The Charleston Temperance Advocate has the

and we trust the day is not distant when our

from Southern toxt-l>oyks:
' Most of the Geographies used in < ur schools
are chiefly dedicated to the benevolent object of
gloiiiying whatever i- produced in the Northern
Stales, and especially in New England, at the
expense of tlie young sisterhood. Any one, by
examining 'Mitchc-H's Geography,' which, for
years past, has superseded almost every other
treatise on this subject, and comparing it carefully
with others, may satisfy himself on this
point. This invidious distinction is csp< cinllv
worthy of notice in the descriptions of literary
institutions, colleges, universities and ptihlie libraries
throughout the Union. In chronicling
the resources of the Southern Stat?s, i !'. encv

h;t\e never attained the smallest c lebriiy. TieNow
England universities,on the coiitraiy, ieceive
the credit (which far be.it fnan our ii.c:ii a
tiou or intention to withhold, from tlmm) of having
contributed to the Union many of its must
distinguished men. We would not detract fioiu
the classic shades of old Harvard or Yale any
nortiou of that well-earned and r;chly-a.e;iti ?l
I
reputation which is nut only ;i monument ol
glurv to Now England, l>nt to our whole country
; tut we mu>t, at the >.11:10 time, he allowed
to claim for tlie South the distinction of Inning
given birth to a very largo proportion of tiegreat
minds, wliieh have reflected so much honor
upon the Alma Mater of their adoption.?
Like everything eUo at the North, those institutions
have derived much of their support and
fame from the contributions of our own citizens,
who, for the faNe eclat which it brings v.iih it,
even up to this time, continue to send their children
to them, to t!i neglect and di paragenient
of similar institutions at home.
"We would not weary the reader with elaborate
statistics to prove the fact, wliieh no one
who has read a single published catal guo of a
Northern college will undertake to deny. One
illustration, which happens to b? within our
reach at this moment, will be sufficient for tin*
satisfaction of any who have never looked into
the calculation.
"A catalogue of the University <>f Pennsylvania,
dated iti 1845 0, contains the names of 432
students in the* various departments. < >f these,
205 were from the Southern States; Virginia
contributing 80, North Carolina 54, South Carolina
19, Georgia, 14, Alabama. 23, Mississippi
15, and Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland and
Louisiana the remainder. The first mimed State
alone paid as her proportion nearly one-filth, the
second exactly one-eighth, and the whole South
within a fiaction of two-thirds.
"As an offset to this, we find in a catalogue
of cite of the literary societies attached to the
South Carolina College, commencing from the
foundation in 1800 up to 1842, a
list of lncnibm^HBing s?.ine thousands,
which weJtov^ - vain f r the name ?,f
a single stfoufcpt frotn 8 Northern State, during a
period of thirty-six years !
"The invidiousaiidtVid' ly-marked distinction
thus created, has been recognized and endorsed
bv our people to such an c:?uut, that the Northern
colleges and schools have acquired :;!l tin ir
. celebrity at the expense of our own ; and a
youth's education is not considered a 'liberal one,'
unless lie can produce a diploma from one of the
fashionable scats of classical learning in New
England. Now, let us impure, what have been
the consequences to ourselves of having lavisiica
our money and our flatteries ujion these institutions,
to the neglect of those at homo.
' Thus we sec that while we have so extensive
ly aided in times past to build up an oducah <1
community outside of our borders, by nflbiding
to Northern academies and colleges the means
of diffusing the blessings of knowledge almost
universally, we are compelled, with shame and
remorse, to look back at a widely different eondit
?n of things at home?and to lament over the
vast disproportion which it exhibits to that of
our neighbors; and this sad result lias been
caused by our having withheld from the former
the vcrv means by which we have materially contributed
to the latter object."
Tl:c I'ornclia :;l
No little stir has been created among our c??temporaries,
by tliecoudiict ??f the Spanish nflicials
at Havana, in examining tin* b u r bag of
the American ship (J trm lia ; and, perhaps, i veij
more excitement would have bci-n exhibit, d, if
election day bad not been s?> close at band.
We cannot, however, see the ju-tice nf tin*
censures, so freely bestowed, in many qiiarti-rs,
on the Spanish omeiais. in-^i? :??i <m joining mm
those who condemn the conduct of the Captain
General, we dtr.tic'd with th?* Journal t f Commerce
and otlnr papers that ?.U t? u.l him. Tim
facts lmvo only to In* narrated, indeed, t<> absolve
the Cuban authorities. Whether with, or
without tin* connivance of tin* master, a person
named Ilcnrknoss was improperly s--crel< d on
board the Cornelia, wliicli \v;e :m ofli-nce against
the local law of Havana. Thiscircumstance naturally
i suspicion. The examination of
the letter ba^ naturally followed, for, with one
revolution- jiwt suppressed, and another threatened,
the presence of a su-| icious person on
board a strange ship, would be considered auv
w here a just cause for such a scrutiny.
If we imagine the (Tiitcd States in the position
of Spain, we shall have no dilliculty in dedid:
ng the case. W as a foreign s|j, 1(l ;,j
one of our ports during a project, d invasion;
was the v-ssel to have secreted oil hoard a i|spicious
person; and was the country from wiiieh

expected, our ;mtlK>ritios would in>t hesitate, for
a moment, t" examine the letter bag. in order to
ascertain if there was any treasonable, or other
improper correspondence in it. The scrutiny
would be, in fact, demanded l>y the law of selfpreservation
: and our public oflieers would be
guilty of neglect of duly, if they failed to overhaul
the bag. What would be light for us to
do is equally just for Spain.
There is no violation of our flag in the a flair.
Everv vessel, on entering a foreign port, renders
herself subject to the laws of that port. No per
son but a fool would presume to say, that, when
the health officer boards a foreign ship in the
Delaware, he violates her flag. Every nation
has a right, in its own waters, not only to board
a vessel, but to exact submission to its own laws.
So far from censuring Spain, for protecting herself,
we should condemn those wiioseek to make
a cat's paw of our ships, and to carry on an improper
correspondence against a State in amity
with us, under 1I9 protection of our ting.

The object of this movement, although nothing
certain can be known in regard to it, cannot be

" We lake it for granted that the commanders

We must again remind correspondents that one of
the rules of all well-regulated offices is to require in
every instance the real name of all correspondents. We (

New Goods.
Our Merchants arc receiving very heavy stocks of
Goods, embracing every possible variety and price, as
may be seen by reference to our advertising columnsIt
would be invidious in us to discriminate, but of this
we are well assured, that no place in the country outside
of Charleston, can sell goods cheaper than Camden;
and, without flattery to our merchants as a body
of honest traders, wo may say that for integrity and
uprightness, tlicy art unsurpassed by those of any otl.er
place. If any of our friends from the country arc not
already satislied that they can buy cheap and sell high
in Camden, let them make the trial, and we shall have
no fears for the result*

The French President.
We see by the late news front France that another
plot to assassinate the President has been discovered
and frustrated at Marseilles, and a large number of the
conspirators arrested. The conspiracy was said to he
extensive, ami is supposed to have been set on foot by
the French Picdmontoso Socialists. The assassination
] was to have been effect ed by'means of an "infernal maj
chine," composed of two hundred and liftv gun barrels.
loaded with fifteen hundred bullets, besides four
| blunderbusses similarly charged with grape shot, and
, planted 011 a house on one of the streets through which
! Louis Napoleon was to pass the next day. Fortunate*
' lv it was discovered by tlie police. Had it been fuvd

State Elections.
Wo lincl in tno Charleston paper?, despatches con-1
tabling partial returns of tlio elections held on Tuesday
last iu tlio Slates of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana,
for members of Congress, from which we extract tlio
following:
Iu Pennsylvania, ten whips and fourteen democrats
havo been elected to Congress. The twelfth District :
is doubtful, although it is reported that Wright, demo- ,
crat is elected by one hundred majority.
The reports from Ohio are conflicting. The returns
received so far show a whig gain. The democrats however,
claim tho State by eighteen thousand majority.? |
Ui Cincinnati, the whigs have elected every thing.? :
John Scott Harrison, whig, lias been elected to Congress
from the second District.
It is thought that J. H. biddings has been defeated
in tho Until District, by Ebon Newton, free-soil whig.
In Indiana, the result is unquestionably in favor of
tho democrats.
Mayor or Baltimork.?R. T. Ilollins, Democrat,
has been elected Mayor of Baltimore by thirty-live hundred
niajoritj'.
Godoy Ahead, as Usual.
Wo have Godey's Lady's Book, for November, before
us. As usual, Mr. Godoy is ahead of time, and maintains
his rank, so far as wo can judge by a hasty glance. '
New Paper.
We have received the first number of a new paper
ust established at Salisbury. N. C., bearing the title of
'The Weekly Jubilee," and published by D. F. Long,
Editor and Proprietor. The Jubilee is of good size,
veil printed, Democratic in principle, and like all the
Political papers of the old North State, ardently devoed
to its part_v. If the present number is a fair sain>le
of what the Jubilee is to be, the whigs of Rowan
vill have a hard customer to deal with. We wish the
Editor much success, both pecuniarily and politically.
Health of Charleston.
The Board of Health report 29 deaths from Yellow
Fever for four days ending at 9 p. m. on Sunday.
rnini(?>rfeiter? Defected.
Sonic months ago, says the Cheraw Gazette of
the 13th inst., a loiter was received by an engra
ring house in Philadelphia, post marked at Chesterfield
Court House, signed by R. W. Smith,
requesting to have bills engraved like a three
dollar bill of the Dank of Wadesboro, which was
enclosed in a letter. The engravers immediately
forwarded the letter to the Rank of Wadesboro.
The Bank instructed the engravers to
comply with the request. A regular correspondence
ensued between the parties in Chesterfield
and f he engravers. In one of the letters of the
former, instructions were sent to forward several
packages of bills* one to Chesterfield Court
I Iou><\ one to Ilornshoro, and one to some other
post office. In answer to this, and by instructions
of the Bank, a few bills were forwarded to
Chesterfield Court House, to the address of R.
W. Smith. This package, it was ascertained,
was called for and taken from the office by
William R. (Griffith, Ordinary of the District.
Tin Tiv.Qri.iv of 1:1st week. Col. Hammond,
Cashier of the IJank, was at our Court House,
with the letters, which all who saw unhesitatingly
pronounced to he in Griffith's hand write.?
Some how on that night, Griffith got wind of
Col. Hammond's business and tied, and has not
yet been arrested. Subsequently II. W. Smith
and Berry Evans, who were concerned with
Griffith, have also lied, and have not been arrested.
It is not known that any of the counterfeit
bills are in circulation, but the probability
is, that they are.
Thus, one of the boldest attempts at. villainy
which over disgraced our Dist rict, has been nippod
in the bud. Griffith was elected Ordinary
of this District about two years ago. and is sup
posed to be worth several thousand dollars over
and ahovc his debts. lie has respectable family
connexions, and involves in bis disgrace an in
tcresting family."
Mississippi Legisi.au'i.e.? Both Houses of
this Legislature met at Jackson on Monday the
4th inst., at noon. The Governor's Message was
received, rend and referred. On Tuesday, in the
Senate, a joint resolution was ottered to limit legislation
to a portion of the proclamation and
message. An ( Hurt to include the election of U.
S. Senator was voted down, 17 to 0. A resolution
passed to embrace all matters referred to in
the message. 'I hat document referred to districting
the State, the election of I . S. Senator,

An Amkuican Viisski. Aitackf.d r.v Savages.?1
was briefly stated in the Ada's news by

was attacked in the river Congo, coast of Africa,
by savage-1. The following particulars are from
the X. w York Times :
"She was bound into the liver, with a valuable
cargo from Rio Janeiro, and, on rounding
Shark i'oint, unfortunately got aground near the
shore. 1 he nativ*-s seeing her helpless condition,
flocked to the shore to plunder the vessel, and in
the course of the day, t'n ir numbers amounted
to sonic three thou.-and. Th?-y made a furious
and savage assault on the vessel, which was most
bravely and gallantly dcl'-mb d bt ('apt. Oaksimlli
and his crttv for some hours, till the British
armed brigantine l>olj bin, which was fortunately
in tno ri?i r, came to his reseiie. and sated the

though not without the loss of life uii the part
of the sat ages. Oa ?hc following day the British
.-teamdiip Finflv came into the river, and
promptly rendered every possible aid, together
with the liolphin, to relieve the Mary Adeline,
which was at length got afloat, and was enabled
to pursue his voyage without much loss or daiua=?"
_ _
crna.?The New-York Tribune has the following
.statement:
"Ho nave reason 10 ueiievc ni.ii, me organ izat

by moans of military aid from this country is in
a inucli more forward st>te than is generally suppo-cd.

and St. Louis in the West, and to Charleston
and Xow Orleans in the Soutlw Moving
with secrecy, and guarding the foanms of
the so!11 mo, as far as pos-ible, from publicity this
conspiracy promises itself to avoid th-j errors and
failures of its predecessors. X\"ith all needful
funds it is supplied from Cuba itself, and from
the contributions of simpathisors bore. At the
same time, the leaders mean to hazard nothing
by hasty and immature action, unless unexpected
circumstance* should expedite the crisis."
Point ix Kknu ckv.?The Louisville Cvitrio
publishes a table showing that the number of
1 logs six months old in Kentcky, on the 1st January
last, Trimble country excepted, from which
returns have not been received, was 1,123,250,
and ramarks:
The prospects that the approaching packing
season will show a large increase over last year
are very flattering. We understand that very
extensive preparations have been made by our
city packers, and that Messrs. Jackson, Owsley
A* Co., have already engaged--10,000 hogs to he
slaughtered at their establishments this winter.
The prices for hogs are fluctuating, and have a
downward tendency, as we hav? heretofore re
marked, and we quote :i sale of fifteen hundred
