Columbia; s. o. Friday Morning, August 29,1873. The Heroen or Peace. ^ Hamau nature presents its Bablimest exhibitiono of genias and character in momenta of extreme need and peril. The ordinary conditions of life supply neither the occasion nor the stimulus for masterly contrivance or heroic dis? play. A certain degree of skill and at? tention to business, or devotion to fa? mily and friend*, ia expected of every man who olaims a respectable place in the indo81rial pursuits and social rela? tions of the World. In the ordinary on? going of affairs, indeed, tbe greatest men are often: scarcely distinguishable from, their neighbors.. Who, for in? stance, suipeoted in the quiet, unpre? tentious professor 'at*Lexington; the latent power of head anil bear* that have immortalized;' the~:xiame of Stonewall Jaokson? It is in full view of imminent ^ disaster or in the supreme hoar of bat? tle, that heroism comes to the front, and the inspirations of genias leap forth liko fire from the stricken flint. One of the most important and useful traits of charade? is presence of''mind, and it is in the display of this that great natures reveal themselves in great emergencies. The.other night a frightful collision occurred on the Chicago and Alton Railroad. It was late: nearly all the passengers had retired, or were retiring. The great train, with a precious freight? age of life, was moving swiftly through the darkness, when suddenly there fell upon tho ears of the drowsy passengers an awful, crashing sound, and the next moment they were hurled violently from the track. The coaches were piled upon each other in undistingaishable rain and contusion, and a bursted boiler filled a oar foil of human beings with scalding steam. Imagination can scarce? ly pioture a more terrible sceno. No wonder that the suddenly awakened, braised, mutilated and soalded passen? gers were thrown into utter confusion * and panic, and that the first impulse, even of .those unhurt, was to tarn away from the awful spectacle, and to olose their ears to the agonizing cries of the wounded and the dying. Two only of all that company were posseesed of sufficient presence of mind, nerve and * forgot fulness of Belt to undertake im? mediately the work of resoae and relief. These two were Hawley, of Normal, and Magee, a Texan. It is not likely that their nameB will be entered on the list of historical heroes, bat we beg to ten? der hero, at least, a passing tribute of honor to men who have illustrated in peace the virtues which confer distinction in war. The New York Times, in its editorial comments upon the speech of Mr. Jef? ferson Davis, at tne late organization at Montgomery Springs, Virginia, of a Southern Historical Society, did not attempt to hold the Southern people re? sponsible for his utterances. Oa the contrary, it had the intelligence and the fairness to see that the object of the so? ciety was laudable, and that when Mr. Davis soared into the "highsentimentaj latitudes." he did not carry as many with him as will accompany Mr. John Wise in his balloon excursion to Eu? rope. We are, therefore, the more sur? prised to 8eo the Times giving a conspi? cuous place to a two column communica? tion from Oharlottesville, Virginia, undertaking to show that the designs of the ?'Southern Historical Society" are treasonable, that "history" iB a mere pretext, that "their designs are* danger? ous," not just at present, but hereafter, when the seed sown in tho youthful mind of the South shall have token root. The proof of this seems to bo that so many ex-Soutbern Generals took part on the occasion, and that, as a general thing, Southern men are em? ployed as teachers in Southern colleges and schools. .Another mare's nest is found in the allegation that General Gordon, of Georgia, has been raising contributions for the association, of wbich, it is said, he is an agent. Tbo only trnth in this statement is, that General Gordon is connected with the University Publishing Company, the object of- which is to publish school books written by Southern teachers, for tho uso of Southern schools. The cor? respondent consistently regards General Gordon's absence from the meeting of tbo Southern Historical Society as evi? dence of bis guilt, just as he looks upon tbe presenoe of others as proof of the same offenoe. At the close of tho arti? cle, tho "moral" beoomeB evident in tbe effort of the writer to link it with tbo Virginia State election, and to demon? strate that tbe national welfare demands a Republican triumph. - ? ? >? On Sunday last, no lesn than 15,000 pious Puritans of Boston listened to a blasphemous and obscene tirade from Victoria Wood bull. Movement of Cotton LVobino the Past Wkbk.?We learn from thermal? cial Chronicle, of New York, that the total cotton receipts at all ports for tho week ending on Friday, 22J, reaphed 10,511 bales, against 10,581 bales last week, 10,681 bales the previous week, and 12,355 bales three weeks since, mak? ing the total receipts since the 1st of September, 1872, 3,608,121 bales, against 2,716,696 bales for the same pe? riod of 1871-72, shoving an increase since September 1, 1872, of 891,128 bales. The exports for the week reach a total of 13,501 bales, of which 13.181 were to Great Britain, none to France, and 320 to rest of tho continent, while the stock os made up Friday evening were 116,695 bales. Compared with the corresponding w^ek of last season, there was an increase in the exports for the weeking ending Friday of 7,981 bales, while the stookB were 59,122 bales more than they were a year ago. The total visible supply ia given at 2,161,902 bales, against 2,171,536 last year, at the same period?indicating a decrease of ootton in sight on Friday of 9,631 bales, as compared with the same date of 1872. The interior stocks decrease 3,358 bales daring tho week, bat were 11,230 bales more on Friday than at tho same period last year. The receipts were 2,128 bales more than during tbe same week last year. -? ? Treatment of German Sailors.? Tbe well known maxim existing among nations having friendly relations with each other, that tbe subjects of one State are protected by tbo laws of the other while staying in its territory, has lately been violated in tbe most culpa? ble manner by one Captain Cohl, com? mander of tho North American whaler "John Howland," with reference to German sailors. Tbe case stands short? ly thus: At New York, four German Bailors joined the whaler and signed tbe articles for the voyage. Tbe ship went to sea, and in October last, tbo oaptaiu, as it is said with the intention of get? ting rid of them, set them ashore at St. lego, one of the Cape Verde islands, and left them behind there, destitute and helpless. Tjbere the Portugese Go? vernment assisted tbem, and sent tbem j on to St. Vincent. Evory German will now learn with satisfaction that the German imperial Government has taken the matter up, and bas already taken the most energetic steps to eventually make this Captain Gobi responsible for his aot. We may, on this occasion, once more remind foreign nations that the time when every foreigner could do the greatest wrong to a German with impunity is long since passed; on the contrary, tbe German people demand, end with justice, that in such cases tbe most complete satisfaction shall be given.?German News. Outrages on the Jews at Fez ?Tbe Jewish Chronicle has received tho follow? ing account of aots of torture inflicted upon Jews by Arabs at Fez. A medical man had ordered, a few weeks age, a poor Jewish patient to use a vapor bath. But, since the conveniences for such baths do not exist in the Jewish quar? ters of tbe oity, and as tbe Jews are ac? tually forbidden to construct tbe neces? sary apparatus for indulgiug in the dux ury of a vapor-bath, the invalid applied to the Mohammedan bath-keeper, who yielded to the entreaties of the poor man, and allowed him to enter, with two other Jews, by whom be was sup? ported as he walked in. But they were at ouoe betrayed. A furious mob sur? rounded the men, who were throttled by the soldiers, dragged along tbe streets, beaten with sticks, knocked with ham? mers, cut with knives and pelted with stones so that their track was iinod with blood. Wben the wounded creatures at length presented themselves before the Governor, oue of tbem bad lost an eye and the other bad bis bond brokeu open. This representative of the Sultan caused tbem at once to receive 5?0 strokes with a rod and to be thrown into o prison. They were held guilty of having dese? crated an Arab bath, fur which delin? quency it wuh expected that the Sultan would order that tbe>y should be decapi? tated. Deaths.?Miss Gena Jeffery*, tbe eldest daughter of Captain Thomas S. Jcfl'erys, died in this |place, from con? sumption, on Tuosday eveuiug last, after a protracted illness, in the twenty third year of bcr age. Mr. John A. Miller, the eldest son of tho late W. Dixon Miller, died iu this County, from consumption, ou Satur? day morning lust. Dr. James J. WiWiinis, u brother of tho late Goorge W. Williams, Esq., and many years ago a resident of Yorkville, died ut his home, in Union County, N. C., on the 11th instant. Mr. T. M. Love, aged fifty-nine yearn seven mouths aud four duys, died at his residence, iu this County, ou tho 18tb instant, from congestion of the heart. I Yorkville Enquirer. -- m * ? ? Death of Ma jo it David F. Dick eh son.?Major David F. Diekerson, uu old nnd well-known 'citizou of Ilioumoud County, died at his residence, neur McLoun, of paralysis, last Monday night, aged about eigbty years. Major jL/icaeraon was a native of tbe Stato of Massoohusotts. He came to this County about fifty yean: ago: Ha was iot many years a member of the Richmond County bar, aud ut one time practiced law with Gen. Glascock. [Augusta Chronicl-i. Thoro are now pending in tbo United 'States Court three indictments agaiutt James Maioney /or hi ilfca.Huuoo in ulll j? us a deputy collector. A Bad Bor. ?They say that the ghief | astronomer at tho Washington Observa? tory was dreadfully sold a few days ago. A wicked boy, whose Sunday school ex? perience, eeems only to hare made him more depraved, caught a fire-fly, and Btnok it, with the aid of some mucilage, in the oentre of the largest lens in toe telescope. That night, when the astro? nomer went to work, he perceived a' blaze of light apparently in the hea? vens, and what amazed him more was, that it would give a couple of spurts and then die out, only to burnt forth again in a Beoond or two. He examined it carefully for a few moments, and then began to do sums to discover where in the heavens that extraordinary star was placed. He thought he fouud tho lo? cality, and the "next morning he tele? graphed all over the universe that ho had discovered a new and remarkable star, of the third magnitude, in Orion. In a day or two, all the astronomoro in Europe and America were studying Orion, and they gazed at it for hours, until they were mad; and then they be? gan to telegraph to the man in Washing? ton to know what ho meant. The dis? coverer took another look, and found that the now star had moved about 18,000,000,000 miles in tweuty-four hours, and upon examining it closely, he was alarmed to perceive that it had legs. When he went on the dome, the next morning, to polish up his gluaa, bo found the lightning bug. People down at Alexandria, seven miles distant, heard part of the swearing, and they say ho iufu6ed into it much whole-souled sin? cerity and vigorous energy. The bills for telegraphic despatches amounted to 62,G00, and now tho astronomer wauts to find that boy. He wishes to consult with him about something. [3fux Adder. On Emphasis.?Some years ago there was a student at a thoological seminary, at Andover, who had au excellent opi? nion of his own talents. On one occa? sion he asked tho professor who taught elocution at tho time, "What do I espe? cially need to learu in this department?" "You ought to learn to read," said the professor. "Oh, I can read now," re? plied the student. The professor banded tho man a Testament and, pointing to tho twenty-fifth verse of the twenty-fourth cbnpter of Luke's Gospel, he asked him to read that. Tho student read, "Then he said unto them, O fools, and Blow of heart to believe all that the prophets havo spoken." "Ah," said the professor, "they were? fools for believing the prophetB, were they?" Of courso, that was not right, ami so the young man tried again, "? fools aud slow ol heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken." "The prophets, then, were sometimes liars?" asked the pro feBBor. "No; O fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have ?poken." "According to thia reading," the professor suggested, "the prophets were notorious liars." This was not a satisfaotory conclusion, and so another trial was made. "O fools and Blow of heart to believe all the prophets have spoken." "I see, now," said tho pro? fessor; "the prophets wrote the truth, but they spoke lies." This last criti? cism discouraged the student, and he acknowledged that he did not know ho*' to read. The difficulty lies in the fact the words "dlow of heart to be? lieve" apply to tho whole of the latter part of the sentence, and emphasis on any particular word entirely destroys the meaning. Thk "Habit" of Drunkhnmess.?Au old writer, Sir Walter Raleigh, who flourished in the sixteenth century, thus discourses in pretty strong English on the vice of intemperance; "Take especiul care that you delight not in wine, for there never was any man that came to honor or preferment that love a it, for it trausformeth a man into a beast, decayeth health, poisonoth the breath, destroyeth natural heat, bring eth a man's stomach to an artificial burning, deformeth the face, rottoth the teeth, aud to conclude, maketb a man contemptible, soon old, and despised of all wise and worthy men; hated in thy servants, thyself and thy companions, for it is a bewitching and infectious vice; and remember my words, that it were bettor for a man to be subject to any vice than to it; for ull other vanities and sins are recovered; but a drunkard will never shake oil* tho delight of bensst liuess; for tho longer it possesseth a man the more he will delight in it, and tho older he growcth Ibe uioro bo will be subject to it, lor it dulluth the spirits and destroyeth tho bod}*, as ivy doth the old tree, or the worm that en? gendered in the kernel of the nut." Laurens and Asueyille Railroad.? On Wednesday, tho 20th instant, the polls were opened throughout tho County of Greenville, for tho purpose of submitting to tho voters of the County tho proposition to Btibscribo S150.?00 of the capital stock of the Laurens and Ashevillo Railroad, whose lino would pass through Greonvillo city, exteuding through noarly tho ontiro length of the County; said subscription was voted down by a majority of 209 votes. Tuesday night, near Han Juau, Cali? fornia, eight men, supposed to be led by Libercco Vasqoez, robbed a store of ?500, using violonoo against tho proprie? tor, named Snjder. They then visited Davis' Hotel, iu tho samo place, aud wantonly murdered Davis aud two other persons. The murderers escapod. Lowcnstein, tho alleged murderer of Woston, is expootod to be extradited by tho Canadian authorities the latter part of tnis week. Additional cvidenoo against him has bewn procured in Brook? lyn. Much sickness, especially nmong obildron, is reported from Chester, aud a number of deaths within tho past few days. Tho prevailing disease appears to be diphtheria. Thb Florida. Conoit Crop.? The Fldridian, of tho 19th, says: The cater? pillar, we believe, remains about in | statu qu9. Several planters have been eaten entirely out, ond many others are apt to be. The crop, it is thought, will tarn oat maoh better than last year, though nothing like it promised a short time sinoe. Three or foar weeks ago the prospeot for a largo orop was per? haps finer than any year since tbo sur? render. A very large quantity of im? proved seed was planted, and the crop had been well cultivated and was fruit? ing finely; but, alas, for human calcula? tions?man proposed but the oaterpillar has disposod almost as fully as usual. There seems to bo no doubt that tbe "poison business" will pay, and jjeit ?-ear planters will take time by the Tore ock and tbe start of tbe worm. But how many of us will go undor between now and then? Tho latest thing in hotels is suggested by an ingenious correspondent of tbe Gulveston Neics. It is to be called tho iErial Sanitarium. It is to bo a huge balloon, firmly secured by strong at? tachments at a proper height. "Galves ton," be says, "is within oue milo of the most delightful climate in tho world, and this climate is directly overhead," To tho enormous balloon there, is to bo attached a frame-work of sufficiently strong wire, fitted up to accommodate 100 guests. This airy saloon will be reached by a smaller balloon acting as an elevator. When tbe barometer in? dicates disturbing weather, tbe gas can be let off aud the wbolo establishment brought dowu to the solid earth. Bex. Butler as a Balloonist.?Tho managers uf the Nuw York Graphic are entitled to the thanks of the country. They sent an invitution to Bun. Butler to cross tho ocean with Wise in the great balloon, us they were "desirous of securing the services of ouo of the best writers and foremost men in tho country a9 historiographer of tbo expedition." Old Ben. scut a reply, stating that be was obliged to tbem for their kind offe., but omitted to mention whether or not ho would accept. If the Graphic Compauy can get rid of Butler in this decent manner, their paper will forever after flourish through tbe liberality of a grateful people. Custom House Black Mail.?A New York despatch in tbe Western papers says: It is stated that a ledger kept at tbe District Attorney's office iu this city contains entries which, if published, would astound the whole mercantile public. It contains tbe names of nearly 500 merchants who bad to pay various sums, from $10 to $100,000, to compro? mise tuits brought against tbem by spe? cial agent Jayne, aud other custom bouso officials. This book contains the various offers made by the counsel of the defendant1, and tbe refusals to ac? cept the samo until a great sum was named, when tbe offer would be ac? cepted and tbo case compromised. Injury to tue Cotton Crop in Mis? sissippi.?A farmer, writing to tbo Mem? phis Appeal from West Mississippi, on the 20th instant, says tbe boll worm aud catcrpilhi rsbave ruined tbe cotton orop of that section of tho State in tbo last six or eight days. They will not make a bale to six acres, and that is tbe finest cotton growiug section in tbo State. All they bavo to depend on now is a few bard bolls, and tbe farmer will bo rained. These are facts. McDonoou's Fortune.?It is now stated that out of $11,000,000, the esti? mated value of John McDonogb'e estate, in Louisiana, only $73,000 are forthcoming. McDonogb wrote bis own will and his designs were magnifi r cent for New Orleans and Baltimore. Either be had a fool for a client, or else i the lawyers have taken a terrible re? venge upou John's impertinence at will making. - The First Through Train.?Tho last spike in tbe Air Lim? Railroad was driven by President Buford, on Tues? day, at a distance of 133 miles from At? lanta.

It is an enterprise fall of remuneration to tbo parties who will undertake it: Borne time since, we mentioned that we had been informed tbat a party of citizens of Augusta were about to esta? blish a pnblio laundry here. Since that time, however, we have heard nothing more about it, and tbo project bas pro? bably been abandoned. If this is so, it is certainly a matter to be regretted. Athens, a-much smaller city than Au? gusta, has recently established a laun? dry in her midst, which has every pros? pect of success, aa it is ander tbe control of a company of merchants of the place. Tbe people are tired of tbe exactions of negro washerwomen, and are deter? mined to fully patronize the new enter? prise. It will be both a benefit to the community and a paying institution to its stockholders, In all cities, public laundries are undoubtedly a necessity, and Augusta is by uo meaus an excep? tion to this general rule. Housewives are completely at the mercy of the co? lored laundresses, who not only make - enormous charges, but subject their employers to many annoyances. Cloth? ing is often kept over Sunday, and worn by friends and relatives of the women, and it is no unusual thing for articles to be missing altogether. With a public laundry, all of this annoyance and trouble is avoided. Every article is se? cure, aud tbe washing is done well and expeditionary, and, from what we learn in regard to tbe matter, at a less cost than by tbe present system. We'feel assured tbat the establishment of a first olass laundry in Augusta, under good management, would be welcomed by all tbe ladies of tbe community, as well as by unfortunate bachelore, who suffer from the impositions of washerwomen, and tbat it would be an exceedingly pro? fitable institution to those pecuniarly interested in it." The cost, we under? stand, of establishing a good laundry, is comparatively small. We trust, there? fore, that some of our enterprising citi? zens will take tbe matter in haud, and put in operation as soon as possible an institution of such public benefit, and which cannot but prove a profitable in? vestment. / Mail Arrangements.v-The Northern mail opens 6.30 and 10..30 A.
