Adnm Clark on Dancing, !,

81 long resisted, all solicitations to this en-
ployment, but at last allowing myselfto be over
come, grew passionately fond Of it, and now, l
lost the spirit of subordination, did not love to
work, imbibed spirit of idleness, and in short,
drank in all the brain-sickening efHuyia Of plea
sure.
Dancing and company took the place Of read
ing and study, and the authority Of my parents
was feared, but not respected, and few serious
impressions could prevail in a mind imbued with
frivolty.
Yet, entered no disreputabc assembly, and
in no case kept bad company. Nevertheless,
dancing was to me peryerting influence, an
unmixed moral evil. l consider it branch Of
that worldly education, which leads from Hea-
ven to Eartb,-from things spiritual to things
sensual and from God, to Satan. Let them
plead for it who will, I know it to be an evil,
and only evil. No man in his senses, will

those Christians, who advocate course, by
which many sons have become proAigate, and
many daughters have been ruined"

COLONEL A. H. GLApDEN-This gentleman,
whom we of Columbia have, for years past, de-
lighted to honor, and who has won for himself
distinction, reputation, and the high esteem of
his f.llow-ctizens of this his native State leaves
US this morning for the West. He has formed a
business connection in New Orleans, whittier he
goes, carrying with him the kindliest regards
and the best wishes of our community for his fu
ture success.
The Mexican war developed in COL GLADDEN. a
brave and accomplished officer, and his gaantry
and courage in the closing desperate battles OF
that war are too wellknown to require repetition.
When COL Butler fell at the head Of his regi-
ment, the command devolved upon Col. Glad
den, who, with his brave men, continued trium-
phantly to sustain the honor and fair fame cf
South Carolina. Since his return, lie has been
honored by many testimonials of public esteem,
of all which he has proved himself most wor-
thy recipient At this time he is in the second
term of the Intendancy of Columbia, and we
feel sure that our community will award to him
the inert Of great efficiency aud energy in the
discharge of the duties Of that Office.
His departure from our community will be re-
GREETED by his fellow citizens, for the State loses
a gallant son, and our town useful citizen and
an accomplished gentleman: May prosperity al
tend him.-Souh Cdrolinian. y

Interest ting Facts.

In an article entitled "Reminiscences Of Printers
Authors ETC., in New York, published in the Interna-
tional Magazine for February last we find some inte-
resting facts. 1t il stated that when Franklin was
printer it was hard task to work off over thousand
sheets on both sides in day. by the hand press. Since
his time. we have had the Cymer, the Napier, the
Ramage the Adams, and now Hoes Lightning Press.
BY this lastnamed achievement in the arts honora.
BILE to son of New York, and stupendous in its re-
suits to the world at large twenty thousand papers
may be printed in one hour.
The New York Herald, and the Tribune, in their
distinct circulation consume aggregate fifty thou
sand reams per year. The Harper's who have thrown
John Baskerville, and other eminent typogaphers of
Europe in the shade by the magnitude Of their opera
tions use one hundred reams of paper daily at six
dollars per ream and make about ten volumes min
ute, or six thousand day In the matter Of stereo-
typng, the Harpers alone-a single frm-have within
their vaults plates fer more than two thousand volumes
Justly has it been stated that the press Of single
Office in New York City issues more matter than the
industry of the world with all its scrbes and ilunina
tors in an entire year, previous the time Of Faust Let
us then, reverence the press as our Franklin did Let
US cherish its freedom, as the triumph Of our fathers

SICKNESS IN SoUTHwEsTERN GEoRGIA.-The

SICKNESS IN SOUTHWESTERN GEoRGIA-The
Albany Patriot of the lst inst. says:
awe learn that rumors have gone abroad that
this section of the State is very sickly, and that
mortality has been very great. There has been
more "chll and fever" in this section this season
than usual, but it has generally been of mild
character easily yielding to medical treatment;
the mortality has been very little in this place and
in the pine land section. On plantations in the
neiphborhood of creeks and swamps, the sickness
has been severe but we Think it has not been worse
than in similar situations in any other section
This has been an unusually sickly year through
out the Southern States, so far as we have
heard"

Dry Ror IN CoTToN.-A New pest to the
cotton plant has made its appearance in Louis
lana and Mississippi, and is described as appear
ing in the shape of bug or fly which penetrates
bolls fully niatured causing them to rotand utterly
destroying them. The singular feature Of it is it
appears to be confined to plants raised from what
has been called the improved seed-the Prolific,
the Peruvian, the Prout, and othe" kinds. The
produce of the old Mexican is not at all eftec-
ted. Adjoining fields present the greatest con J..
trasts imaginable-one field, from the old seed
will be entirely free from injury, while the other
from the Prolific, or other fancy descriptions, will
be almost entirely ruined.
A correspondent of the New Orleans Bulletin
has several stalks of cotton injured by the dry
rot shown him. They were sent to New Orleans
as sample of the ravages Of this new destroyer.
The writer says:
"Upon these stalks were large quantity of
bolls Of every age, size and appearance. Some
of the bos which seemed, from their size, to be
within few days of maturity, had quite healthy
outside appearance, and a few Of these were
handed me by Capt. Leathers, for dissection.
Upon cutting them open, the staple was in every
instance destroyed by a bug or fly, something
resembling the common beetle, but much small
er. In Others, where the decay was most COM
plete, we found none of these insects, but small
worm, seemingly just hatched, and which most
probably were the offspring of the bugs, which
having consumed the provender in these bolls,
had gone on their mission of destruction to other
more abundant regions. From these indications,
the inference seems justified, that the dry rot Is
produced bp fly, or a bug, more destructive
than the much dreaded army worm, inasmuch
as the worm only destroys the leaves and very
young bolls and forms, while these iies or bugs
assault indiscriminately the largest and smallest
of the bolls."

Events indicate that the Cuban Question ap
proaches that state in which it will soon form a
party issue in the United States The institu-
ton, in this view, of the Lone Star is a signi6-
cant intimation. The purpose is not the present
invasion of Cnba The design is so to operate
on public opinion as to shape our policy on this
question through the election for the next
Presidency. 1t is by means of the aggrandizing
West, and the commercial North, that public
sentiment is to give the National Legislature
and Executive action such direction as to make
annexation inevitable.
The agencies relied on are mainly mercantile
cupidity and the love OF adventure. The first
will be found in our Northern cities, which ex-
pect golden rewards by the opening Of the ports
of Cuba and the last requires very little sti,nu-
lus in the masses of the West. BY these two
potent principles the design Of annexation is to
be wrought to its consummation.
In this posture of the question-bctween the
cupidity of the North and the territorial lust of
the West-what will be deposition of the South?
Between the two neither mill stones she will be
ground to dust. 1t is the policy Of the South
ern States that Cuba should remain in statu
quo. 1t is the wish of her citizens that the odi-
Gus monopolies, political and commercial, by
which that sand is deformed should be abol-
ished It's oppressed people have their sympa-
thies, but in the hereafter-in the dim obscure
Of the future-there is more to be hazarded from
evil example, in revolutionary movement, than
can be gained according to any rational promise
or expectation. Ifthc incubus of the Spanish
authority could be removed by any means short
of internal convulsion, the lesson Of caution, in
giving even moral aid to such movement would
be inappropriate and impertinent. Ifthe argu-
ment, in this aspect does not address itself with
sufficient force to citizens of the Union generally,
it does with peculiar emphasis to all in the South
ers States who arc by association, directly or in
directly, lending their name, influence and au-
thority to that popular impulse which is fast dri-
wing the people of the United States to the aban-
donment of our non-intervention policy.
Most unfortunately, the Cuban authorities by
their insane restrictions on American vessels are
helping forward the schemes of those in the Uni.
ted States, who wish to revolutionize Cuba. By
subjecting our shipping and citizens who visit
the Island to odious exclusions, they are giving
new momentum to public opinion in favour of
Intervention. These measures may not preci-
pate an invasion ofthe Island at present, but
they will change our present neutral attitude, if
it does not force the Executive to demand pres.
ent redress for insults to the National flag.

Thomas NJ. Foote has been appointed Charg

to Austria. 1t is not often that a political edi
tor is so lucky as he has been. He was four
years ago editor of the Commercial Advertiser
at Buffalo, N. Y. In ls49 he was appointed
Charge to The Republic of New Grenada, from
which post he was recalled at bis own request,
and took charge of the Albany Register in place
of Jerome Fuller, who was appointed Chief Jus
tice of Minnesota. The Senate has rejected tho
nomination Of Mr.. Fuller, and Mr.. Foote is sent
abroad again on another mission. To be taken
from the Editorial chair and sent to represent his
country to foreign Governments twice within
little more than three years, is high proof OF
the distinction with which Mr.. Foote is regarded
at Washington.
