe party at Washington, and he was foroed into notion that lost him his life. The xterald thinks the peace system is of questionable exp'edionoy, and believes that mach of the evil can be traced to corrupt influences oouneot ed with the Indian Bureau and the mer? cenary character of onr Indian agents. The Times says that those who think that the murder of General Canby end his associates should be followed by the abandonment of the peace polioy, wonld do well to reflect what that polioy is. It reviews tho principal featnros of that polioy and defends it, saying who shall say the idea was not as amiable *a it was humane? All tho agonta of the Govern? ment have taken their lives in their own hands in dealing with, the .Indiana. They have known this fact and accepted it. It pays a tribute to General Canby'b bravery and experience, bnteays: "ahull we ask the Government to immediately retrace tho steps taken towards the paci? fication of the Indians, and drive those to arms who have taken up the plow and spade? Nothing would be easier; but nothing would be more unwise, more wasteful of the lives of our soldiers and of the people on the border." The Tribune thinks that Friday's ca? tastrophe is the natural, legitimate result of the conduct of tho Government dur? ing the whole progress of the Modoo war. Every step which has been taken by orders from Washington since the first outbreak has been ill-taken. It obarges that Grant's Indian polioy has disastrously and utterly failed to keep peaoe on the frontier. The World strongly condemns tho In I dian polioy, and says that the news of the Modoo massacre pats it to shame. The perfidious assassination of General I Canby and his associates will stir public feeling to its profonndest depths. The Washington National Republican says: "Of course there is only one plan to be pursued by the Government. No matter the cost or the consequences, they muBt be exterminated/ root and branch. So far as they are concerned, tho peace polioy is all nonsense. To dream of civilizing them, is tho sheerest absurdity. To think of conciliating tbom with trinkets and presents of beads and blankets, is pure sentlmentalism. The whole power of Government should, if necessary, be exerted to capture and bring to condign punishment this savage outlaw and his 850 partners in crime, who have pat to the blush the wildest tale of Indian savagery, du plioity and treachery. To be sure, the lives of these worthless oreatnres will be a poor compensation for tbe loss of the gallant soldier who now lies dead upon oar Indian frontier, but it will be some satisfaction to the country to know that I tbe perpetrators of so dark a deed are j forever removed from tbe possibility of committing similar outrages in tbe I future. A stern demand for jastice will jo np from all the land, which can only jo satisfied by making the Modoo name I a memory and a tradition." The press and people, as evidenced by the above extraots, are free in the ex? pression of opinion that a war of exter I ruination should be waged against the hostile bands of Indians infeeting the frontiers of the West. While it is an open question as to whether revenge for the death of two citizens should be sonloioni cauao for a polioy that will probably involvd the massacre of nearly every family that have settled in the far West, there can be no doubt that more I severe measures should be resorted to than has hitherto been used toward "Poor Lo." A Wondeiifotj Disoovsnx.?If tho Washington letter-writers may be be? lieved, a greater than Morse io the in? ventive line haB arisen. The trump of fame sounds with an anaooustomed name -the name of Loomis. The specific thing Mr. Loomis is going to do is to maintain an eleotro-telegraph communi? cation botween Amerioa and the ends of the earth, without the aid of. wires. The cost of Atlantic cables is to be abolished, and a men on the Rooky Mountains is to talk jast as easily to his friend on Mont Blanc, in Switzerland, as if thoy were talking aoross the street. Mr. Loomis is going to do this by atilizing tbe im? mense reservoir of eleotrioity in the at? mosphere two or three miles above tbe earth's surfaoe. Chimerical as this seems to the superficial observer, he has editors, and even Congressmen, enthusi? astically endorsing his conclusions. The Philadelphia Press boosts bim with two columns of praise. i m * ? Oar inBpeotors on the Boston aud Al? bany Railroad have been deteotod in tapping liquor casks in tratisitu and get? ting drunk on tbe proceeds. KducrUlonn.1. ' ' Barnwbdl O. H., 8. O., April 6, 1878. Mi:, Editor: I am gratified to see that you Lave devoted Some space in your excellent paper to*the anbjeot. of education, and hope yon will continue your efforts until a change for the better' takes plaoe in the management of this all-important subjeot. The State ?aper inten dent, in his report to the^Tast Le? gislature, admits that the law9h the sub? jeot is dofootive, and consequently fails of accomplishing the. desired benefit. The question, then, for consideration is, how are tho defects tovbo remedied? I answer, by calling a convention of the teaohers, to moot at Columbia, and con? sult on the boat methods of condnoting this very important interest, upon which depends the necessary training and edu? cation of our youth. Again, I consider that the office of School Commissioner in all the Counties of the State should be filled by teaohers who, from long expe? rience, know how to administer the in? terests of the subject by selecting com? petent teaohers and viBiting and examin? ing the sohools, and thus, by a careful supervision, seoure the blessings of uni? versal eduoation. Another point I wish to oall your at? tention to, is the small compensation al? lowed to teaohers, and thus preventing competent men from engaging in the business. It is this whioh brings so many inoompetent men into our school houses. This ought not to be. A remedy ought to be provided?first, by raising their salaries; and, secondly, by having more vigilant Boards of Examiners. I have made these suggestions merely to call your attention to this muoh-no gleoted and badly managed subjeot, bo necessary to the welfare of our State. . I send you a copy of some resolutions passed at a meeting of "The Teachers' Institute" and hope you will give them an insertion in your paper, and make them a basis of operations in the dis? cussion of this subjeot. AN OLD TEACHER. ' The following are the reaolutions: Resolved, That a committee of four, consisting of Revs. Havener, Buist, Dowling, MoMillan and Mr. Colding, to draft suitable resolutions to increase the pay of teaohers, of all grades, and pre? sent the same to the Hon. J. K. Jillson, State Superintendent of Eduoation. Resolved, That we aak the Sobool Com? missioner to endorso and forward the mine. Carried. The committee reported back the fol? lowing resolutions, whioh wero unani? mously adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of this institute that the present salaries oi teachers in this County are inadequate to their support and the. services per? formed, and. that we do earnestly petition Hon. J. K. Jillson, Superintendent of Eduoation, for an increase of pay, to wit: First grade, $75; second grade, 815; third grade, 335 per month. In support of which we beg to state that in all the Southern States the compen* sation for teachers' wages is not less than 3100 per mouth for first grade teaohers, $75 for the second and 850 for the third. Resolved, further, That we respectfully petition that the Hon. J. E. Jillson, Superintendent of Eduoation, will issue an order requiring the Sohool Commis? sioner of Barnwell County to allow the teaohers of all grades full compensation for services, without regard to any par? ticular average number of scholars. Kind Words for the South.?From an editorial in the New York Herald, we extract the following: "Still, there is another and a more oheeriog side to the picture. The cotton crop of 1872 has proved larger than was expected. The total recoipte at all the ports since the crop began to come in last September, amount to 3,011,056 bales, an increase over last year of 583, 000 bales. What amount remains yet to come to market, we are not informed. Supposing the total should be 3,500,000 bales, the value would be at least $250, 000,000. The export has reached 1,850, 029 bales, and it is fair to presume it will reach over 2,000,000 bales. That would make tho value of this article of export alono nearly $150,000,000. Of course, some of these figures are only approx? imate, but are near enough to show ge? nerally the amount, value and movement of the crop, of 1872. We can afford, then, to import largely with suoh export resources. And here it may be well to call attention to this great and valuable production of the South, under the pe? culiar and depressing oiroumBtanoos in whioh that sootion of our oountry has been involved. It shows that the South has risen from the most terrible war de? struction that ever fell npon a people, as if by magic Though utterly ruined for the time, impoverished almost beyond precedent, with no money or credit, a capital of $2,000,000,000 to $3,000,000, 000 swept away in two or three years, tho whole system of labor revolutionised and disorganized, oppressed by political and sooiai disabilities resulting from the war, and then fearfully plundered by a horde of oarpet-bag strangers who had no abiding interest in the South, the South? erners have accomplished what would have seemod incredible, and what hardly any other people could have accom? plished. And it is fair to say that much of this is due to the good oonduot and labor of the emancipated negroes as well as to tho industry, toot and forbearance of tho native whites. The basis of this wonderful resuscitation, however, is in the rioh soil and genial climate of the Southern States. So with regard to to? bacco and othor products of tho South, whioh contribute largely both in helping to pay for our imports and to promote internal trade.

It appears that tho mother of the ohild went to the spring, a short distance from the house, for water; while there she heard tbe screams of the ohild, and, turning, saw her enveloped in flames. She ran to her and ondoavored to smo thor the flames; in doing so, her clothes nlso took fire, and she was in imminent danger of losing her life. A oolored man, who happened to be passing at the time, ran to their assistance and suc? ceeded in extinguishing the flames.

Advice* from Greenville are to the effect that: County Treasurer James M.Allen ? I has been arrested and placed in jail,, on aohargoof being a defaulter to the ex? tent of $00,000. Under the Statute, this is not a bailable offence. It appears that State Treasurer Oardozo having drawn upon County Treasurer Allen for $30,000, and the draft not being ho? nored, he sent up one of his clerks, to effect an arrangement and secure a set? tlement, with a warrant of arrest, in case payment was set made. Treasurer Allen having refused to settle, according to tho orders of State Treasurer Cardoso, he was immediately arrested and lodged in jail The friends of the alleged de? faulting Treasurer assert that he has un? paid claims to a large amount against the State, and refuses to pay over the funds in his hands until he is made se? cure in the payment of his claims.
