The Charleston Courier announces
the death of Hon. J. Bond ron. In speak
ing of his public services, the Courier says ;
"Copspicuous among his varied services to
the State, was his legislative career. For
many years he was President Of our State
Senate, and the manner in which he dis
charged his duties therein, has left model
for presiding officer, and a striking Illus
tration of true conception of representative
obligations. He was member of the Con-
vention, which, in 1882, put the State upon
her Sovereignty, and passed the ordinance
of Notification"
The English Baptists have addressed
to their brethren in America protest a.
gainst slavery. The English Baptists are
very good sort of people, and quite right in
thinking that freedom is better than slavery;
but this is one of the questions that they
really know very little about, and the less
they say about it the better it will undoubt-
edly be. 1t will take this generation of Eng
lish Baptists, aud of all other Englishmen,
to reduce their own social evils to such mod
Grafton as will justify them in speaking 9th
erwise than very tenderly y of ours.:-Proci-

What devil of a giant Wendell
Phillips is He threatens to stake the State
of Mississippi by the ,nape of its neck, and
shake every decrepid white man out of it,
and give it into the hands of the slave that
now tills it, and make America to represent
the ideal to which our fathers -consecrated
it." Edmond Quincy is "some pumpins"
too-he hopes "to live to see the time-and
that too, without living to be an octogena-
rian, like his fathcr-vhen, if United
States Judge dares to disobey the law of
Massachusetts, he will be taken from the
bench and set to honest work in the peniten-
tiary, and the United States defed to take
him out "-Boston Post.
An eminent French statistician states
that the land and naval forces of the Euro.
peau armies number 100000 sound, pick
ed men, in the prime of their productive
strength. The annual outlay required to
keep up their armies and the material of war
is over s400, 900, 900, not including the val
ne of land or buildings occupied by fortifca-
tions, arseuals, hospitals, fouudries, schools,
&c., moderately estimated at So 100000, on
which, at four per cent. interest, the yearly
expense is more than s150,000,O00 To
this add the value of the labor which these
men would productivity perform, which a.
mounts to more than sl56, 100000, and we
have an annual war expense paid by Euro
pean producers of nearly $500, 100000.
- At the battle of Salferino, the spec
tacle was presented, very unusual in our
times, of two Emperors commanding their
respective armies and directing in person
their operations. But not only was this pc
culiarly exhibited, but they we're surrounded
by all the distinguished military talent of
their different empires. This was more par
ticularly the case with the Austrian Empe-
ror. Besides the Field Marshal, Hess, the
young Emperor was supported in this his
first real ordeal of battle by Marshal Count
Wiwpfen, commanding the first corps d'ar-
NEE; by his uncle, the Archduke Albert,
ex-governor general of Hungary; by the gen.
eral of cavalry, Count Schlick; the success
sor of the disgraced Gyulai; by Zebel and
Stadion, and Benedek; by the Prince de
Lichtenstein and the Baron Reischach.
Among the many lighter passages Of
the war with which the Parisians amuse
themselves, We find in the Sport the story
of the capture of a detachment of Austriaps,
who were taken prisoners by the engineer
of the railway. 1t appears that the Austri-
ans we're en- route for Peschiera to reinforce
General Urban, when the engineer, whose
sympathies were naturally on the Italian
side, ''switched of" and conveyed the Teu-
tonic heroes into the middle of the allied
camp. Here they were politely escorted from
the railway carriages by the French soldiers,
who, with that aniable polteness for which
the nation is distinguished, saluted their
enemies with 'All those who are going to
France will please change cars" The feel
