THE BIGHTS OF NEUTRALS?GOODS CONTRABAND OF WAR. The Secretory of State, Mr. Cass, is now proprepiring a letter to be sent to Mr. Dallas, nnd our other Ministers at European Courts, which will define the American doctrini upon this point. The aim taken by England which enlarjtes the schedule of goods contraband of war, will not be acquiesced in l>y our Government. The French Government is understood to take the same view of the question a" the , United States. Upon ibis subject the Herald ramni ks: "With regard to goods eontriiband of war. j the progress of seienee has .-xt? nd<-d smnewhut , the limitation of those nrtielts which a neu ' tral flag may safely cover. Thus, England now maintains that coal in contraband of war; j but we liislicve ami hope that our government ; will not acquiesce iti that decision. It i* significant that tho French government Imru lit thin moment cantractA existing hoe for tin* supply of two hundred thousand t 11? of coal, and if that article tdiould be declared voiaruh.ind of war, it may involve tins country i" some trott- ' bio with the 1??*11 rent nation* of Kuropi-, ami it is more significant tit ill lioil two of the i hostile powers, France and Sardinia. have do- i dared that they ilo not. c->. si.h-r coal contra ! bam] ol' war.

Upon those points there virtually I exists at the pivsent inomci.t au alliance be- , the United Slates am! France, in public s<-ii'i J jnentB at least.

THE QUESTION OF NATURALIZATION IN A NUT SHELL. The following communication in the National Intelligencer of the 20th instant, is brief but cxlinustive: Tiik Rights ok N.vn*iT\uzf:n Citizen*.?Mo? sr.?. K?1i'ori?,?The recent letter of Mr. t'.i*s. the Secretary of State, Pining that naturalize.] eil i- | 7.0up. voluntwrilv rotiirnii'ir to tint country of i their birth, cannot lie protected bv tiie United States nirninst the obligations imposed upon li\* (lit* Uu'u r\f ciij.lt /iniit.lfi* %?

'nut the suit- ' ieet. is such a plain ni:d simple ?.iw tint it is | hard to understand liow there can In; twnopin- ! ions on it, or that the position assumed by Mr. Cne-s cnn for n moment lie douhtcu. The wliole question is in n nut-shell. To s;iy that otir naturalization Iiiws release a forfciirnhorn riiizen from the utilisations <>f the laws of his own country, when lie tlms voluntarily goes within the jurisdiction of that country, is as- j sen inif the pros* absurdity tlint a law of C?n gross can repeal the local laws ?>f foreign tri?-n. operating within the territorial limits of euch foreigt. c<mritries. liow would the |???o. I pie of this country relish the idi-a t.luit. n law of tl;e Itritish Parliament, or <if the French Chumhers, should nullify and rej>eal an net of Congress applicable solely to our own citizens, and solely within our own border*} It is supremely ridiculous to suppo*e Mint my foreign nution will thus allow us, legislative I netion, to recrulate their local affairs, or to sav what are or what arc not the obligation* of t!;*??wn subjects. Naturalized citizens, whilst they remain in the United States, or whilst traversing the ni? tvlnUt. in an\f fi.i'nir/n ?w.?i??( cxcept the one of their birl.li, are entitled to nil tin* rights ami protection of n:itni"l horn citizens; but when they voluntarily yo to the lan<l of (heir birth, as a matter of course at once become liable to the fulfillment of any nbliyations that cx.sted upon them when they first left their country. We are the last nation in the world that would submit to any other rule as records our laws and citizens, and it. would tio the height of folly for us to attempt putting up puch nil absurd pretension against .-?-irty"for??!gn tiovcriitiiciit. II. THE COLUMBIA MILLS. The Col urn liin unit*, belonging to the Saluda Manufacturing Company of J. G. Gibbs <fc Co., ha? lately introduced Woolen Machinery, and inaugurated the first Woollen Mill in the Slate. This effort to develop the industrial resource# of South Carolina in that line is admirably well-timed to assist the Agricultuinl Soeietv in stimulating the the raiding of sheep. We b "arn with much gratification that the planters ore responding to the call of Messrs. Gibbs, anJ freely sending in iheir wool to be manufactured. The succea of this laudable ef TOrt u> piiow iiini jii" innii ukiui *n us in immim' can be managed, is well deserved, and wo tru-t the enterprising and indefatigable proprietors will reap a reward to their indefatigable and persistent devotion to the determination to renovate their factory. It is, however, with much surprise that we learn a difficulty exists in proei ring hoys and girls to work in the uiill. It is at ratme that, so good an opportunity is neglected of bringing up to valuable labor, many young pt-ople now neglected in the various district*, who would be doing themselves service na well as the State in being put to useful employment. Some f rty or fifty are atill wanted, nnd the commissioners of the poor in the different districts should look to the chance of apprenticing some of their lien?tic-iaries where tlicy will 'lo something for the public good.

The ceremony of laying the corner stone of the New Episcopal Church in our Villngo was performed with becoming solemnity, on Monday morning lust tit 1(1 O'clock, by the Rt. Hcv. Titos ] '. Davis, 1>. 1>. the Bishop of the Diocese, in Hie presence of the attending clergy and quite a number of spectators. Seats had been been .prov ided in the pleasant shade of the trees in front of the present Edifice, and here a large congregation of gentlemen and ladies witnessed the interesting ceremonies of the oc casion. The cxercisaa were commenced by reading the 122 I'salni of David, responded to l>y the attending clergy and vestrymen. The Hector Lho ltcv, Hknjamin Johnson then announced the contents of the box, which was to bo deposited in the Corner Stone of the building. The Box contained a Parchment Roll, presented for the purpose (and so acknowledged on its margin.) bv Messrs. Himxc'ii, Allen A En w.utxs, Hook-sellers and Druggists of this town, and bearing tliu following inscription: ' Tisixity Ciit'urii Aiiiicvii.i k?Organized 1 Ot.lt Oct, 1842. Rebuilt. 1S50.

Appropriate prayers were then offered by the Kcv B Johnson, and tlio 100 Psalm of David, was then sung to the tune of ' Old Hundred"?after which followed the addresses of the Bishop, and the Itev T1103 S. Artim'r, of Greenville. The addresses were of a high order of mind and were listened to with rmi'di inteies'. The Bishop is in good health, bnt has suffered the almost total loss of his sight; but he aecnis to have sustained no diminution of his intellectual strength, and his discourse was characterized, by that, clearness, force, and logical acumen for which he is rioted. On the previous day, he had delivered two very impressive discourses. ami distinguished by even more than his usual earnestness arid power. The Address of the Rev. Mr. Arthur was an eloquent effort. and every way worth}* of the occa:ion and the reputation of ihe speaker. The plan of the New Church was prepared by Mr. (i. E. Wai-kkii, Architect, of Columbia. It in a beautiful det-ign in the Gothic style, and has received the encomiums of all who have scon it. The Church will occupy the site of the pic-sent rdifiee. It will be a large and im posing edifice, nnd will when completed be truly an ornament to our Village. BROAD BIVER RAILROAD BRIDGE.

Feli.ow Ladoukhs:?I address you upon o | subject fraught wit.li niucli interest lo ourselves ( and tlie public generally. It is a question tlmt | , lias often arisen in my mind, aud it now arises ; J why is it tliattbe Teachers of tlic District have i never met in convention and formed a Tench" er's association? This is a progressive age; i j and while the mechanics, farmers, and men of | every oilier profession arc endeavoring to im. j prove by coming together and consulting;?ex changing ideas and views upon subjects iinrnc- ; diately connected with their calling in life;? we, llie teachers, have no concert of action- ' Every man has his own notions of school-teacll- | j ing, and seems perfectly content to move nlong ' I in his o? ii way, without consulting with his J co-lahorcrs, in the great work of training the I J mind of youth Why is this the case? Are the j teachers not anxious to gain knowledge neces- I sury lo tlicrn in order that they inny lie the better pi'cparc?l to train tlio youth of our conn- j try aright! I think that they nre, but owing j ; to circumstances they havo never had that coil- | | cel t of fueling an?l action ; which all are ready ' i to admit would be bclieficial to them. Let j j this be the case no longer, but let us come to| getlier and try to udopt some measure that j will he more universal than hitherto. I.et us j endeavor to adopt some system that will be genj eral throughout the district. I will not attempt lo enumerate the advan- i toges that would accrue to the teachers and j ! patrons by t>ucli a course; but will indicate j only a few, leaving the others for future devel- ! opulent. The first,-great ?>iic is, the uniform j system of text books ; every teacher who has ; gone into a community and commenced a school : knows something of the troul.de arising from ; the want of uniformity, lie cannot class his pupils for the want of books of the same kind. { Parents too, know something of the expense ill j Inlying book* originating from the same cause. . And hook-seller? and merchant* too, know the j difficulty in keeping an assortment united to every man's notion. When we can discuss tin; variety of text tiooks ami adopt pome system tlirit will be general. We can also discuss the dilfeient. systems of government, and take the one that seems best calculated to meet the wants of the teacher. These with various other matters, that would naturally suggest themselves, to a body of men ; assembled for the purpose of improving the ! manner of teaching, are sufficient to call us to- i gfcther; in order that we may see what can be ! done towards the accomplishment of such an | end. I simply wish to awaken thought nnd reflection upon the subject; let us hear from j you. I propose that we meet at Abbeville C. II., ' on the lst.Saturday in August next, for the pur, i j pore of forming a teacher's association for Ab- ! i beville District. Come one, come all and let j us see what can be done. Respectfully submitted to the teachers for ' their approval or condemnation. A TKACtlEIl IN THE FOKK. THE WAR NEWS. i no ninii accounts i?v me frrrta, urine <te- i tailed reports ntnl in part official reports i.f the , In.tilt? at Marigtiauo, (or M111 n??J a town of Austrian Italy, and distant about 11 miles S. E. from Milan. The news, a| art from (lie war, is not of great j importance, although iudieiition* of opini 1 Bin! tho signs < f events, render it incrensinirl v j probable limt the war will bo extended to other combatants not yet engaged. The Now York Journal of Commerce thus . sums up the news : The previous reports of the victory of the j Allies at Mngei'ta are fully coti firmed, ;|mt ! they art in possession of Milan, have succeed- I cd in another engagement at Marignano, (or j Malegnano) that, the Austrians have retreated beyond the Adda, possibly in full flight j towards their fortifications at Pcschicra and j Mantua, and that tli- ir victorious enemies are ; apparently in full possession of the line extending Southwards from Cumo through I'avia and I'iacenzn, recently occupied by the Austrian : army. Tiie march of events in Northern Italy during the^tst lew weeks has been indeed swift i and*momentous. The Austrians crossed the . Ticino and entered Sardinia on the U'.lth of j April, a small portion of the French having five dnys previously landed at Genoa. On the ; 12th of May. Louis Napoleon disembarked at { the san*c port; on the 21st the allies gained j the battle of Montcbello ; on the 80th, crossed , the Po at Cnsale, and oil the 2d of Juiie, the i Ticino at Turbigo ; won on the 4th the decisive | victory at Magenta, and on the 8tli entered . Milan as conqueror*. thus literally fulfilling the i prophecy of the Emperor when iie entered Italy, that within a month he would date his despatches from the capita) of Loin hardy, Brilliant and decisive ns are the result?, the allies have as yet only passed the boundaries of Lombardy, and are separated from he Adriatic by innumerable dangers and obstacles, not > the least of which are the massive fortitiea , lions cn the Mincio and the Adige. The losses on both sides are fearful. It is perhaps a low estimate to say that within the lrst month i > 25.01)0 troops have I'ullen; and before the rival j States settle their dispute*. thousands more | . will join that vust army of Italy, which will never leave Italy. | AUSTRIAN STRONGHOLDS. Tlio falling back of the Austrian troops ren' ders it evident thai they will innke no per' flituent effort to maintain their foothold on the Western fide of the Ticino; and the withdrawal of forces from Como and Milan, the very | points where they will next be needed, would seem to indicate that they have lit*le expeda1 lion of making a protracted resistance in that I quarter should the French i;i turn become invu> dyra. Their purpose seeing to be to retreat uiittl they have concentrated themselves in the strongest positiona they can find in Lotnliardy, And there await the attack. These positions Are the chain of fortresses ruiiuir.c Kmh(. nml Wp?I m? ?li? Nnnh nf il>?> Po. Military skill Ii?b been engaged, at interval for centuries, and during the past ten year* almost (vitliout intermission, in striving to render Piacenzu, Muntua, Ferrara and (-'omnincliio, impregnable. At Cretnoun, Cuvale Mnggiort, and lome otlier places on iIip left bunk of the Po, (in lyonibardy,) strong tete*-du-pont lisve been construcied, and the veteran Archduke Maximilian d'Este, who built the round towers ii itia of I.ill* in n/?w hn?ilt? aa. cupied in fortifying Brescello, a Modonefle town, which i? ??t a very short distance from the fronlierof Parrnu. The fortifications of Gtinmallu, ill the Duchy of Modeno, Hre being repaired, and Austriun troops have recently entered the phce.
