DAILY CRESCENT,
TUESDAY MORNING. AueUsT Is. 1864



Sour GRAPES ~ VERY. = The change which
has lately taken place in the opinions Of the
English press concerning the Importance of the
Austrian and Prussian alliance, in the existing
Eastern difficulties, is singular enough to excite
smile, even if it should not bring to memory
that one Of Esop's fables which speaks Of foxes
and sour grapes, Three months ago words we're
hardly sufficient to express the favorable feel
ings entertained by England for Austria and
Prussia, or to tell the immense influence
these two Kingdoms would exert on the condi-
tion and councils of Russia. Their greatness
was largely talked Of, and the occupation Of
the Principalities by the Austrian army was
prophesied as D close Of the war. 1t has since
been learned that Austria refuses to invade the
Principalities, and that Prussia refuses to at
tack the Gar. On learning this important
news the English press suddenly comprehended
that Austria was without power, and Prussia
wholly destitute Of influence! How rapid and
how singular! Those who we're valuable friends
yesterday are discovered to be worthless aces
series to-day.

Rfrent Qualifications,


We are indebted to the Hon Mr. Benjamin,
of this parish, for copy of the ''statistics Of
the United States" comprising the Census Re-
ports Of 1850 The volume is Of considerable size
and considerable Importance, and was edited by
our townsman, J. D. B. De Bow. The statistics
are very full and complete, and will be not only
of present but future value. We shall refer to
it hereafter at greater length.
ssThe Southern Episcopalian,'' for August,
has come to hand. 1t is published at Charles
ton, S. G.
We have received the Thirty seventh An
nuaI Report of the American Colonization So
cety, together with the various addresses
delivered at their annual meeting in January -
We are under obligations to Hon. Mr.. Penn
for copy of the s'Report of the Committee OF
the Board of Regents Of the Smithsonian Insti-
tute." Our own opinion on this matter was
expressed some days since. The report of Mr..
Meacham, and subsequently that of the ma
jority Of the Committee, has convinced us that
both Committees and Regents deserve to be
kicked out Of office, and some new plan devised
whereby wo-thirds Of the fund should not be
eaten up by three and four thousand dollar
salaries. A reform is needed in the manage
ment of the Institute, as both reports conclu-
sively prove.
We have received s' Circular from the Cleve-
land (Ohio) Female Seminary" dated April,
1854, asking for and soliciting more pupils
We sincerely hope that the Cleveland (Ohio)
Female Seminary may get many more pupils
and mach more profit.

for the week-a little more than one in a

A years of age. We notice two deaths from
yellow fever. They require an explanation.
One of them arrived here a few days since on q
bark from Matanzas, and was taken sick on
board the vessel. The other assisted in dis
charging the same vessel, so there is no cause
for alarm, as the disease is not local.

The remains of the lamented Dr. Baily Wash
ington, near relative of the immortal Wash.
ington, were buried in Washington city, with APP
propriate honors, on Saturday the 9Th inst The
deceased was senior surgeon in the United
States Navy, and served with great efficiency
during the late war with England. He was a
brother of Colonel Washington, who was lost on
board the Inflated steamer San Francisco. The
deceased was descendant Of Lawrence Wash
ton, the brother of John Washington, who was
the immediate ancestor of George Washington.
These are the two original Washingtons, who
alone of the extensive English family Of that
name emigrated to America. John came over
about the year 1865; say two hundred years
ago. Colonel Peter g. Washington, now Assis-
tant Secretary of the Treasury, is also one of
the descendants Of Lawrence, rather than
John, the ancestor of General Washington.
