Editorials Scarce.

Lack of editorial about these times, must be attribu
ted solely to the scarcity Of material in the vicinity
which can be worked up into matter Our lmaglna
ton has been taxed to its utmost capacity and we find
ourselves after severe examination, where we star
ted, nothing to write about! Writing editorials, even
under the most disadvanageous circumstances, IS oy
no means the greatest difficulty which publishing Ea
tors have to meet with The monotonous round OF dr
ties required of publishing man, are enough ordlna
ry to turn the longest head upside down. There are
thousand little things TO attend to; and wehavc come
to the conclusion that writing editor whose duty is
merely to patch up paragraph or two, is quite dit
feren animal from one who is obliged TO write andrakc
up the dimes also Printers could do very we'll if they
could live pi all the while; but they must have
something else, for the best appetite will fail sometimes
ifkept too long on one dish.
Our vocation is somewhat similar to that of class
of worthy men in the community who are expected TO
labor day and night for the good of Others and yet re-
ceyc but little of the good things of this ie which are
to be procured only by the root of all evil Certainly
the laIorer is worthy oc his hire There is this about
our business, we have some who are always up to
the day; such we denominate almanac people. We
always know where to find them to those persons we
feel much obliged for their promptude in settling; to
them we shall ever look with confidence and pleasure
knowing that so far they are concerned our money
is always ready We much obliged to our friends
for their liberal patronage which we have received,
and shall take pleasure in executing all iavors IN our
line
With the New Year, We desire to commence a "e''
suse. which will bc found to work better than the old
match and wait policy We want to pay as we 60, and
in order to do this we must insist upon all settling IN
advance for their paper. This, we hope will be the
last time at least for tmc that we shall be under
the dsagrccable necessity of troubling our friends with
our grievances Our terms will be published in the
course of few weeks by which shall be governed

Coal Stoves.

As many of our citizens have determined to use coal
for fuel the present winter the following hints from the
Ohio Statesman relative to tho management OF stove
NAV prove scrvccablc to those unaccusomcd to their
use
'The fire should not be permitted to die out during
the winter By keeping the fire up, an immensely OF
trouble is saved and paradoxca as it may seem 1t Is
cheaper. The reason is this The coal burns out dur
ing the long nights because the door OF the stove Is
shut whereas, the door is left oper it will not burn
out, and will be perfectly alive in the morning
"Lcss coal is therefore consumed. There is no dam
ger in leaving the door open as the draft is always
strong enough to carry the sparks up the pipe or CHM

converse ntcligenty on the various interesting
topic, Of the day; while in the other family it
is ;l;rtlly known who is governor Of the State or
representative of the county. Such grolelljng
stupidity can furnish no adequate apology for
itself; and We fear is not to be discomposed hy
argument or repro1f.
The delightful employment of reading ought
to be encouraged in children. and as newspapers
are more attractive to the young than any other
description of reading, parents should supply
this aiiment Of the mind without stint. 1t is
poor economy to decline to take paper because
it will cost dollar or so to partor It. ). Retreneh

CASH SYsrEM-The following papers have
announced their determination to adopt the cash
system The SouM Carolinian Family Friend,
Camden Journal, Laurensville Herald, and Fair
field Herald. This, we think, is a wise and pro-
per determination. 1t will be better for the SUBJ
scrber and infinitely so for the editor. No class
of men suffer so much by the credit system as
editors. 1t is a very strange fact that many,
even honest men, never feel the obligation res,
ting on them to pay for their paper. They are
at least disposed to consult theirown convenience,
rather than the necessities of the Editor. And
the fact that Editors are generally a torbcaring,
tcndcr-heartcd sort of men, is no doubt partly
the reason they are shamcfully treated in this re-
spcct. This connected with the great difficulty
Of collecting one and two dollar accounts by law,
renders it necessary for those Editors who are
disposed to have what rightly belongs to them,
to require the pay in advance, to adopt the cash
system. This, we think, might very properly be
one of the subjects for consideration in the ap-
preaching Editorial Convention.

The n. Y. Express, has been informed by its
special Washington correspondent that there is
great activity in the Navy Departments, and
that about every vessel capable of being put in
commission will, as early as practicable, be ordered
to sea. The Japan Expedition will get away in
November, and Commodore McAuley will re-
main in the Pacific until all things are made
quiet there. Intelligence has reached Washing
ton that large number of vessels chartered for
loading with guano at the Lobos Islands, and
now on their way there, are in danger Of being
seized or arrested in business which has hitherto
been regarded as legitimate and regular.
1t is believed, continues the EIpress that the
Administration, in the order Of August last, in
tended but to suspend fora time the protection
which had been pledged to the American gu'I O
fleet Of vessels, so many of which have been
chartered in the Atlantic and Pacific ports.
The Raritan will remain in the ncighborhood n
the Lobos Islands, and if necessary, the Japal
feet will stop there on the way out.

SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF CHoLERA.-Now
that the cholera is so rapidly extending over the
continent of Europe, every fact connected with
successful modes of its treatment is extremely
valuable. In Germany and Austria the hot-air
bath has been called into requistion by some
eminent medical gentlemen when patients have
become too weak for the administration Of med-
cine internally, and in the majority of cases
where this has been done it appears, according
to the accounts published in the German news
papers, that speedy recovery has followed, even
notwithstanding symptoms of the worst charac-
ter had presented themselves, and threatened a
fatal termination. Of course the air is previous
ly impregnated with medicinal properties of suf-
fcient strength to act powerfully on the system.
There is, unfortunately, great dislike amongst
medical practitioners i'll this country to travel
out of the old beaten track, even though new
modes of treatment arc proved to be both cfi-
cacious, and, in skilful hands, free from danger;
but it is to be hoped that the above simple plan
will not be lost sight Of if this frightful disease
should once more dcvastate our population. Al
ready the hot-air bath has been successfully
brought into rcquistion by DR.. Green, Of Lon
don, but at present he seems to be the only in
dvidual connected with his profession in the me-
tropolis who practically advocates the system.
The Germans, perhaps claim the merit of the
discovery, but the young surgeon of an English
vessel sailing to Calcutta and Java rs long ago
as 1880 cured several sailors and passengers, as
well as the captain and himself by hot baths
and friction but he died about twelve months
AFTER before he had an opportunity of making
known the wonderful and potent effect of this
valuable agency.-London Sun, 18th ut

Judge Sharkey, U. s. Consul at Havana, has
been, says the New-Orleans Picayune, for some
weeks at his plantation in Mississippi When
he left Cuba for flying visit home, there were
no symptoms OF any movement BY the authorl-
ties which would call for any extraordinary
interposition on his part. The Picayune learns
from a gentleman who was present when the
Judge received the first news Of the late occur
rences, that he instantly determined to get rca-
dy to return to his post, and may be expected
to take passage Oh the earliest steamer for Ha-

TAKE A NEwspApER-It may be laid down
an incontrovertible proposition that every fami-
ly ought to take newspaper. The price paid
for it will be money well spent Unfortunate
indeed, must be the man who cannot give l-2
cents week, postage included, to know what is
going on in the world: but still more unfortunate
is he who cares not to know. In the family
where a good newspaper is taken, the man of
observation will at once discover degree of in
telligcnce which is not to be found where one is
not taken. The contrast between two such fami-
lies is most striking. In the first case there is a
spirit of enquiry, seeking after information,
produced by the paper, which it cannot entirely
satisfy. Books are sought and read and in
time the members of this family become we'll ac-
ouainted with men and things, and are able to

EMIGRATION FROM lRELAND-DUBLIN, THURS
DAY MoRNIxG-The emigration is daily increa-
sine in magnitude. Here We have no very ac
curate returns of the number quitting the coun-
try, but the steady augmentation is apparent in
all directions. Persons belonging to the constabu-
larv force, have been for some time employed, by
direction of the Government, i'll attending at the
various Irish ports to make returns Of emigrants
but difficulties are often experienced from the
haste and confusion at cmbarkation, and some
times information is not free ly given.
These returns are intended for the next COM
pilaton of the iccennal CENSUS and although
they must necessarily be imperfect, they are, per-
hay,s, the only available mode Of estimating the
actual extent Ct the emigration from this portion
of the United Kingdom. Besides the sailing
vessels that proceed direct from Dublin to Amcr-
ca with emigrants, large numbers leave every
day by the steamers for Liverpool, to take their
passage at that1>ort. a very unusual occurrence
took place on Monday evening. After the de-
parture of the Dublin steamers for Liverpool,
each with its quota Of cmigrants, not less than
32l persons left kingstown in the Iron Duke
steamer for that port, to take shipping for New
Orleans. The Limerick Chronicle states that
several shopkeepers in that city are giving up
business, with the view of cmigrating to Austria
liza some arc selling off stock at first COST and
their furniture by auction"

ARREST OF A MuEDERER.-The Savannah Cou-

len IIutchings, charged with the murder, some
time since, Of Vim. n. Tippcn, of Anderson Dis
trict, South Carolina. Said llutchings is a man
Of twenty odd years DID, six feet high, light hair
blue, eyes, stoop shoudcred, converses freely, and
is quite good looking. He seems to be an old
offender; as this is the second time he has fled
from justice in Carolpa.
He had stolen negro man in Darien belong
ING to Mr.. Dennis, and was bringing him to this
city. While on the boat he sold the boy to a
gentleman by the name ofONeal, of Augusta,
for $95O-Capt. Freeland suspccting that all was
not right, put O'Ncal on his guard. Upon ques-
toning the negro, he acknowledged that he had
been dccoyed away from his master, while in a
state of intoxication. IIutchngs on being ac-
cuscd, did not confess, but agreed to refund the
money. Upon the arrival at the wharf Capt
Frceland sent for an officer and Mr.. Prcndcrgast
being near, recognised the offender as the party
for whom he held a rcquisition from the Gov
crnor of South Carolina. He accordingly ares
ted him under the requisition, and lodged him
safely in Jail, whence he will be taken to Ander-
son District. 1t is hoped that there is hemp
enough in our sister State to keep Mr.. Hutch
ngs from becoming charge to the people of
