Light in Darkness.

While the people of the South have been
suffering slightly from the scarcity of burning
fluid and the adamantinc candles, mostly made
in Porkdom, we are happy to inform our read
ers and the people of the Confederate States,
that the great desidcratum has been more than
fully supplied, by discovery made by our en-
terprising fcllow-citizcns of this town, Mcssrs
HoCoTT e SUTHERLAND. We are now writing
under its brilliant light, and deem it superior
to gas, fluid or camphcne. The "Trcbcnc
Oil" has been exhibited in the city of Colur,-
bia to the entire satisfaction and delight of
all who witnessed it. possesses the great
properties of chcapncss and freedom from
explosion, when used by careful hands
1t will be seen by reference to the advcr-
ment, in another column that the proprietors
arc prepared to furnish it in quantities to SUIT
purchasers, on application to them 1t is an
other evidence of the indirect benefit of this
Lincoln war. Had not the blockade been in
existence, this enterprise would not have been
thought Of We congratulate our friends in
the successful accomplishment of so useful an
enterprise, and hope it will reward their skill
and benefit the country at large.

The Mercury of yesterday morning brings

grafton then raging in the city, and which, at
the hour Of their going to prcss-6 o'clock in

the city.
The fire originated about 0 o'clock Wcdnes-
day night, in Russell e. Co.'S Sash and Blind
Factory, at the foot of HAZEL street, and cx-
tended over an area of more than fifty squares,
up to o'clock, since which time we have
been unable to obtain any further particulars.
Among the many valuable public buildings
we sec mentioned as having been consumed
is the Circular Church, Institute Hall, Charles

Another Victory in Missouri.

In the Little Rock (Ark) Tiue Democrat
of the 2Sth, we find the following important
intelligence, which is the latest that could be
received here from the Southwestern Missouri,
and which seems to he perfectly reliable.
We learn from Mr. S. B. Bennett. who reach
cd this place yesterday evening" bringing dis
patches from Maj. G. w. Clarke to the Gov
crnment at Richmond that battle has been
fought i'll Southwest Missouri, near the Kansas
linc 10y Gen. Rains with the Fcdcralists, in
which Gen. Rains achieved signal victory.
lie routed the Fcdcralists completely, killing
and wounding about 200, capturing about 200
prisoners, forty wagons loaded with provis-
ions and amunition, and large number of
arms.
Mr. Bennett also informs us, that S. II. Mont
gomcry, long resident of Fort Smith and
brother to capt A. Montgomery, who had
charge of the Fort there when taken 10y the
State, he was among the prisoners captured.
He was quartcrmastcr in the Federal army.
Gen. Sicgcl, Mr.. Bcnnct informs us, was in
full retreat towards lronton or Pocahontas, with
about 5000 men, and Gen. Price was in hot
pursuit, with every confidence of being able
to ovcrtakc and whip him.
The other portion of the federal army had
rctrcatcd towards Rolla.
This is glorious news from Missouri, and
we expect more of it when next we hear from
the gallant Price.

sUBJUGATING A PEOPLE. 2

This is the way some men read his
toryl The Highlanders were dsarmed,
expatriated, and nearly crushed; but were
never subdued except bya policy which
elevated them, aud gave them more even
than their share in the benefts of gov
ernment Ireland was never subjugated
until she was elevated 20 condition of
equality, both in religion and in civil and
municipal rights,to the rest Of the people
of Great Britain. Both Highlanders and
lrishmen were a source of weakness to
Great Britain, SO long as the latter at
tempted to enforce conformity of ins:itu
tions, Hungary and Venitia and Poland
are also sources Of weakness whenever
Russia or Austria attempts to set aside
ancient systems and modes of local gov
ernment, and substitute systems Of con
solidation. ql t-..ra1asa-r.as
England allows idolatrY and polygamy
in her colonies, aud her system in regard
to the most advanced of her dependcn-
cies, is little more stringent than the
loosest federal system, which q states
right theorist ever advocated. She re-
tains the good will Of her remotest sub
jects by largely acknowledging their
right to elf-goyernmentu slnpg yTsv
The case OF the Vendesusi is often cited
TO show that at least rebellious people
may be subiugated. But two millions of
people de6ed the French Republic and
survived it. In one sense they conquered.
They are not yet so subdued but that an
attempt to break up their traditional
rights would shake the throne and endan
ger the person of Napoleon Ill. 70 ini
But is there nota question that should
precede this one, III regard to the practi-
cability of subjugating people? Ofwhat
use hundred years war to force "breeks
on a Highlander" or Professionalism upon
the Irish people, or Austrian rule upon
Venetia? Would not all parties have
been better, would not civilization have
pro6tcd, would not the very end aimed at
have been nearer accomplished, if the at
tempt had never been made?
Mere war may be passing affair. n
war for the assertion of rightful authority
is elmost always successful; but a war to
enforce conformityo institutions, creeds,
and civil or Industrial systems, upon a
people, always fails,--AIbGny Argus. ~

MODERN DISCOVERIES.

Discoveries Of various kinds follow one
another in such rapid succession in our
age, that we often fail to estimate their
extent and grandeur. Bayard Taylor
clusters few Of them together:
"Within the last twenty-five years all
the principle features of the biography
Of our own vast interior regions have
been accurately determined; the great
fields of Central Asia have been traversed
in various directions, from Bokhara and
Oxns to the Chinese wall; the half-known
river system of South America has been
explored and surveyed; the icy continent
around the Southern Pole has been dis
covered; the Northwest passagc--tha,
,gn,s Jata. of nearly two ccnturies--is AT
last found; the Dead Sea is stripped OF
its fabulous tcrrors; the course Of the Nj
ger is no longer myth; the sublime Sc.
cret Of the Nile is almost wrestcd from
its keeping; the Mountains of the Moon,
sought for through two thousand years,
have been beheld by Caucasian eye;
and an English steamer has ascended the
Chabba to the frontiers Of the great
kingdom of Borneo; Lcichardt and Stu
art have penetrated the wilderness oi
Australia; the Russians have descended
from the Irsoutsk to the mouth of the
Amoor; the antiquated walls Of Chinese
prejudice have been cracked and are fast
tumbling down, and the canvass screens
which surround Japan have been cut by
the sharp edge of American enterprise
Such are the principal results Of modern
explorations What quarter Of q century
since the form Of the earth and the
boundaries of its land and water arc
known, can exhibit such list of achieve
ments?" 81. ,..... .......-, ....
