That is a great time for wonders. f-iT' We would call the aHention of cotton planters, to the new Advertisment of .Ur. Robert Dickinson. tSe sms. The recent change of mail routes through our District is likely to be of se rious inconvenience to many of our sub scribers. ’Flie papers for the offices at •Swift Creek, Mt. Elon and Hartsville, which were received at the two first named on the day after publication, and at the latter in two days afterwards, are now sent by a circuitous route through Sumterville and BishopviHe, and do not reach their destination in less than ten days from the time of their publication. There must be some mismanagement somewhere, and we trust that as post masters become more familiar with the route, this will not be the case. It is re ally too bad, iu this age of steam and electricity, that subscribers not more than ten or fifteen milt* from us should be al most as long in receiving their papers as it would take to make a trip to Liverpool. A RICH TREAT. We gat down the other day to dinner at .Wr. Dotks's Hotel, where we had the pleasure of partaking of a large rock fish which was sirred up iu fine style, and corresponded with the rest of the dinner which we have seldom seen surpassed in the country. THDinilTS fliTilfllE EDICATIOV. It has been a subject of remark as well as of congratulation with us that since we have been observing the progress of things, there has been among the people of our District as well as every other por tion of the country of which we have any know ledge, an increasing interest in the education of youth. And especially have we been pleased at thri growing con* corn manifested on the part of parents lor the education of their daughters.— Time was when woman, whom savage and barbarous nations regard only as the now afforded to hear this very distinguish- s | an > or menial of man, was looked upon rd votary of science.—\ational Intrlli 1 genccr. navigation. Its width will soon be mea sured in another direction by Ut« Wil mington and Manchester railroad, which will make us neighltors to (he remotest inhabitants of the country. What then is to deter us from estaWiehbig a school of this character within our borders.— We are satisfied that Darlington District alone is able to support such a school.— We have no accurate statistical informa tion at hand by which to prove this opin ion to be correct by figures, but tipon looking over the catalogue of the Brad- tord Springs Female Institute for the last year, we see the names of twenty-five students from Darlington District alone. We know that Barhamville, Limestone Sprirfgs, Salem, N. C., Carolina Female College, Floral College, Greensboro, Ra leigh, N. C„ and other places have tor several years past had representatives from our District. Who can doubt our assertion that Darlington alone could sup port a school of this kind. And we need not speak of the advantages which such an enterprise would confer on our District as a community, in the dissemi nation of intelligence and morality, but al. so on its patrons individually, in saving the expense and anxiety which it must cost evety parent who sends his daugh ter at a distance from home to school.— We need say nothing of the advantages of what in usually called home educa tion. The day is passed when it is re garded as indispensable that children should be sent away from home to ac quire either a substantial or an ornamen tal education. And the advantages of that parental supervision so necessary in (he tender years’of youth, must be appre ciated by every parent. We would sug gest Springville as a suitable location for such a school. Its reputation for health, and its salubrious air and pure water have long made it a summer resort for the inhabitants of this village, and many oiher portions of the country. The so ciety is nowhere surpassed, and it is con venient to the village, and at the same time sufficiently removed from its temptations. It is within eight or ten miles of the Fee Dee river, and about the same distance from the Wilmington and Manchester railroad. Its central location in the Con gressional District is also another strong recommendation. ELECTION Foi’lOWN rfll'NClL.

It is my chief desire to be useful to my fellow-citizens, and it would be my pride to occupy a position in which I could more effectually advance their interests, but I cannot at this time consent to invest myself with the habiliments of a candi date, as I know there are many gentle men in our District with political aspira tions, whose commanding talents would enable them to serve the State better than I could possibly do.

On entering the ice they were completely at its mercy, being drift ed north. During the drift they were carried past Diomed Island, at the dis tance of a mile, and were closely beset until the 1st July, when they got into open water, and in two days reached Cape Prince of Wales, where they found the Plover, much shaken with her third winter’s sojourn in those regions. The Plover had not found any traces of Sir John Franklin. There were reports of white men seen at the source of Darabin river. Search was made by assistant- surgeon Adams, but nothing was found. The Plover is expected soon with full de tails of this search. But little further in telligence is expected even from the En terprise. ^ » The New York Times, treating of the abuses inflicted on American citizens by the authorities of Cuba, says: “The policy of our Government in re lation to several urgent matters wants precedent, and therefore wants definite settlement. Congress losses itself in dis cussions upon conflicting views of inter vention. But of equal concern are the rights of citizens abroad ; and the ques tions they have raised are as difficult as they are abundant. Mr. Webster’s dic tum is no doubt sound, but it needs appli cation. The rule is not made absolute. An American citizen, imprisoned in Hun gary. is released upon petition. The im prisonment and transpotation of Mr. Thrasher was likewise the subject of the humblest representations at the Court of the Escurial American sailors, ship wrecked upon asemibarbarous shore,and confined agreeably to a semibarbarous law, are to be demanded at the peril of cannonadings and liombardment. No or iental des|x>tiMn is more thoroughly re fined than that of Cuba. There is none more barbarous.” Indian Depredations in Texas and El .Paso.—The Indians continue their depredatiens along the Rio Grande and Nueces, and even within fifty miles of San Antonio. On the evening of the 21st ult., a party of them, fifteen in number, charg ed on some fourteen Mexicans and Amer icans who were out running wild horses, near San Antonio, killed Ronaldo Navar ra, a citizen of that place, wounded an other, and drove off all but six of their horses. The last Courier in from Laredo reported several Mexicans killed by Indi ans. Lieut. C. H. Tyler, of Company C, 3d dragoons, had sent a portion of his men, under Corporal Stranger, against the Indians, near Belleville. The Corpo ral charged on fourteen of them, killing four and capturing thirteen of their hor ses. The rest escaped through the cha- parrel. By advices from El Paso to the 10th ult., we learn that the Indians are also very troublesome in that quarter. Ten United States soldiers had been attacked near Fort Fillmore, by the Apaches, and four of them killed. A priest and his par ty were also attacked at Puento. and three men killed, and all their horses and pro visions carried off. The Indians also caught a party of Mexicans near El Paso, tied their hands behind them, and sent ihem into town, with their compliments to the authorities.

The penalty of interfering between a man and wife, is abuse, frequently accompanied with blows from both. The penalty of a godfather, is a sil ver krtife, fork and spoon.

Nobility of Sentiment.—Tlte follow ing patriotic sentiment we find attributed to His Excellency Gov. John H. Means, in the Darlington Flag, placed immediate ly under the appropriate combination of the Palmetto ami helmet forming the court of Arms of South Carolina, and useiFas a motto for that paper. What more suita ble inscription can be placed und^r the foilage of the Palmetto, we cannot con ceive. it is the language of wisdom in all its strength-and purity and therefore is entitled to tlte appellation at the head of these remarks: “ Tlte dangers which threaten our coun try call upon us to burv the party feelings which have so unfortunately divided and distracted us and to unite all our ener gies against the common enemy of our institutions.”—[Gov. Means. Railroads.—The number of miles of rariload constructed and in operation at the inning of the preeant year in the Uni- by official documents at ted States is put, Washington, at ten thousand eight hun dred, and about the same amount is in course of construction, with the prospect of being finished within five years. It is estimated that by 1860 there will have been finished in the United States thirty thousand miles of railroad. The cost of Ihe roads already iu use is reckoned to be $358,000,000, and it is supposed that those now in progress about eleven thousand miles—may be completed for $i65/>00,000. The new railroads of the South and Weet will be built at an aver age expense of $15,000 per mile, while those in the older States have cost about $30,000 per mile. The great disparity in the cost, it is also stated, has been oc casioned by the want of extierienee in tho construction of railroads while the system trfss new, the higher price of the iron the.i than now. and the comparatively small amount of land damages which it is ne- etsaary to pa; in the new Stales. herville District, informs the editor of the Banner, that in two weeks he has realized the surn of ten thousand dol lars and upwards from his operations with eight hands. The work of two days alone yielded him something over three thousand dollars. Independent oj the gold, there is at this mine, says the Banner, inexhaustible quantities of tnanganise. which commands a ready sale in the Northern markets, and of itself would be a fortune. Mammoth Stkameus.—We see it stated in the London Times that a pro position is on foot lo build iron steam ers of T20 feet in length, with 90 feet beam, and 36 feet in depth, with four engineers of 1000 horse power and a screw, whilst there will be eight masts, with huge latteen sails. The vessels are to be built of iron, and w ill he not only shot, but fire proof, and, from the novel method, though simple, and for strength known to every school hoy, their immense length renders them more safe than those of smaller con struction. It is calculated to carry 2000 passengers, with a theatre for amusements, dee., and could in case of war open a battery of three hundred guns. This projected scheme is for the purpose of bringing the English colonies within month's reach of London.—Mobile Register.

Cafture or Indians.—By the ar rival of the steamer Welaka from Flo- ttda, we learn that Gen. Hopkins had succeeded in capturing a number of Indians, whom he had sent to Palatka. The Governor of Florida having eeiii Gen. Hopkins with a small force to as certain the position and intentions of the Indians reported to lie hostile, while proceeding through the country eame upon an Indian camp, and saceeeded in captaring eleven Indians, one warri or and ten squaws. A squaw in at tempting to esca|ie, we regret to learn, was fired upon and wounded in the leg. These Indiana are now at Palatka, un der a guard. One of the sqnawa cap tured, it is said, is a wife ol Billy Bow- legs. It wili be remembered that Bowlegs has all the time maintained that his In dians were peacealdy disposed, and that the depredations that had been oftfrnnbtari 'v*r» the work of sene ades and vagatmnd Iddians, whom he had banished from the nation. If we recol lect right,'he even promieed to al dht suppressing them. The party taken hy Gen. Hopkins would seem to belong $8 75 for each musket. In 1839 they could not be made at less than $17 44.
