The board of directors of the South Carolina Monument Association desire again to bring before the people of the Slate the wurk in which they arc engaged. They have bought and paid for a most eligible site in Columbia for the erection of the monument ?that commanding cminence'so well known as "Taylor's Hill"?and have entered into a contract with an artist in Louisville, Ky., for the construction of tho monument, the granite to be furnished from our own State quarry, and the marble from the famous quarries of Carrara, Italy, where the marble part of the work will be executed- In April, 167-1, the corner stone of tho monument will be laid, and then the board wiil iccl that .1 Iciniii rvut-f nf thnii. lnhnr nf InVG liaS bcCtl ? |??? V v* (KMV* v. . - accomplished. There remains, however, six thousand dollars more to bo raised before the work can be completed, and it is earnestly hoped that this sum will soon be made up, and this last tribute paid to our honored dead and the principles for which they died. The women of South Carolina, who have assumed this sacred task, do uot feel that this work conflicts in any way with the duty they owe to the widows aud orphan's of our fallen heroes; indeed, the monument Association is, in a great measure, composed of these bereaved ones, ana there is scarcely one member to whom the Southern cause is not doubly sacred from its having cost her the life-blood of her dearest and best. While, therefore, they feci it a proud privilege to j assist the widow aud orphau of the Confederate soldier, they know that this is a privilege, in its very .nature transitory, and they would, in the enduring granite and marble, place on record, before coming generations, their undying fidelity to the principles of South Carolina in her best days, and their gratitude to the men who died to main tain theui. Confidently, then, the board oi directors appeal to the women of the State ! to rally once more to their aid. Two hundred dollars from each district will give thein them the required stun. Surely, for this small sum. they will not appeal in vain. The iadies of Columbia will again open a bazaar during the fair, in that port ion of the fair building allotted to them by the courtesy of the officers of the South Can lina Agricultural and Mechanical Association, ('onlri-1 but irms nf any kind will be gratefully u-c-uv- j ed. and may he sent to either of the following board of directors: Mrs. William Wallace, i Mrs. John T.

In a Southern city, the writer recently \ isitcd a household composed of an agfd couple and their two daughters?both lovely j girls. Resides these, there were tv;o absent children?one, another daughter, who was acting as governess upon the slender salary i of ^2-Di per annum, and a son. himself struggling to support his young family mi j the far Southwest. This family boloug fb tlic genuine avi?to eracy of the South. In their veins cour.- s I lie blood of one of the most illustrious of. Washington's generals, Before the v tr. large slaveowners, they lived in eascr.nd nftluenee in their beautiful island h >nie, sur-, rounded by all that make.- life pleasant and . happy, or traveling abroad for pleasure.? ; But with the surrender came the utter destruction of their property, and hopeless poverty and destitution. i\mr it was, how- ' ever tiiat the noble blood "f a gallant lace tgnin evinced itself. The parents were t o aged and feeble for active employment;but the noble girls, though < J tenner age, r.i . :>ncc addressed themselves to the arduou task of their support. One of thcui, as slated, obtained the position of a governess, and monthly contributes t/nr fourths of 1-. > scanty pittance to the loved authors of her being. The other two remain at home, and besides ministering to the j crsonal wants of the aged couple. plv the needle diligent!;, also to provide the necessaries of life. Pes Bessed of exquisite taste, happily the pro duets of their skillful fingers find ready pur chasers, and thus they ure enabled t<> live with such assistance as their distant hrothe.: also can afford. In the depths of their ad versify, the native dignit) and bright vir tuas of these pi^rless ladies shine forth rsplendent])'. Never did they appear in the halcyon da\> of the past, more lovely and attractive in the , eyes of the writer. Where i> the Si uthron. on tho contrary, who does not cherish a feel ing akin to reverence, lor filial utfection, sublime self-abnegation, an' gentle devotion like theirs?

I A tii'.F\t 1'aintkk tioxK.-rTlic works, if not the name, of tho great painter w hose death in Kngland. is just announced, are familiar to every household in America a* woll as iu his own country. "Lnndierr'a I Pots'' arc hung every where; engravings ui his vivid master-pieces of animal life, especially of dog file, arc scattered far and wide wherever the engraver's art penetrates at all. Unhappily the later years of Sir Edwin Landscer's life have been shrouded in the terrible calamity of insanity, and it is long since his sure and rapid brush has converted the canvas into speaking pictures which appealed to the universal feeling and taste ; but his master-pieces must always occupy the first place in the special branch of art to winch he almost exclusively devoted himeclf. I As the delineator of animals h6 stands lorej most and alone. Artistic talent seems to | have been hereditary in his family, for at ! least one of Sir Edwin's brothers, and one of his nephews, have attained eminence in the painter's profession; but neither has : reached the classical height to which he ; early succeeded, and which he maintained ; until his reason became so sadly clouded.? Those who'liavc gazed with admiration upon the noble gallery of his paint ings at the South Kensington Museum, and the specimens of ; his handiwork in the collections of the Duke of Sutherland and the Earl of Eel esmere, 1 can alone appreciate what a genius England has lost in Sir Edwin Laudsecr. It was fitting that he, like Reynolds, Lawrence and Grant, should receive recognition for his I talents from the government, by bis creatiou I as a Knight of the Bath ; for his name will i stand high on the roll of British painters. Trouble in Central Asia. London, October 3. Central Asia prresents at.this time an extremely disturbed condition of affairs. Civil war is reported as raging furiously in Tshokand against the native rulor, Khudoyar ivi.o.i ?ln) ii/imnlirt Tiii'rtimintiu of the iles erts around Khiva ar obstinately fighting Against their Knssian conquerors. 1 he Afghans are in active hostility against their Persian neighbors on thg west, and at the same tipio carrying on a dangerous intrigue with the Emir of Bokhara. Yakub Bey, the Khan of Kashgar, is fighting with the extreme Western limits of the Celestial Empire. This wole central region of Asia is in astute of dangerous unrest and governmental uncertainty. while its cities and fertile spots arc constantly devastated by a relentless anc savage warfare. Bukhara seeuis to be content with this warlike attitude of all th surrounding Khanates. From this point she is judged to be playing tbc most serious part in fomenting ibis unusual military .activity, and it is quite possible that, feeling I be alarm caused by the Russian advance into Central Asia, which was rectMly so loudly spoken of in England, she lias studiously excited the Afghans to disorder, and perhaps furnish them with mitrnilcuses and other warlike pmviuions. D is altogether probable that the Ku-sian Emperor will before long be compelled in Self-defence to take towards Bokhara the same course he has recently taken towar?bH\hiva, ai d permanently oeenpy the territory and reduce it to tho condition of a Russian dependency. A special dispatch to the Daily Telegraph, from.Balkh, Central Asia, reports a severe defeat of the Afghans t?y t he Persians. mere is reason to believe that tlw Afltans design the confjucst and annexation of Bokhara. A rebellion has broken ont in Khokund. Execution of Captain Jack. Jacksonville, Oregon, October 4. A correspondent of the Associated Press left Fort Klauiatli yesterday morning at halfpast 11 o clock, and, by hard riding, arrived here late last evening with the following roport of the execution of Captain Jack and his band : Boston Charley and Black Jim were led on the scaffold first and Schonchin next. They .trod on it with apparent indifference, having evidently rcs< lved to die as bravely as they bad lived. Captain Jac went easily up the stairway, but 1 okod wretched and j miserable. The manacles had been struck | oft'. but their arms wore securely pinioned j with cords. At prec isely three-quarters j past ! o'clock A. M.. the interpreters. C'apt. j 0. C. Applcgate an 1 J)avid Mill, explained j to the prisoners the nature of the order to j he read to them by the adjutant, and at 10 i o'clock Adjutant King-bury read the order J promulgating the sentence of the commission and the President's order therein), with ihe orders of the Secretary of War and department commander in the premises. The two reprieved prisoners, Haruncho and Flolux. yet stood on the ground in front of the scaffold shackled and under guard. Muring the reading of the sentence the victims were Seated on a platlorni on the scaffold, with their feet on the trap, listening anxiott.-ly, but oi course underst umiug not a word "( it The reading occupied ton minutes. Then the adjutant road the order of coin mutation in the ease o( Burnticlio and Sloiux. and the poor fell ;\vs were taken back -to the stockade, evidently rejoiced at not ac c? inpanyiug tlio others to the lnippy hunting grounds. The chaplain then offered an earnest and fervid prayer for the s< tils of the culprits. which was listened to uttentiveiy.

At i-rt'l-niv UllllUbCn lllliii 11.II v VI'IVU pulses wore felt by Capt. Iloqo, and as this is beiiifx written they are swinging lifeless in the air. As the drop fell with a terribly deadly thug, four poor, wretched human beings fell into eternity and a half-smothered cry of horror went up from a crowd of over five hundred Klamath Indians who witnessed the awful spectacle. Wails of deep and bitter anguish i went up from the stockade where the wives and children of the poor fellows had a fair view of the shocking scene. The coffins, six in number, had been placed directly iu the rear of the gallows. Two of them wore destined to be uuoccupied, as the order commut< -1- ? J Of ,1.._ mg the sentences 01 oarancuo aim oiuiu* only arrived at half-past ten last evening, and the preparations had been made for their execution with the others. An application was made this morning to Gen. Wheuton by the sheriff of Jackson County, Oregon, for the custody of the Indians indicted by the grand jury, but was refused. Orioin of the Modocs.?With the execution of Captain Jack and his braves, the name which he has rendered so fatuous, will, perhaps, become extinct. It is the deathblow to the Modoc tribe. 'Hie origin of the tribe is very obscure.? It is possible that they arc of Welsh descent; and that several centuries before Columbus had performed his perilous voyage, their ancestors sailed from the shores of Britain, explored the wild paths of the Atlantic, and finally landed on the coast of America. The historical facts on which this supposition is based, are these, which we gather from the preface of Southey's ''Madoc On the death of Owen Gwynetb, King of Wales, A. 1). 11G9, his children disputed the succession. Yorwerth, the elder, was I set aside without a struggle. Ho was ini 1 ... .. u?m;?i, f..?? tin. cupuuimiuu Ic% Uibulion III Uid ?uw. vid, the eldest sou of the King, bp a second wife, obtained possession of the throne; slow Yorwerth. imprisoned Hodri, and hunted others of his birth, run into exile. Madoc abandoned his barbarous country in disgust, and sailed away to the West in search of1 some better resting place. The land which he discovered pleased him : he Ileft there a part of his people, and went bnck to Wales for a fresh supply of adventurers, with whom he again set sail, aud was hoard of no more. Strong evidence has been adduced that he reached America, and Ills descendants finally settled' en the banks of the Missouri. it is highly probable that this Prince Madoc was the ancient progenitor of the Modoc tribe. They certainly resemble Welshmen in one thing : bravery. No savage warrior ever possessed more cqpl, unflinching courage, than Captain Jack. Charlotte OLmrcator. "Louise Muulbach."?Intelligence of * - n t tf ill 1 41 _ tno aoatu or L.ouise uuuiDacn, tne ueruiau novelist, on the liSth of September, has been Imblishcd. She was a native of Newirandenburgb, Mccklenburg-Strelitz, where she was born in 1814. In her youth she had excollent advantages to educate herself, and mi oagcr love for study. Iler name then was Clara Miller. While travelling as the companion of a German laJy of rank sho met Tneordore Mundc theu a promising young author-. Two years later they were married, and settled in Merlin. Except a short time at Jireslau, they have ever since resided there, and wero very happy. It will donbtless surprise many people, to whom the name l,Louisc Muhlbach ' is so familiar, to learu that it is a num ileplume. She began to write works, when very young, her first, "A Romance of Berlin," being." published when she was twenty-two years old. Her house was a great social centre for the literary society of Berlin for many years. She had two daughters, one of whom, Theodora, was some J A1 time since, actress, una iuc uiucr, mcitsii,is ambitious of fame like her mother's. In 1801 the husband of Mrs. Muodt died, iusance. Her novels have been political, religious and reformatory. The private life of Mrs. Mundt is said to have been entirely refined and full of generous and worthy actions. The Kaleigh (N. V ) Xics lias this queer statement: "The marriage of Mr. Hyiics a deaf mute, of this place, to a Miss Hunker, of Mt. Airy, also deaf and dumb, took place a few days ago, in the latter town. Mr. Dudley. a teacher in the deaf and dumb insiitute, accompanied Mr. llynes on his trip for his bride The minister read the usual marriage ceremony, which was interpreted by Mr. Dudley to the candidates. Tlierej spouses were promptly made by signs and everything was done in order- On thcjoliri noy to this city the bridal party cauie very near being drowned while crossing a swollen stream. The bridegroom, who never swam before, rescued bis young bride by swimming, and carrying her in his arms, a distance of several yards, to the shore, i They arrived safe in the city yesterday morning. Miss Hunker is a daughter of Kiig, one of the Siamese twins." Farai?ay.?"Naturo, not education, rendered Faraday, Btrong and refined. A favorite experiment of his own was representative of himself. He loved to show that water in crystalizing excluded all foreign ingredients, however intimately they might he mixed with if. Out of acids, alkalies, or saline solutions, the crystal eamc sweet and | nnd pure. Ity some some sneli natural process in the formation of this man. beauty and nobleness coalesced, to the exclusion of everything vulgar and low. He did not learn his gentleness in (lie world, for he withdrew himselfirom its culture; ami still F.ngland j contained no truer gentleman than he. Not half his greatness was incorporate in his bravery and delicacy ot his heart. "We have heard ujueh of Faraday's gentleness and sweetness and tenderness. It is all trhe, but it is very incomplete. You cannot resolve a powerful nature into these elements, and Faraday's character would have been less admirable than it was, had it not embraced forces and tendencies to which the silky adjectives 'gotttle' and 'tender' would by no means apply. Underneath his sweetness and gentleness was the heat of a volcano. He was a man of excitable and fiery uature; but through high discipline he had converted the fire into a central glow and motive power of life, instead of permittin:? it to waste itself in useless D&ssion " CHOICE SELECTIONS. Knowledge is a comfortable and necessary retreat and shelter for us in an advanced age; and if we do not plant it while young, it. will will give no shade when we grow old.?ChaterficlJ. The king, in reality, is well served: neither life nor fortune is considered when his pleasure is the question. If we were as well disposed toward God, .we should be saints indeed-?Madam dc Sevigne. All our sufferings are ordered by a Father; 'tis the portion our Father gives us to drink; and whatever bitter ingrodient there is in it, still it is of a Father's procuring, and why suspect it to be poison, and be afraid of it ? oiy ciiua wote crying irora n?r sievp: I bended o'er her bed, And soothed her, till in slumber deep She from the darkness fled. And as beside my child I stood, A still voice said to me, "Even thus thy Father, strong and good, Is bending over thee." Oeorge Macdonald.
