coi'?jmsel^c: Friday Morning, April 16, 1876, A New Way Out of Shipwreck. > The great feat of the day is Captain | Boynton's nwiui across the English Channel from Dover nearly to iBonlogrie.' Ho accomplished about fifty miles in ] fifteen hours, the sea for a part of the I timo running high. Ho wus taken on board tho steamer which guided him about ti in tho evening, against his own wishes, in good condition, not tired, the temperature of his body reduced only one degree aixd his" clothes dry. The pilot refused to take tho responsibility of conducting him in the dark, as-thc wea? ther was growing more boisterous. His failure to reach Boulogne was not due to exhaustion on his part, and we may re? gard tho experiment as s^pccssfnl. It iB to be repeated, and we have every reason to oxpect will bo successfully achieved. It has been demonstrated that with the life-saving dress one Can accomplish five times as much as without it, that ho can be supported on the surface of the water for on indefinite period, that he travels with comparative ease to himself, can enjoy life and make his observations as ho goes along, can put up his signals | and guide himself to a point of safety. Arrayed in this India rubber armory, and armed with his paddle, he is . com? paratively safe on tho grent waters. He carries his provisions, a sail-to set when tho wind is favorable, his library, his cigars to solace his solitude, and his axe and knife for defence against whatever, enemies may attack him. A general chorus of admiration has greeted the bold and invontivc -genius, who has demonstrated by his. success that he has diminished the danger of those who ?'go down to the sea in ships." Lifo pre? servers and friendly planks will hence*, forth be at a discount, and this apparatus ?! of Boynton will bo the "only wear" for] those who are compelled to part with ] disabled or sinking vessels. As the New' York World has it, abandoning his ship, he can ."go on board of himself and paddle merily ashore." <-??-?? Couihq Together.?Governor Porter, an ex-Confederate officer, reviewed the Federal troops at Ash Barracks, Nosh-1 viUe, Tenn., on Monday evening, at the invitation of General Pennybeoker, the commandant of that post. The novelty of tho scene attracted a orowd of between 5,000 and 8,000 pooplo to the grounds. The band struck up "Hail to the Chief," on the appearance of Governor Porter I and his civilian staff. Great enthusiasm and abundant good feeling marked the occasion. Thus, in spite of the efforts of I those who constantly seek to revive old issues and awaken bitter memories, who j invoke a spirit of antagonism and use the weapons of detraction against the 1 people of the South.,-the hearts of the people of all sections of the country and in all classes, and more especially in the military, yearn for peace and good will. The sentiment of the people of the North is a long way in advanoe of that of the National Government. And the army which, under its direction,, had to do suoh work as it did in Louisiana, is em? ployed in- - a way faT 1 more grateful to itself when exchanging courtesies, such as we have tho pleasure of reading of as having occurred at Nashville. The kind feeling shown at tho Charleston Wash? ington Light Infantry Fair is another equally healthy sign of returning amity and justice. Only politicians of an in? ferior sort have the purpose, moved by a narrow view of interest, to keop tho peo? ple longer estranged from.cach other. Speaking of the "use a Governor may be put to," the Winnsboro Xeics says: "A look-chain to a wagon is sometimes more to be desired than a whole team of mules, especially when the tendency is to run down hill. Now all the govern? ments in tho United States have that ten? dency developed to a remarkable degree, and the more they are loaded, the more they increase their speed. In such cases, they need the brakes badly, and here tho usefulness of a good Governor is made nlanifest If he exorcises discretion and possesses sufficient nervo, he can, in nine cases ont'of ten, defeat any fraudulent measure that has run the gauntlet in the Legislature. An insignificant little, word of four letters, a mere mummy,' as it were, a shrivelled remnant of a dead langnage, exhibited in the hand of the Governor, becomes a living, active force, paralyzing tho energies of any less than two-thirds of the sapient Solons elected by the pooplo in its majesty to presido over.its destinies. This veto power in the hands of a good Governor, is the safe-guard of tho people jn,these corrupt days, when - money ana' aemagoguism rule the State. Governor Chamberlain has already interposed his veto on seve? ral occasion*!, v/hoft right domandod it. Another veto-is now in order?a veto im Factory rt?Tift.?ATnumbef of Granges Abbeville, Laurens and AnderKon Counties contemplate uniting their re? sources in the establishment of a' cotton factory at Erwin'? mills, on the Salads, six miles from Honea Path, on the Green? ville and Columbia RuUroad. Mr. Erwin, as wc lenrn from the Press and Banner, has offered the site and water power as a gift to the company, worth in money about $10,000. This is tho best thing we have heard of the Granges doing, and the example of Mr. Irwin is worthy of high commenda? tion. Hooks have been opened for the pur? pose of securing the capital stock of a now cotton factory in Augusta, Ga., as we learn from the Augusui Chronicle. A large fine building, 50x100 feet in length and breadth, three-and-a-half stories high, the walls of great thickness,,an-J other standing near it ono story high, 52x150 feet, both standing upon the Au? gusta Canal, with ample grounds, arc to ] bo subscribed by Mr. James A. Gray, at a valuation of $50,000, to be taken in stock of tho company. Tho capital stock to be $150,000. Of this amount, if $50, 000 bo taken in Augusta, Mr. Gray ex? pects to go North and raise tho remainder necessary. It is thought that the $50,000 will be subscribed this week, $30,000 of it having been put down already. It is contemplated to make checks, which meet ready salo at 45 to 50 cants per pound. No mill in Augusta or in South Carolina makes this class of goods. Wo aro glad to notice in this connec? tion that books have been opened hare [for subscriptions to the capital stock of the Congarco Manufacturing Company. We trust-capitalists will look into this matter and give a helping hand to ah enterprise whioh promises rich returns. The people of Columbia are under the necessity of bestirring themselves for the recovery and improvement of their ] trade. Tho loss of cotton and the whole? sale business is seriously felt. Manu? facturing is the most inviting direction to which they can turn their attention and give their energies and means. It will save the city from further decline and build it up as nothing else can. Tue South Carolina RAii.no.vn. ?The [ committee appointed to consider the re? ports of the officers of the South Caro? lina Railroad and the accompanying statements of accounts, on the second day of the meeting of stockholders, (Wednesday,) reported that a highly sa? tisfactory exhibit had been mado of the condition of the company, in view of the recent financial disturbances and com? mercial embarrassments throughout tho country. They approvo of the recom? mendation embodied in tho President's report, from bank and railroad commit? tees, that the'bank be removed to tho principal office of the company, and that Mr. Magrath be made President. Aftor some further recommendations, thev com? pliment tho method and order adopted in tho keeping of accounts, and urgo that the strictest economy bo exercised in the administration of the company's affairs. They refer with pleasure to the fidelity and integrity with which tho offi? cials of the company have discharged tho various tr?ste reposed in them, add? ing the following handsome compliment | and deserved testimony: "Amidst all | the frauds and defalcations that are con? stantly recurring, that even now snr-1 round us, the officials, agents and clerks of this company for near half a century, with millions constantly passing through 1 their hands, have ever held steadfast to old-fashioned principles of honesty and integrity." Mr. Samuel Sloan, President of tho Delaware, Lackawana and Western Rail? road, and a director of the South Caro? lina Railroad, seconded, after eulogistic remarks', the motion of Mr. Cohen, re? turning thanks to President Magrnth for tho "marked ability, judgment and per? sistent industry with wdiich he has ad? ministered the affairs of tho Company. Mr. Geo. A. Trenholm mado some in? teresting remarks upon railroad manage ment, followed by gratifying statements and good suggestions from Messrs. Geo. W. Williams and Samuel Sloan. The following is the result of the elec? tion for Directors of the South Carolina 1 Railroad Company: Win. J. Magrath, George A. Trenholm. L. D. DeSaussure, John Hanckel, Andrew Sinionds, Geo. W. Williams, Henry Gonrdin, Francis J. Pelzer; Daniel Tyler, Win. A. Courtenay, I James S. Gibbe's, Richard Lathers, Sa? muel Sloan, Moses Taylor, J. P. South? ern.

Prin-1 gle, Henry Gourdin, J. Hanckel, JamoH j Conner. Mr. Magrath has been re-elected Pre? sident of the railroad. It seoms to be generally accepted that the signs of the times in tho money markets ere confirmatory of the theory that the country is verging towards a steady and prosperous bnsineea era. The New York Evening Mali romarki that the feeling in Wall street is, doubtless, somewhat in anticipation of "tho good time coming," and is not always con? trolled by good judgment, but \i indi? cates unmistakably the general convic? tion of our nhrowdest judges of tho signs of the times, that tho tide has bnrom to turn, that money is seeking invest-' ments, and that confidence is coming book, we, hone "to stay." That is the general aspect of "tho street," as any ono1 can find oat who is in doubt of the situa? tion. For the flvrd time since the panto, money is pouring into Wall street in large quantities from inventors outside of the city, who are exchanging Govern? ment bonds for securities that have the "promise And potency*' of development' ^ftelr'yMtte. 1 A remarkable" Sml^8S Deen'^jrojignT against the city of iniil?delphiaos trustee under the will of the well-known 8to phen Girnrd. In 1824, Elizabeth Bntlor, of Baton Bouge, La., deposited $60,000 With. Mr. Girard for the nee of her daughter, Nancy Brown, tho deposit to continue ninety-nine years unless called for by Nancy Brown or her. heirsV In 1813,.the certificate of deposit was given to Abiiah Brown, one of the heirs, to go to Philadelphia and secure tho money. He did not havo the means wh#rewiUvto make the journey, and his'wife Bhortly after this flew into a passion with him and threw the certificate and power of attorney into the fire. Now, an attempt is being made by Nancy Brown's heirs to obtain tho funds, but tho Philadel- ] pltin court decided tho other day that the plaintiffs could not search Gimrd's books to find an entry of the deposit, and that the suit must be against the personal rep? resentatives of Girard. It will doubtless be a long timo before the plaintiffs get flieir SfiO.000. Sale or Blooded Cattle. - -The sale oi Elliott A Kent's Elm Grove herd took place at Dexter Park, Chicago, on Thurs? day, and was largely attended. Tho sale included 48 cows, which brought $:ll,0i);), averaging $04.0.87, and 14 bulls, bringing $2,910, averaging $'207. S. \V. Fiekliu, of Charlottesville, Vn., purchased two cows, for which ho paid $125 and $105 respectively, and A. M. Bowman, of WuyneBboro, Va., became the purchaser of two cows and a bull, for which he paid $775, $521 and $725. The sale of the Linwoodherd, belonging to Kissinger A Co., of Clarkesvillc, Md., took place at Chicago, on Friday, the salo including fortv-ono head, which brought $21.705. S. w. Ficklin, of Virginia, bought one cow. for which he paid $530. Southeun Poems.?Messrs. E. j. Hale A Son, Now York, announce a volume of poems by Mr. Paul H. Hayne. The title of tho work is "The Mountain of Lovers, with Poems of Nature and Tradition." It will'be issued on or about the first of May, and will consist of poems com? posed by Mr. Hayne during the past three or four years ?poems which are careful picture* of the pine land scenery of tho South, and of legendary stories possessing in themselves and on account of their graceful and poetic treatment a vivid and absorbing interest. The lite? rary world will hail with delight tho an? nouncement of this last contribution by Mr. Hayne. Prof. Huxley, speaking of the origin of tho horse, gives the follow ing lucid explanation of its existence: "The evi? dence, based on the analogy of known developmental facts, that a* three-toed Hipparion form, which lived in the Mio? cene epoch, gave rise by the suppression of the phalanges of the rndimental toes nnd some other slight modifications, to the apparently one-toed later Tertiary horse, is as satisfactory to my mind as tho evidence, based on the analogy of known structural facts, which leads me to havo no doubt that tho Haid extinct Hipparion had a simple stomach and a certain kind of heart.' Tho following parody on Tilton's Sir Marmaduko's Musings is going the rounds: "SOL MAMALCKE'k MTJ8INOU." "I won a beauteous maid, Or rather thought I had, But when I asked her dad He got so thunderin' mad, I folt afraid. And when she bid me 'stick,' I did; but with a frown Ho snatched mo by the crown, Aud yanked me up and down, * And then? I 'dusted' quick." The Bim.nrxa Trade in New YbiiE. - Tho New York 7Wbim- savs the prospects for the building trade for the coming season in that city have not materially improved since last year, when they wore not as good as In 1873. Sevoral reasons are assign od for the present dull? ness in tho trade?the dullness in busi? ness generally, the reduction of rents without a corresponding reduction in ! the cost of building materials, which have fallen off slightly since tho lost year; the obstinate and uncompromising attitude of the trades' unions and the consequent frequent strikes among the workmen. M. Scgnin is dead. Ho bnilt the first railway in Franco (from Lyons to St. Etienno;") he invented iron wire suspen? sion bridges and tho tubular boilers of locomotive engines, by which invention railway trains have been able to attain their present great speed, for the tubu? lar boiler generates steam rapidly enough , to supply the vapor as last as it is wanted. Ho lived to attain the age of eighty-nine years. His mind had de? cayed some years before Iiis body. He was a pupil and nephew of Montgolfior, the paper maker, so well known by his connection with ajrinl navigation. A venerable African, over in Alabama, has sentontiously expressed tho princi? ple cause of the decay of Southern pros? perity in these words: "Afore the .war tho white gentlemen 'tended to the poli? tics and the niggers workod. Conse? quence was orops was good and white folks had money plonty. Now-a-days the white gentlemen and the niggors am both gone crazy on polities, don't nei? ther of 'om do no Work, and Consequence is ain't noithor of 'em got 'nough to buy com bread." >'?;,; A Swiss paper roporhi tho diueovery at Y/ezikon of tho most ancient ovidonoo ydt known of the existence of man! It consisted in a kind of not-work of pointed fir polos, covered with wickor-work. The slate coal in which it was found, belongs to the period intervening between the two glacial epochs. According to Pro/.' Geikio, in "Tho Groat loo Age," the last glacial period began 210,000 years ago, and lasted 160,000 years, during which time it covered Northern Europe with a sheet of ice something less than a half a mile in thiokhess. ? Spinn En.?A wag says it is feared that Spinner's resignation will cauoo a panio in the rural districts, where the impres? sion prevails that his signature sym? bolizes Old American caglV struggling with tho serpent of rebellion.

Tho Brooklyn lawyers have taken hold of the case. The "Breeding Doves" is the name of a new colored society in Atlanta. Wo have tho "Bustling Jacobs," the "Chil? dren of the Furnace," and others of that kind, but thrro is a metropolitan twang about the title of "Breeding Doves'' that is perfectly characteristic. The only hope for Savannah, in a rivalry so in? tense as this, is for some of our colored I societies to have the independence to come out and change their name's to the ? Setting Swans" and the "Whooping l Cranes of Freedom." Churchill County, Nevada, is poor and pious. It never possessed a jail, and, nntil very recently, it never felt the want of one. But last week a real, bouncing criminal invaded its innocence. He was soon stopped in his mad career arrested, in short. Not having any jail, the County authorities confined him in a shaft 200 feot in depth. He was hoisted to the surface three times a day. and given his meals, after which he was lowered again to meditate and praise. The ocean passenger travel this year bids fair to be as large as ever. Ameri? cans who can afford to take a three months' vacation, and have the money to spend, still persist in thinking thai their dollars go furthest, for pleasure and solid comfort, in a tour among the won? ders of Europe.

Diseased Digestion.?If chronic indi? gestion affected the stomach only, it might bo more easily borne; but it gives rise, inevitably, to many other diseases affecting tho liver, the nerves, the bowels and the brain. Biliousness, nervous tremors, constipation, headache and I terrible mental disturbances are among its usual accompaniments. In fact, every organ, every fibre of the frame sympathizes with the debilitated and diseased stomach. What is needed in such a cose? Clearly an alterative and iuvigorant; and among medicines of that class, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is, beyond all comparison or estimate, the best More purgatives only deprive the system of the little strength that disease has left it Salivants nave the samo effect The whole internal organism has gone wrong, and can only bo put right and kept right by a medicine in which the tonio und stimulating elements. pre? dominate, but are qualified and modi? fied by anti-bilious aperients and blood purifying components. Now, the truth is, (and the medical faculty as weB aa tho public know the fact) that Hostetter's Bitters contain every ingredient requi? site for tho cure of dyspepsia and all tho ailments of body and mind which it in-' volves.
