The appropria. .:Ioi hor Colored vchools are .the -inost Ptiik :ig evidence ofthiu ..iberality of Vr~'et, an,)d reftito the slanders of tie 10thern people who charge op-. pression of the UhiU hks it) tile Soulth, Ierely to ive thei a pretext .1.r re fu'iug to give Natlonal aid to educa ition of the illiterate In the Sou:he~in States. Mr. Tilhman has seen enough ,to coivink. in that tie Nort-h w:itLI ne~yer consent to let .any portion of the pro .ceeds pf.ipbtlo land sales be devoted I to .edgcadoouat, the Sotxth. Besides i aelfish co)lderatione, the North pre iers to ikeej) the .negro in ignwaance In order tiat ie qmay 4enuaiu tihe tool of designing dengogues. Public lands Will be reor.ved as baits to divert for- I Olgn immigration from the South, as the North is Jealots of .oxr growing power and inagniflcent resources. Whatever is done for education, therifbre, must be done by the State. I Already she Is doing much. The blacks.receive more for schools than they pay into the treasury for all pur -poses. Mr. Tillman belives this liber- I ality to be a little strained. lie fears that our people are at present too poor to endure any great increaso of school t 4ax.either for whites or blacks, but he ,would be delighted to be convinced that ho Is in error. He addo: Undoubtedly the greatest obstacles c to Improvemeut in our school system t are poverty and sparse population. Immigration rightly encouraged, to -gethor with rigid economy and diver sified industry, especially manufactur- 0 Ing, and more particularly cotton manutfacturing, would soon overcome both of these obstacles. I Then follows an itteresting com- L parison of the manufacturing facilities < .of the two sections, leading to the con- a clusion that there Is a balance of eight t per cent. in our favor in manufactur- f ing cotton, besides the expenses ot 1 transportation. A factory creates a : town, and thus brings good schools and a corresponding enlightenment of the people. lie concludes: ,I shall not discuss the d~tails of pro- 2 -posed amntdmnents to the ptresent school law, but, once for all, I wishu it, to be understood that I favor as hiu-h taxation na-tba.' vkm dortn I'rflu least. f'or ijniproying the cOitmoni schools and for reorganizing and rebuilding the ~ South Carolina College or University; c so as to ninake it a tirst-class institutioni t -equal to any in the lanid for impart-i ling either a literary, scientiflc or tech- I 'tdjal educatiou. Good popular edut cation always goes downwua rd-nevert upward-and it is the great imiver'sities .of Harvard, Yale, lirown, Dartmouth .and Burlington, more than their comn-r emon schools, thattave rendered Newv 1 England so enlightetned and so practi eal. It may be said now, as It was two thousand years ago, and wvill be two thousantd years hence, that "knowledge e is powver." The explanation why little and naturally barren New Enug ,1aad rules the Unuited States to-dar and has practically rutled them so long, is that every child in those pettv, inhosplitable Slates is w ell educated in .both theoretical and practical knowl edge, as was his fathe ir before him. So, too, if South Carolina would coni centrate her eff'orts tupon education anid cotton mannufacturing, I have an invincible faithn that the old common wealth wrould quickly begin to rise up grandly out of her rulis. Mr. Tiillman hits the nail on the head when be gives as the chief obsta cles to education, poverty and sparse ness. With money and with denser population, the present system, with a few changes, will be all that is nec essary. Until these are secured no system, publice or private, will give complete satisfaction, A hundred chil dren can be taughtin one sohool for one third or one-fourth the amount re quired for the instruction of the same number scattered among half a dozen or more different places. So far as the education of t.Lec'>lored people is concernted, they are citizens, *of the country atnd will remain here,1 and it is the interest, as well as the duty, of the State to educate them. A - thorough education will make thetm * stter citizens ju~st as it will improve .anybody. The condluet of the blacks In politics has been disheartening to their best friends, and has tun doubtedly given reason for the out ery against educating them. But South Carolina cait no more advane with a barbarous race in her midst than can Liberia or Sierra Leone. She must educate all her children, and (10 ullshecanfor schools, or she wvill fail tseueany of those sturdy and in telligent immnigrants that are just now 6o eagerly sought. Mr. Tillman, In our opiniion, voices the popular sentiment in arguing for .the best education and for common sehools. Tho system is working its way steadily In spite of all the embar rassments that have heretofore en bompassed It. In ten years It will be the boast of this State as It is of older commonwealths. --ay7 uria sescrnmipstaon. -wf iley are Britugi:Ig Aesolatlon:In SoUIO Parte of asOtla Aterlea.

Ih1ei (ircumstalices A11w these: .Capt. -lewetsoni was at Wil liaimspo rt1immediately after the de* feat of the Confederates at Gettysburr The Potomao, -Wias too high fi i'din and the reliance of Gen. Lee was on I tho poutoon bridges. As soo as tile Confedorates fell back at GetIsburg, a stroig:body of' Federal cavalh'v was pushed -forward towards Williainsport wh-rc there wats believed to bie nto con. siderablo nunber of Contederate troops. Inl truth, there were 13o sol diws, thltre except some stragglers. and the st-k and wouided with tle wagon teaiis. There seetned to be iiothiiig to prevent the eneny from ocetpyieng Wilhaml31s1port, dest roving the bridges an'd barring absolutely Gen. Lee's re treat. Seeing the danger, Capt.

The Battle of (le Teninsters. as it was cnlied, was tie salvatin of the shattered and vorii Army of Northern Virginia, and of' that battle, so miloInCntous and so litle knowni, Caipt. l owetsoni was the hero. Few old soldiers even, out side of the circle of his immediate c0m rudes and acquaintances, knew that the modest and retiring Capt. jewet son -was the central figure in one ot' the most dramatic inlcideits of the A NrGET OF GR 1ENVILLE GOLD.

In r'emov'inug it froimi the rock in which it was.iiihiedded, it was unfortunately broken. The hypothesis has beIen given for its a)p'pvaracie there that at nmie past time it careless r (Iruikein person may have dropped It in the shape of a $20 gold piece into the fire an1 that it had ' in a tielled ondition been carried off to tle ash heap and from thence into the cotton field, but in oppositioi to this theorv is the fact that there is phiiily evideit a fritigment of quartz rock adhering to it.
