Some account Of the origin Of the Dan

those who do not keep themselves suffi-
GENTLY " well posted" on foreign affairs
TO preserve a recollection of occurrences
twelve months since in Europe. The
Philadelphia Bulletin supplies the desider-
alum as follows:
The two Southern provinces Of Den
mark, Schleswig and Holstein, are chiefly
populated by the German, instead of the
Scandinavian race, and in this respect
differ from the remainder of Denmark.
IIolstein is almost entirely Inhabited by
Germans, and has been annexed 10 Den

When the revolution of 1913 broke out,
and was followed by The general enthusi-
asm throughout Germany in favor of a
great German nation, the people of Schles-
wig and Holstein, with others desired to
secede from Denmark, and join the new
confederation. In this wish they were
secretly upheld by Prussia. power ever
ready TO aggrandise itself, or weaken a
neighbor. Denmark, however, protested
against parting with provinces which had
been coded to her on the faith of treaties,
and prepared for war. Hostililies have
continued since with varied fortune; and
in spite of numerous efforts on the part
of neighboring powers to make peace.
Meantime both races have become mutu-
ally exasperated against each olher,render-
ing their living together under one gov
eminent more difficult than ever. Unless
the Danes, however, arechecked by Prus-
STA, The reyolted provinces will have to
gvein; and if Prussia, seriously interfere,
Russia will probably assist Denmark.

Public Sentiment in Virginia.

The Stanton Spectator thus speaks
confidently, and, we fully believe, accu-
ratelv of the sentiment of the people OF
Virginia, touching the recent course OF
our Senators in the Senate eff the United
States:
1--WE gave i, as our opinion last week
that not one IN ten Of the people of Vir-
GINA approved the course Of our Senators.
Of our own county we can speak advised
" and in even broader terms. Augusta
has a white population of nineteen thous-
and souls, yet among this whole number
we have not seen or heard of single in
dividual who is opposed to the Compro-
mise, and but one whose position in ref
erence to il is doubtful. Nearly, II not
quite the same unanimity exists through
out Western Virginia. In the East there
is some diversity of sentiment, but even
in that section of the State, the indication,
are that large majority of the people de-
sired the success of the measure.
cit is in the face Of such state Of pub
lie sentiment as this that the two Virginia
Senators have shaped their course, and
have done what they could to commit the
State to the reasonable schemes Of South
Carolina disunionists."

bor or anti-Free- soil system; no opera
tors IN the establishment but blacks. The
superintendent and oVerseers are white,
and of great experience IN manufacturing
districts the North, and although strong.
ly prejudced on tire first arrival at The es-
labishmem against African labor, from
observation and more experience, they all
testify to their equal efficiency, aud Rrea
superiority IN many respects. So as no'
10 act Preciplately, the experiment of Al
rican labor was 6rsttested in the SPINNING
department. Since which. the older Srin-
ners have been transferred TO the weaving
room. They commenced in that depart.
ment on the lst of July, and are now
turning out as many yards TO the loom as
was performed under the older system.
A weaver from Lowell has charge of this
department; and she reports that, while
there is full as much wOlk done by the
blacks, they are much more attentive Ia
the condition of their looms. They all
appear pleased with the manipulations on
which they are p'oyed. and are thus
affording to tho South the best evidence
that, when the channels Of agriculture are
choaked, the manufacturing of our own
productions will open new channels Of
profitable enjoyment for our slaves. The
resources of the South are great; and ii
should be gratifying to all who view these
facts with the eye of a statesman and phi
lanthropist, that the sources of proper en-
ployment and support TO our rapidly in
creasing African labor are illimi;able, and
must remove all motives for emigration to
other countries. By an enlightened sys-
tenn of internal Improvements, making all
parts Of our State accessible, and by ju-
.icious distribution Of our labor South
Carolina may more than double her pro-
ductive slave labor, and not suffer from too
dense a populalion.--CharleSt0n Mercu-
