George D. Prentice.

short time ago we saw paragraph which
is going the rounds Of the newspapers, giving
this gentleman, who is the gifted and accom-
pished editor of the Louisville Journal, any
thing but a fattering, passing notice. We
deeply regret that such is the case, and that
necessity or the cause of truth, should require
such q severe castigation as the Cleveland Plain
Dealer has deemed proper to give Mr.. Prem
tice.
His political apostacies, although 10 be re-
GREETED, ought not to be set down against him
as unpal donable sins, for if we apply the same
test TO all pulilical characters, how few would
be able to pass through the ordeal unscathed.
Mr. Prentice may be an "unprincipled aud un.
scrupulous politician" if he is, we are sorry to
hear it, and worse than all, to see it SO boldly
announced that his "personaf honor is under
par, and he himself the subject Of popular in
dgnation by all parties. and the people gener-
ally of Louisville and throughout Kentucky"
No man who is able, and who has, written
such poetry as George D. Prentice, ought ever
to be "under the ban Of popular indignation"
Justly. His Poem, "Liues written at my moth
er's Grave" is one of the most deeply t"uching
productions which we have ever read, and it
seems 10 no man who could breathe such SEN.
liments. would ever lose sight Of his obligations
to preserve at all hazards, at least, his 'per.
Sonal honor and respect"
We haze great admiration for genius wher-
ever it is found, and when our feelings have
been Iavorably enlisted, we must experience
some disappointment at least, il The Object of
our regard prnves unworthy. Mr.. Prentice
may be an injured man, we hope that ssch is
the case, for there is sune truth, and unfnrtu.
nately, too much in the old axiom that, one.
half of The world takes pleasure in detraclIng,
and the other in believing all that dctraction
ulters.. We do not however, by this, mean to
adopt in full this severe comment upon human
nature. We have not yet, reasons for bcliev.
ing that man is the unchrslan being which we
have heard some try to make him; there are
exceptions to all general rules, and in this, the
exception is manifest.

Young Carolina at West Point.

In notice OF the cavalry exercises at West
Point, at the late semi.unnual examination, a
correspondent of the New York Herald says :
"Pre eminent among the best riders in this
class is Cadet Lee, of South Carolina. He
rode spirited animal, and was ever foremost
in The charge. Cadet VlIepigue, Of S. Caro-
lins, is also fine rider, and led the last charge
that was made. Cadets Lee and Rogers, of
Virginia, Randall, of Texas, Davant, of South
Carolina, Pender, of North Carolina, Wright,
of N. York, and Mullins, IF Mississippi, were
among the fine riders that We noticed conspic-
uous III the drill. The squadron was in con.
stant motion before the board for full hour and
half, and yet seemed to experience but little
fatigue at the close of the exercises from the
v"lent drill which they had Undergone"

to be the case with every paper which undertakes to
advertise for little or nothing, merely 10 get the rn

that sort ofhope deferred which maketh not only the
heart sick, but the pocket very light.
If the Press of the State is only intended to give

blessings without money and without price.
In our judgment it is time the press Of South Caro-
lima should learn some practical lessons which we fear
nothing but bitter experience will ever teach.
We hope the proposed meeting at Newberry for
consulting upon this subject was held, and that good
may result from it, For one, we have long since de-
