COLUMBIA-. S. C. Wodnealay gof mng, April 16,1873. Speoks of Wab.?The aotivity in the Navy Department continues, and aeenie really to indicate business. Hinte are given pot from Washington that General Grant is not comfortable, arid does not relish the position in'whioh hie Adminis? tration stands before the country. The Iiooisville Courier-Journal thinks he is anxious that his sine, both of omission and commission, shall be forgotten, and eeeks to dazzle tho pnblio mind with the blaze of some, dashing exploit. Last winter General Oaborne, Oolonel Robb and Major Savage and others were en? gaged to get tip a list of grievances against Mexican marauders, and still more recently the. Secretary ?f . War, General Myers and tho LieutonanhGepe ral of the army have bee^ioe\p?ting tne Mexican boif^eHf^v^rofipB ?^vo al$o bics Bome tinxe^moving in that direction, and it la errpposed that a lively row with put -'Bieter republic will soon be provoked. At least we know not how to account for the unwonted activity about the naval stations below, New Orleans and on the; PaeiSo< coast; unless this is the explans^ tlon. Ta?t? la ocrtajoly some reason; for <an?oip*ting a small war: and a good many largo contrtcta. , A di&onUy with Mexico would be a gwd. thing- fot, the President and h<s friends, and there is nothingin hie history which forbids the suspicion that he. will- not allow hie religions or any other kind of scruples to stand between him and a good thing. Wo *iU not. be surprised, therefore, if he lets slip a few. of bis military dogs upon a people who are ipcapabio of serious voaistanoo, and who are eo easily, devoured. ???-h'saV <'- j Radio Aii Demqohaui-.-There is a movement among, the Germans at the North to form a new party, to be oa?ed the Badmal Democracy, The policy of this new movement seems to he to make suoh obanges in the form of government as tho abolition of the Presidency and the Senate, and the oonoentration of all legislative and executive power in a Congress, composed of a single chamber, an executive committee of which will replaoe the President. This' proj eot may please a few German transcendental poli? ticians; jj, will hardly suit any considera? ble number of voters of the country,. Germans, Irish, Scandinavian or native. This is the etyle of republics usually gotten up in Europe at a day's notice, and whioh go out of existouoo in about the same length of time. "Shall the Republican party live?" is a oonnndrum propounded by the New York Evening Post, heretofore a Repub? lican paper. The New York World an ewers, exqltingly, that the Republican party mast and ought to die, in order to make room., for the permanent ascend anoy Of the Democratic party. The an? swer is eminently calculated to postpone indefinitely both eventaV i Tbe question that concerns tho h?hest masses of the country is, shall the republic live and prosper? It certainly will not, if tbe supreme consideration in the politics of the oountry shall be hereafter to gain or retain 'control of' the Government, for the sake of prolonging tho life and grati? fying the pride and the lust of one or another party, syjftfl ' ? !

Bf view. Mr. Editor: I have read with some care the first number of the VKartestan Medical Journal and Review, edited and published- by Professors F. Peyre Porv ober and B. A. Kioioch. It is introduced by a weljrwriiten j salutatory, addressed tg the medical profession. This Review is in troth the re-establishment of the Charleston Medical Journal, which, in its day, took position with the very best in the United States. Nor are the auspices under whioh. it is. now introduced less favorable than formerly;' for its editors are men oi learning and ability, and well known as among tho first of the profession' in'the South, and the list of collaborators embraces many of the best names in North Carolina, South Caroli? na, Georgia, Alabama.' Florida and Lou? isiana. While we mourn the deatb^of many of the con tribute**-^ ^the old journal, all of whom are'known to jib by fame, and nofca few personally, I rejoice to believe' that their successors are l-jfoxttry of them, and will largely enhanoe I the^ honor of the profession. Can it be that this journal will fail for want of pe oaniary supportr 1 am not prepared to believe it. I am not influenced by a blincT, sectional partiality, when I say, that, the prof ?salon of the South will compare favorably with. the profession else where; that it is largely improved in the'met forty years, and that it is now nfirvaded by a higher and more honora? ble ambitionjthan existed at any former period. I know there are ignorant man faithe-ranks? baft they are to be found eyetJWhlBrW1', ,' ft; . . The writer of this notice entered upon tho ? prao?oe.' of medioine upwards of forty year* ago, in-one of the largest and moat poptrlqoB : Disfriota of'.the' State, and of. xhhfty Ojf} forty, petitioners, he wa?>ae onlj one who' had the degree of Baeixelor of Art*] and there Were'but two others Who* had the degree of Dbotor of Ifediblue-?a few being licentiates of the. Medical Board recently established, and. the others, in the absence of all law on I the subject, hating entered npon the practice without any special prepare {tion. Whatever may be the short-oom ings, th? present is certainly a much improved condition upon that. A large proportion of' our physicians are now ednoated men, baring had a preliminary training in our beat academies and litera? ry institutions before they entered npon the study of-medioine. The South Carolina Medical Associa? tion has recently held its annual session, and 1 trust has been qaiokened into a new and higher life. I have,, as a "looker-oo," attended some of its sit? tings, ana have beeninnah impressed by the importance of its proceedings. On these occasions, it has been my fortune to listen to the reading of papers and disousasions ' whioh would have done credit to the mostrenown ad associations. There are a few County auxiliary socie? ties, but it is hoped that soon no County will be without one. Then, indeed, will the State Association be placed npon a firm basis, the stability' of the Journal secured, and the medical profession in South Carolina advanced to a degree un? exampled in its previous history. m.

"?Mr. John Owen, a worthy and energetic young oiMseo of this Ooonty, has, within the last two or three years, been the viotim of an extraordinary serict of heavy and painful misfortunes, either one of which, singly, would have discouraged, if not crushed, the spirit of men of weaker nerve end less' firmness and fortitude of. oharaoter. He was burnt out a year or two ago. the fire de* stroying the old Bloom hi 11 residence, formerly owned by the late Judge Kioh ardson, whioh Air. Owen had, at the time, bot recently purchased. Hib next misfortune consisted in tho loss of the balk of his work stock, in the midst of the cropping season; not onoe, but twice, that is both in the summer of 1871 and 1812;. then he lost his lovely and beloved young wife, whom he had but a few months before led to the altar; and now, again, the aad news reaches as, that he has been completely burnt out a second time?the fiery element on this occasion destroying the Bloomhill summer house, (lately owned'by F. DeLeslin .Richard son,) together with all its furniture, out? buildings, &c, valued at. 88,000. No portion of thlB property was covered by insurance. This conflagration occur rod on Wednesday, the 9th instant, and was caused by sparks communicated from burning woods in' the neighborhood by. the heavy wind that prevailed on that day.?Sumter News. An Italian shoemaker, Vinoonzo Gaa trionoro by name, has been brutally murdered in Biohmond, Ya. He had agreed to half-solo a pair of shoes for Gniseppe Simione, another - Italian, for seventy-five cents, bnt after they were done Simione refused to pay more than twenty-five cents. Castrionoro became angry, seised his knife, stooped down, and was in the act of cutting the soles off the shoes, when Simione struck him twice on the back of the head with a piece of fire-wood, inflicting fatal in? juries. ? ? . m ? ? Fires in thu Woods.?There have been extensive and destructive fires in the woods, in various pSrts of the County, during the past week or ten days. Wo have heard of the burning of an immense amount of fenoing, whioh was always a serious affair with farmers, entailing heavy expense and serious in* convenience opon them, but now it al? most amounts to a calamity to them, for the loss is well-nigh irreparable. [Sumter News. A man by the name of Gaffoey, in dioted under the Kn Klux Act, made his escape from the County jail by leaping, in daylight, from the top of tho jail to the ground, a distanoe of some thirty foet. A feat that would have done oredit to Dick Tarpin or Sam Patch. [Carolina Spartan. Thh Mukdbe oj Oasbx?Tk? Punish hxnt Obdbbbd.?Commenting on the morder of General Canby, the Wil ming ton Journal aaye: 1(A more cold-blooded, premeditated apt of assassination than the kiUifag of General Canby, by the Modoo ?ThieL; was never committed. Throughout the whole North a ory of rage and horror has gone np, and with one consent the Government is urged, to take the speediest possible measnrez/for ven? geance and retaliation. It eaunot, how over, be expected that the people of the South, especially those of' Virginia-and the Carolines, shaUrindnfge in eulogiiiuan upon General Caoby,r Time was when our people wore feiudly disposed toward him; nof, howover, it wonld be effects tiom if" not hypocrisy, to pretend that we oro overcome by any feeling of great personal sorrow at his death. "It is an exceedingly ungrateful task to speak of anyone, who has juat passed from time to eternity, save in terms of charity and kindness, and we shall therefore make no comment upon the manner in whioh General Canby bore (himself when in dominion over us. But, whilo we oannot join our Northern brethren in proms of praise to their dead hero, we can join them, and do join them, in the strongest abhorrence of the dastardly act by whioh he lost his life. I We have never bad any admiration, and I but little sympathy, for the Indian race? I a race with whom stealth was valor, and I with whom to lie, to steal, to oheat and I to assassinate, was honor. Canning, [trickery and treachery are, indeed, so I inseparably a part and parcel of Indian j nature, that it seems strange that any I one, who had the knowledge of the In [dian oharaoter that General Oanby's [frontier experience must have taught Dim, should have trusted himself, un? armed, in the. hands of the Modoo Chief. I Especially.does it seem strange, in view of the events of the past, that an officer wearing the United States nniform, and one who had .first seen aotive service in Florida, fighting Indians, should put himself in the bands of an Indian Chief, with no protection save that of a flag of trace. "Tbe murder-of General Canby does not afford the first instance, in the his I tory of warfare between Federal troops and Indians,, in whioh the sanctity of a flag of truoe was violated. "The publio will remember, if General Canby did not remember, the fate of Osoeola, the Seminole Chief. It will be remembered, that after having defeated the United States troops in Beveral en? gagements during the second Seminole war, Osoeola, while holding a conference under a flag of truoe with General Jessup, on tbe 23d of October, 1837, near St. Augastlne, in Florida, was treacherously seized, carried to Fort Moultrie, in South OaroUna, and there kept in confinement until his death, in 1838. Nor has the conduct of the white man at other times toward tbe red man been such as to teach him that plighted faith was ? thing to be held inviolable. President Grant himself, if we mistake not, bears testi? mony to the bad faith borne by the whites to the Indians. "Knowing all these things, as General Canby must have known them, it does, indeed, seem strange that he should have gone, .noarmed, into the armed presence i of a man whom neither honor nor oon smecoo nor law could bind. But so it was. Like Osoeola, be trusted to the sanolity of a flag of truoe, and like him, be found it availed nothing against trfiaohery. '-'Doubtless a terrible retribution, will be wreaked upon the Modoo Chief and his followers. Innocent, if any such of the tribe there Bo, and guilty, old and young, male and female, will doubtless all be slaughtered* The army, both of? ficers and men, will demand vengeance. The people will .demand vengeanoe. These demands will soaroe be made in I vain to the man who now writes himself I Genoral of the " armies of the United j States of America. William Teoamseb Sherman is no obscure, unknown man. The people of the South, at least, know him, and know him well. If ever there lived a man utterly devoid of the feel? ings of humanity, utterly destitute of bowels of compassion, that man is Gen. Shot man. If suoh a thing be po?sible, he is a fiend incarnate, and not a human being. There is no mercy to be expect? ed from bim. We may* look, then, ere long, for a bntchery and a massacre that will bring disgrace npon the. Federal army and npon the American people. A terrible punishment is doe ana ought to be inflicted. We trust, however, it will not be an indiscriminate massacre. "Just as we finished writing the above words, the telegrams came to hand with the order from General Sherman to General Gillem, published on yesterday, directing the utter extermination of the whole Modoo band. There is no longer any doubt as to the oharaoter of the ven? geance ci vi Used men propose to wreak upon' barbarians. We very muoh fear that humanity will shudder when the whole troth shall be known. We feel very eure, however, that General Sher? man will not shudder. But for all that, if, by the order of the Commanding General, approved by the President of the United States^there shall be an in? discriminate slaughter of men, women and obildren, guilty and innocent alike, of the Modoo band, the orime of the savage will pale before that of the Christ? ian." Tho Savannah Advertiser says: "Captain Jack has committed an of? fence cruel, and, to our minds, cowardly. Shall he and his people all be put to death for this? The man he killed was a soldier?a good one, we are free to ad? mit. He was possessed of certain manly attributes of oharaoter whioh command? ed bim to the admiration of those who knew bim best. But his record, too, was befooled with aots of cruelty, injus? tice and oppression to people of his own race, his kith and kin. '.'Even how it is said that Oaoby's j men, while peace negotiations were in progress, bad been stealing the 'horses of the Modoos. Is the Government free of blame in itoaondaot towar.da the In? dianer It has taken their homes and laud*, ?.cd pushed them rapidly back be fororthe march of civilization. It. has Allowed them to be oheated, swindled and demoralized by .irosoa|Iy Indian agents, and when, under the instinct of a rude justice, tbey have retaliated, they have been scourged with fire and sword. No oouaoil is held between the Indians and whites in which the former do not complain of broken promises and bad f?tth upon the part of the Government. "They have more than this to com? plain of. It ie still fresh in. the history of a country, how Sheridan and his ca? valry butchered and burned a camp of Indian squaws and children, already suf? fering from the ravages of the small-pox. Is it natural that an Indian sbodld give his confidence to a people who could commit snob, acts? That he, a weak and defenceless wanderer, would keep faith with a powerful opponent who has kept faith with nobody? "The Governmentof tho United States has justly suffered much odium from ite Indian polioy. It cannot outlive the damning record of its treachery and per? secution of the South. It would be well for it to halt before it lends its power to exterminate a whole people for the crime of a few, at the command of a man who had all the malignity necessary to war! upon defenceless women and children, who dared to burn and devastate a fair land, and who has sought to cover his in? famy under the contemptible subterfuge of falsehood." n ; Tub Atlantic- and Great Wkstbbn Oanal.?The question of whether the Atlaqtie and Great Western Canal shall be built, and how mnoh it will benefit the couutry, is being very generally agitated. Governor Smith, of Georgia, has moved in the matter, and, by a con? vention of tbe Governors of thoso'States more directly to be affected if thu pro? ject is successful, he proposes to get at the popular idea concerning it. With this view, be addressed a letter to tbe several Executives, of whioh tho follow? ing, received by Governor Moses, is a copy: State of Georgia, Executive: Department. Atlanta, Ga , April 2, 1878. His Excellency Franklin J. Moses, Jr., Governor of South Carolina. Sib: I bad tbe honor in November last of calling the attention of the Governors of many of the States to the importance of the Atlantic and Great Western Canal. By this work, it is proposed to oonneot the Tennessee River, and, through that river, the entire system of inland navi? gation of the West, with the Atlantio Ocean at Savannah and Brunswick, Georgia. I then invited the Governors of many of the Western States to meet at Atlanta, for the purpose of consider? ing and disoussing tbe steps to be taken for the accomplishment of this grand enterprise. Owing to unforeseen cir? cumstances, however, that meeting was unavoidably postponed. Since tben, the interest felt in Googrese and among the people generally in increasing the means of cheap and easy communication by water between the great producing and consuming sections of tbe oountry hoe deepened and widened. Iu my judgment, the time has come for a meet? ing, such as the one mentioned, in order that the advantages of the proposed en? terprise may be more thoroughly dis? cussed and understood, and some defi? nite plan of aotion for its accomplishment matured. My objeot in addressing you this com? munication is to earnestly and cordially invite yon to unite in a convention of the Go vor nor a of the Southern, Western and North western States, to be held for the purpose mentioned at Atlanta, Go., on the 20th day of May next. As the proposed oanal will ran in most of its length through this State, it would seem proper for me, as the Executive thereof, to take tbe initiative in this matter. The advantages to result from the enterprise under consideration are so obvious, that a mere reference to them here is doomed all that is necessary. It is,'in fact, the only line of water com? munication between the Atlantio sea? board aud the West, whioh oau be con? structed at reasonable ooet, and whioh Would be unobstructed at all seasoos of the year. The best means of securing oheap transportation, to meet the rapidly developing resources of the country, is a question which should engage the thoughtful attention of statesmen. It is, moreover, my earnest desire that citi? zens of other i States occupying offloial positions should visit our State, examine for themselves the facilities that oan be afforded for this great .avenue of trade, and, at the same time, enjoy the hospi? talities of our people. Snoh a visit would, ia my opinion, conduce, in no small degree, to a oomplete. restoration of harmony end good feeling between all sections of onr common country, If it should not suit yoor convenience to be present in person at tbe convention mentioned, may I ask that yoar Exoel lenoy will do us the honor to send such a delegation thereto as will represent' your own. wishes and tbe interest of y#ur State?

The jury* as wo are informed, consisted of six well known white Democrats and six colored men. They were out but five minutes. The Judge informed the jury before they retired that if there were any mitigating oiroumetancee in the case, they could recommend the prisoner to mercy, and it would be considered In the sentence. Tbey declined to make any recommenda? tion. The trial and sentence gives gene? ral satisfaction in York, we believe. There were other charges against the prisoner, but they were not pressed. This conviction is a satisfactory refuta? tion of the charge that criminals will;not get their just deserts, when coloredison are the victims. HoTBii Arrivals, April 16, 1878.?
