than a high one.. The present has done much to

that America possesses IN abundance iron, coal, la

soil! and from this draw conclusions OF the speedy

ture of treachery and heroism, of wisdom aud wick.
edness, OF meanness and generosity
An effort was made here some time ago to ex-
clude ali save citizens from eligibility to the city
guard; to abandon the civic uniform. The Council
prudently resolved to pass to the order of the day,
| leaving the matter open to the discretion OF the
Mayor TO select out OF the numerous candidates the
ftest persons and although he is OF Germanlc orr
GIN we hear of acts of strong sectional favoritlsm
being LAID to his charge. The guard paraded last
| week over an hundred active looking soldiers. a.
portion of them have been trained to the use OF
| great guns. No person could view them without
| coming to the conviction, that IT an emergency
| should arise, they could be relied on. Col Lance
is Captain of this force, and better selection could
not be made. Tall, active, and energetic, he knows
all the whereabouts of his native city; he joins to
that courtesy which wins the attachment of the poor
| and humble, the frank manners that invites con-
fdence and the firm mind that insures respect.
| His competitor for this Office was Mr. Campbell
Douglass, another victim TO the fire Of 1898, and a
native of the land of the heather and the flood
Wehave rendezvous for recruiting tor the navy
established here, under the superintendent OF Cap
| tain Pinckney. Apprehenslons are felt that owing
to the popularity Of this officer, and the higher
wages given, the merchant vessels may be left with
| out navigators. When we consider that we make
scarcely any sailors here, and that of the pub
lie vessels paid off in this port, the question ma
turally recurs from whence will the drain be sup,
| piled that flows into the national marine!

offered Mr.. Johnson, the mesmeriser. $50 II he will

ofmagcians IN every age. Are we to conclude from
this that the fixed stars to be unhxed? or that
the truths of philosophy or religion are to be over
thrown? In6deity proclaimed carnival over re-
nounced. The principles of the great savan exists
side by side with the oracles of TRUTH and Condor

relations suited to the capacities OF those tor whom

General Hamilton, it is said. is about to bid adeu
to politics and Charleston, and in the midst OF his
numerous family, at his extensive plantations in
Alabama to cultivate the earth; and in this patri-
| archal and peaceful employment to seek for the
| planters happiness and reward. Few men have had
better opportunities of studying society than the
General, and when we thus see one so gifted and
so honored, snd so worthy of honor, abandoning
the great theatre of ambitsn for the tranquil life OF
the husbandman, well may we eXclaim against the
folly OF striving for name to be babbled by one se-
neration to another, and then call that lame. Well
may the wise man call ii vanity and vexation OF
spirit.
The scenes which have occurred in Mobile on
the 18th OF March are injurious to its reputation
None but the stupid or the malignant would take
offence at those innocent manifestations OF love on
the part OF lrshmen to fatherland. 1t is slgnlf-
cant rebuke to the foreigners who intend to tile
amongst us, for negecting to use the elective fran
chise. The Mayor ought and could have prevented
these dlssraceful riots; no public officer would have
amenable to the influence of the ballot box.
The Repealca does not flourish here, but Judge
not by this that it has but few friends; the
trary the principle OF feeling fo- the oppressed and OF
willingness to express that feeling, has dep abb

would be taken up with ardor, but nabaccaish!-
