COLUMBIA. S. C. -7^?i- . ', * '??)'.--: ? ? Friday aornlhgt April 26.1873. Louisiana. Tha dogs of war are to be let Ioobo on j the State of Louisiana. The Adminis? tration partisans are vigorously making up the oaee. Kellogg & Oo. are "offi? cially" (?) certifying the insubordination of the people of the State, and most shamefully falsifying the faota. Grant will aocept these representations as i authontio, and ordor the army of the United States to make the conquest com? plete. Notwithstanding the announce? ment by Grant that he will employ the samo means in any other State, under similar oiroumstanoes, there is, to all appsarauoes, the most perfect unoonoern for the fate of thjs dismantled State, throughout the borders of the Uaiottv Men have bocoma, t$o.familiarized with usurpation aud oppression at the South, that the ooourroccj of a fresh caae creates nob even, in ripple on the surface of pnblio sentiment. If the voioa of the people be ailenoed in one State, sind no protest comes from other States, they will not only deserve, but will Barely sharo, a like fate; This Louisiana affair is intended as a begioning. Grant, with bin advisors, are working to a point)* and aso or din g loa pi an?w ?ll-d ?fl ne d an TT perfectly nn'dorstoolL Their purposo fa to overturn oar syntem of government; to destroy the identity of the States; to consolidate all authority in tho nation, and make themselves masters of the whole; to transform the States from separate, sovereign, independent go? vernments, in ' matters affeoting their local affairs, into mere dependencies or satrapies, governed by the central power; to substitute the will of the National Ad? ministration enforced by bayonets, for the will of the people of the several States in all matters pertaining to local as well as general interests. The plan by which they propose to reaoh the end, is that of gradual approaches. Instead of proclaiming the empire at once, tho States are to be subjugated in detail. When Louisiana shall have been effectu? ally conquered, Arkansas will be attend? ed to; and then another and another, till the work is complete. This, to our mind, ia as clear as any event of the fu? ture. The signs of the times all indicate it with the precision of propheoy. The comments of the Radical press upon the trouble between the whites and negroes of Grant Parish, Louisiana, for some time to come, will not be their least interesting feature. The demand for the extermination of the whites of Grant Parish will be couched in phrase somewhat enigmatical for a while, after the following style of the Oinoinnati Gazette: 4*It wbb only a few days ago that the entire nation was appalled by the an? nouncement that the Modooa bad assas? sinated a few Government officials. A large number of papers olamored at onoe for an abandonment of the peace polioy and for the extermination of the red skins. Yet only a few savages were con? cerned in the murder, and they had been infuriated by tbe duplicity and encroach? ments of the unscrupulous white settlers of tho border. Their grievances were audeniable, however barbarous and un? pardonable their retaliation may have boon. "There was nothing of this kind in Grant Parish. Tbe whites may not have liked their black office-holders, bat thero has been no real ground for provocation. The jealousy of race and hatred of their former servants oan alone explain the outbreak. From Buch wretched motives nearly 100 poor mou were hurried to a violent death. Oonoiliation may properly be shown to penitent offenders, but each wretches as the murderers of Grant Parish will listen to no argument or in? fluence but force. The blood of their victims ories for vengeance, and its cry should not be unheeded. We hope that speedy, stern and fearful punishment may oonvinoe tbe guilty men and their sympathizers that the day wheu men oan bo slaughtered merely because they are dark skinned, has passed away for? ever. The Government orders have the right ring, and we trust they will be fearlessly and thoroughly enforced." There is no disguising the blood thirstiness of the Gazette. Its sympa? thies, as usual, are entirely with tho! negroes. The whites are, ia its estima? tion, worse than tho savage Modoos, and it ndvooates a speedy, stern and fearful punishment. Grant, Pinchbaok and Company, having forced upon the peo? ple of Louisiana tho most infamous despotism ever enaoted in any country, aod negroes having assumed the right to forco its outrageous edicts upon white people in defiance of ail law, human or divine?having armed themselves and committed outrages upon the whites? the Gazette would have the whites submit to every conooivable indignity, and would kill and quarter them if they dared to resist. -????-? Tho Louisville Commercial, of the 10th, says: "Yesterday afternoon, be? tween 1 and 5 o'clock, Mr. Kearsley Carter, Secretary of tho Western Union Telegraph Company, attempted suicide by shooting himself." South Carolina, . OotjUUTiia, April 4.?Tho old biBtorio and really important oity of Charleston, with its ?U.i -00 inhabitants and $30,000, 000 of taxable values, ia not to be lightly surrendered, however threatened. | It ft th) same with the various other towns of less oonsequenoe, but still of importance, throughout the State. Then the extra? ordinary magnitude of its agricultural and other resources, always great, and capable of still further development, is a living and standing protest against a'pa sillanimous yielding to adverse circum? stances. It would be a violent preanmp tion against the manliness, the courage, and the energy of South Carolina white men, to allow the fjtate to remain in the permanent keeping ?f her present rulers. It would be a testimony against the claims of Anglo-Saxon blood, and it would be an emphatic testimony to the decline of publio virtno, that would be worse than all. These' considerations alone would bo snffioient to inspire every man in South Carolina with a resolution to aohieve a reform that will bring the State back to its anoient respectability. The feeling ,that most oppresses the whites arises from the great apparent majority of colored voters as shown in the eleotions. This majority is reckoned to be about 30,000. But a comparison of the population of 1860 with that of 1870 shows a very striking relative in? crease of the whites?an increase which, if maintained, would of itself alone, with? out the addition of special influence in this direction, soon destroy this dispro? portion between the raoea. The' population of the State in 18G0 was, in round numbers, as follows: Blacks. ?3.000; whites, 291,000? show? ing an excess of 122,000 blaoks. In 1870, the figures of the oensns were: Blacks, 415,000; whites, 313,000?or an excess of only 102,000. This gain of the whites was achieved in the f too of the fact of the war of the rebellion, in which, daring the decade. South Caro? lina lost 12,000 fighting men of tho white raoe, beside the loss of the in? crease whioh was entailed thereby; while the blaoks were all kept out of military service, and subject to no unusual drain on their numbers. Beside this, it em? braces the period when great discontent seized upon the whites and caused many to leave the State to try and better their fortunes. Since 1870, many have re? turned, professing they can find no country like South Carolina, and no cli? mate so charming aud so beautiful. So that it would appear there are good grounds for believing that the gain of the whites npon the blacks daring the period between the years 1860 and 1870 will not only be maintained bnt increased between 1870 and 1880. This rate of gain alone is sufficient to nearly destroy the entire disproportion between the races 'in the oocrso of a generation. On the basis of the general law of popu? lation, the expectation is the moat en oou-aging. But the period would be greatly shortened by powerfol and con? centrated effort to the same end. The fact of the State being so com? pletely in possession of the blacks, it is supposed, will and does attract the co? lored people of other States. Bat the blaok population is everywhere poor and immobile, and though there is a move? ment towards the towns, it does not ap? pear in tho agricultural districts. In these thero are blaoks enoogh. The class thero wanted is or emigrants who have a little money, and who buy laud and farm on their own acooant. And such do como, and will be more and more euoouraged to oome. It is their thrift and their energy and their money that is going to play an important part in overcoming the predomiuanoo of the black population. Where the white man can live and prosper, and enjoy good health, as he can all over the upper ooontry or bluff lands of South Carolina, ho is bound to supplant the weaker and poorer race. So that the restoration of the predominance of the white popula? tion ia South Carolina seomsto be only a question of time, whioh onu be much ab? breviated by suitable effort. [Cor. New York Tribune. A TdARvuii op SuiuiERr.?The Balti? more Sun, ia reporting the proceedings of tho Medical and Chirnrgical Society, describes the subjoined oasc: Tho patient, who was exhibited to tho society, had hud both the lids of tho left eye diseased for twenty-sevon years, with what had been oalled oanoor by many surgeons. To remove the entire disease, both lids, as well as the skin from the side of tbo noso, had to be removed, leaving the left eyo (his only good one) exposed iu a frightful gup. To protect the eyo, and at tbo samo time to romovo the hideous conformity, Prof. Chisolm undertook tho delioate surgicul operation ot manufacturing two lids?the upper lid from the skin of tho forehead, and tho lower lid from the skin of tbo cheek. So very suecessfuly had this beeu accom? plished, that it required very close ob? servation to detect the difference between the loft side of the face, with tho manu? factured lids, and the right side, with tbo lids that nature had made. The case had been a very satisfactory one, to both surgeon and patient. The public should bo informed that all the New Orleans despatches to tbo New York Times are untrustworthy. They are sent by one R. H. Shannon, the United States Commissioner, asoamp hand and glovo with the drunken Darell and all tho scalawags, carpet-baggers and thieves who aro pillaging Louisiana.

Tha> Criminal Court of Baltimore protected a scene of deep and solemuMnterest Tues? day morning last. ? It was generally known that the. grand jury b*d "Bummon ed the editors of the American before them, to'testify of the basa slander} whioh they uttered concerning the pupils of the EtiBtern Female High School, and the result of the investigation was' am?. iously expected. The Hon. Judge Gjil mor to ok his seat at the uaaal houvflnd upon the aalling of the grand jury^ James Hodges, Esq., foreman, then handed to Judge Gilmor a report, of which tbe fol? lowing is the subetanoe: A series of newspaper article*, involv* I ing both the .chastity of, tho popils of the Eastern Female High School, and the faithfulness and efficiency of the mem? bers of tho grand jury, have excited such a demand from tho publio voioe for oor I reot information upon theso important I quostions, that the graud jury has deter? mined to raise the veil uf secrecy whioh usually screens its investigations from the outside world, and communicate what information it possesses to your honor, and through you to the publio, in suoh a form as you may think proper to adopt. lu'tho Baltimore Americm, of March 18th, an editorial appeared, enti? tled "Something of General Interest," in which it was alleged "that in the most numerously attended famale sohools iu the Eastern section of the city, pupils reoeive, from noted procuresses, many invitations, whioh, if complied witb, as they sometimes are, prove the first steps towards degradation and infamy;" and, again, "that it is not so bidden a subject but that every member of the grand jury knows it. Let them take it into con? sideration; they know where to find wit? nesses." Mr. Fulton, its author, iu an I swer to the most searching inquiries, floufefsed that his aoensations wero based euterely. on the faith of publio rumor. He admitted his inability to prefer a I single charge against the chastity of even one young lady attending the female schools'in tbe Eastern section of tho city, I or to indicate one name to whioh any suspicion of dishonor attaohes. Failing I entirely in his accusations, and with a full confession of his inability to sustain I them, he tendered the grand jury an ao* Iceptable apology for the injustice of the attack, aud, furthermore, promised to mako an editorial retraction of the charge. With this, ho promptly com? plied in the issne of the American of the 25th of March. Tbe grand jury indulged the hope that this woold bo the last of their connection with that most unfor? tunate and damaging publication. In this, wo regret to nay, it was mistaken, i In the American of April 3d, iu an artiole entitled "The Scandal of the Day," it is alleged "that we abate not one jot or tittle of the allegations whioh appear in these oolnmns. We believe them to be true, aud having seen no reason to change our views, we re-affirm them now." The i grand jury again summoned the editors of that paper to testify before it, suppos? ing that they had in the meantime col? lected the necessary facts to snstain their i accusations. For the sake of the honor and virtue of the pupils attending the , Eastern Female High School, against whioh the charge is narrowed down, I I am glad to say that the eecond. exami? nation before the grand jury resulted like the first, in a complete vindication of the female purity of the school. Tbe reading of the report was listened to with profound and absorbing interest. A pin's weight touohiug the floor might have been heard. A wilful and out? rageous effort had been made to blacken the fame of a portion of our purest.and fairest, and painfully intense was the anxiety to hear tbe result. The silence was at length broken by Judge Gilmor, who, evidently impressed with the gra? vity and moment of the occasion, in clear and load voice, said: "Your report must certaiuiy have the effect of completely relieving the public mind of an impression of a very painful oharaoter, excited principally, and I may Bay exclusively, by the newspaper arti? cles which have appeared iu the quarter referred to, and which have naturally attracted and compelled your notice. And tho care you have expended in get? ting at the truth of this matter, and by that means allaying the anxiety of our citizens, has not been in vuio, if for no other reason. Aspersions upon the fidel: y of teachers, and the morals of scholars in,tbe schools throughout the city, in bo vital a point as female purity, could only be justified upon tho clearest grounds of evidence. And yot you find, after prompt aud searching inquiries of the originators of tho charge, that they are without tho slightest ability to sub? stantiate it, and cannot furnish the grand jury with the uamo of a single wit? ness." A manifest sense of relief at oooe re? vealed itself upon every countenance Where before was depioted sadness and suspenso, a smile succeeded?a smile of satisfaction that tho grand jury and ooort had done its whole duty. It had re? futed most amply and satisfactorily the basest and blackest of slanders, and triumphantly vindioated tho reputation of Baltimore's fair daughters. [Balihnorean.

After visiting Chicago and Quincy, Illinois, thoy went to New York and Boston. At Boston, George was convicted of forgery and sent to OharleBtown Penitontiary for five years. Austin was also arrested in New York and sent to Sing Sing for two years. This was in 1860. George waB pardoned by the Governor of Massachu? setts soou after his inoarcerution.

Genuuai, Lyons' Opehations in the Lava Beds.?He said the lava beds of Oregon had before been tho scone of hos? tilities with the Indians, and that Gene? ral Lyons, before the rebellion, while in command of a small detachment, had much trouble in fighting the ludians in that locality. Their ambushes wero so effective, and their mauncr of warfure eo advantageous to thorn, that at first little progress was made. The lava beds are on the border of a small lake, iu whioh are many islands. Tho Indians would make such resistance as was.possible, and when pressed closely, they would take to their boats and paddle to the islands, where they could not bo followed. Ge? neral Lyons, however, determined on u plan whereby he could reach the islands. After much oare and trouble, ho succeed? ed iu building several rude boats and transporting them across the lava beds, a task not easy of performance, and tbVy were duly launched in the lake aud filled with'tho troops. With these boats, the islands were easily reached, and the In? dians were attacked from all sides, and finally exterminated.

That he (General Pendleton) had made a re conuoiBeanoo iu person, and declared to General Lee the perfeot practicability of immediate assault upon tbo then unpre? pared enemy; how he had waited impa? tiently until 12 o'clock; how Longstreet at that hoar rode up to his side, and sat upon his horse useless aud inactive until i o'clock P.
