dudlbras, are really much older. They
nre to be found in a book published
in 1856. The same idea is, however
expressed In II couplet published il
1912, while one of the few fragments
OF Menanyler, the Greek writer, that
have been preserved, embodlies the
same idea in single line. The couplet
in Hudibras is:
tsFor those that fly may fight again,
Which he can never do that's slain.

''There' 3 q good time coming" is AL
expression used by Sir Walter Scott
in Rob Roy, and has doubtless for a
long time been u familiar saying in
Scotland. "Earpuu cuIo fu1ncn, scep-

origin of this familiar phrase is not

NORTHERN Account OF AFFAIRS IN
South CAROLINA The New York
Herald learns from its Charleston cor
respondent that very little attention
has been paid bv the army officers to
the demands Of Governor Pelrv's civil
appolntecs for q surrender to them OF
superior control in the administration
of affairs, and the Palmetto State still
remains uuder military rule. There
has been no actual collision, but con-
siderable disagreement and lack of CO.
operation between the civil and mill
tary Authorities. Gen. Gilmore. who
recently returned to Charleston from
his tour through the interior and con-
ference with Gov. Perry, is rc};rescnt-
Ell as stating that. the military will
MAINTAIN direction of affairs until the
regular State Government is organic
ed Some progress has been made
towards the election of delegates to
the Constitutional Convention.
The same correspondent. goes on to
say: 1t is wrong to suppose, as al
legged Gy some letter writer's, that there
is ut the South general feeling of
hostility towards the blacks. They
may act III such Il manner as to create
such q feeling; but ut present it does
not exist. We know that there is an
earnest desire for their welfare, and !.
sincere regret that they are not educa-
tlonally and mentally prepared for tho
freedom so suddenly thrust upon
them. AS it is, liberty with them too
oftens runs into RIGHTEOUSNESS; and we
are certain that i'll the nphcavings of
our social fabric, under the transitions
of the past few months, the white
race has thus far been the chief snf-
fercr, but has nobly and without IL
stood the shock, and done its
full duty kindly and faithfully to those
so long accustomed to its care"
