TIE UNUSUAL CELEBRATIoH.-[n the year
1922 there was q commemoration of a day
that we believe has not been thus honored in
our State or in others, although highly dcser-
wing. We allude to the 10th of September
the anniversary of ferry's great victory on
Lake Erie. In that year the event was com.
mcmoratcd by the students Of the Ebenezer
Academy in York district with much enthusi-
asm and with the aid Of scenic apparatus and
views. The address, we are informed by o
news paper record of the affair, was delivered
by Thomas J. Wcthers, student"-the ora
tor will be readily recognised as our present
Judge Wethers, although he may scarcely rec
ognise the name in that mode of spelling COM
mon usage having changed it into Withers, un-
til we believe he has given up the question HIM
self, or at least writes it so, that it may he
read both ways, which is not unusual with the
profession Charleston. Courier.

CONSUL GENERAL De LEON AND THE GREEKS.
The Athens Penhellenion speaks in the highest
terms of Mr.. De Leon's efforts for the amelio.
ration of the Greeks in Egypt. 1t says:
Mr., Edwin De Leon, consul general for the
United States Of America, touched by the sight
of the suferings and the prosecutions of which
the Greeks were the victims, fastened, of his
own accord, and without orders from his gov
crnmcnt, to address an appeal to Abbas Pasha,
by which he invoked the government, not only
to be more merciful and more just towards the
Greeks, but by touching the amour propie of
the Pasha at the same time, to secure for them
the privilege Of remaining in Egypt. We'll
worthy: indeed, of the great American republic
arc the sentiments and the language Of this
appeal

Idolatrv in China has been put under ban by

Idolatry in China has been put under ban by
the Iusurgent General at Shanghae, who has
issued several proclamations, showing, by very
ingenious reasoning, based upon the teachings
of the Bible, the impiety of !he custom. The
Shaughae Herald, of May goth, in referring to
these documents, remarks:
"Dntil very recently the rebels were as much
addicted to the worship of idols as the rest of
their countrymen, but numbers OF the Canton
and Fokien men amongst them seem now in
word and deed to abjure the whole SYSTEM
On one occasion this week several were OBJ
served carrying the idols in buckets, without
the least ceremony whatever, while Others
around spoke of them with the utmost indf-
ference and contempt. They have not inter-
fercd with those in the public temples, but in
the meantime leave it with the people 10 de
clare whether they shall allow them to remain
there or not"

DEFEAT OF Coz. BENTON. man

DEFEAT OF Col. BENroN.-Probablyn yno man
has ever fallen from lofty eminence with few
er to lament his humiliation than Col. Benton.
Had he been defeated two years ago, when,
after being turned out of the United States
Senate, he appealed to the people and with
such heroic determination confronted his foes,
many admiring his daring no less than his i'll
tellect, would have regretted the result, and
been saddened by the catastrophe. Few things
indeed are more mournful than the fall Of hu-
man greatness. Tie names of Hannibal and
Napoleon doubtless awaken deeper interest
than if neither had been eventually vanquished.
When then Benton after a career of thirty
years of distinguished service in the United
States Senate, being disgraced by virtual
vote of censure from his constituents tbsmem-
bers of the Missouri Legislature, sappealed to
the people in defence of his hsiior, who could
altogether refuse to sympathise with him9-
Not ourselves, we confess. And though there
was much in his history to condemn, and little
in his character to admire, we yet reioiced at
his triumph. But his victory two years since
has turned out to be altogether barren. His
career in the House Of Representatives has

Having made war upon the administration,
the Democratic party regard his defeat as that
of an opponent. As to the Wings, any regret
that they might feel at the disastrous fate of
one who neuer performed single act of gra-
cousness or courtesy towards them," is lost in
the qualification which they feel at the triumph
of member of their own party. None la
ment his political death but the freesoilers and
aboitionists--men whose praises are little bet

MADE A SLIGHT M1sTAKE.-It would seem
from the following that Sir Charles Napier has
made slight mistake:
"Admiral Napier writes home to the British
government that attacking Constradt or Swea
borg would be certain destruction. Admiral
Shad says: "Alter Two days inspection from
the lighthouse, and full views Of the fort ships,
