AT thegreat fire in Mayaguez, Porto
Rico, on the Goth of May last, the crew
of the United States steamer Biear4le
assisted very materially in extInguishing
the flames, aud of course the inhabitants
were very grateful for the assistance,
and piled upon the weary soldiers re-
freshments Of all kinds Liquor was
plentiful and one of the crew, a native
Of the Emerald Isle, became so help
lessly intoxicated as to be taken to the
landing in a wheel-barrow. On the
way down the jolting of the "machine'
partiallyaroused him, when he inquired ::
"What is the matter, and where are

Avoid Them.

A correspondent of the N. C
Presbyterian calls attention to
the fact, that some Of the school
books published at the North,
and brought to the South forsalc
contain offensive and insulting
chapters in regard to the late war,
besides being false and unfair.
IF We have been subjugated,
it is right that we should contend
for the truth Of history; and we
hope southern school teachers
will be cautious about what sort
Of books they introduce into
their schools. If a teacher per-
sist in using such offensive books
let all honorable southern men
refuse to patronise him or her.

The Last Volley.

Colonel John S. Mosby visited
Leesburg last Monday, on pro-
fessional business. Because he
happened to wear a cape in these
piping times of peace which had
on it several bross buttons with
tie coat of arms Of Massachu-
setts on them, the Federal cap
tain in command there declared
his purpose to arrest him and cut
them of. Being unwilling to
submit to this treatment, but
disposed to do anything in rca-
son to avoid a breach Of the
peace, the Colonel, at the sug-
gcstion Of u friend, consented to
leave the burg. The captain,
with four troopers and sixty in
fantry, cndeavored to intercept
his retreat, but was too late by
several moments to effect his
object. When the Colonel rode
upon the crest of a hill, he look
cd back and saw the doughty
warrioas make q furious bayonet
charge upon a haystack which
had served to conceal him from
their view when he made his exit.
The spectacle was so ludicrous
he could not repress in inclina-
ton to whoop., He did so, and,
at the same time, raising his hat,
he waived a parting adieu. The
irate captain acknowledged the
compliment by ordering IL lcaden
volley from sixty guns to be
fired at the Colonel. The bullets
whistled closely but harmlessly
past him, and made music which
reminded him of by-gone years
of strife.
We believe the Massachusetts,
button is the symbol of treason,
and are somewhat surprised that
the Colonel was so disloyal as to
retain one on his cape at the risk
Of liberty and life.

The War in South Amer
lea.

The latest intelligence received from
South America represents stntc Of
quiet prevailing since the lombard
mont Of Valparaiso. Itis doubtful if
the spanish Admiral will venture to
carry out the programme Of lombard
ing cities on the Gillian coast. The
Valparaiso affair hds reflected SO little
credit on tho Spanish Government that
it would be surprising if she should
again hazard her reputation by COM
1nittins similar acts. Thus far the war
has been barren of any decided results.
Spain is under great expense in main
tanning a blockading fleet, which after
all is only partially effective, and Chill
and Peru are suffering from the loss Of
commerce. Possibly On attempt will
soon be made to bring about q peacea-
BILE state Of affairs. All parties concern
ed have shown satisfactory proofs Of
their heroism, and we believe most ma
tons will agree that their honor has
been amply vindicated.

Successful Editor.

An English writer says what is very
true, that "a good editor, a competent
newspaper conductor, is like a general
OF q poet, born, not made. Exercise
and cxpcriciicc give facility, but the
qualification is inmate, or it is never
manifested. On the London daily pa
pcrs all the great llistorians, norelists,
poets, cssayists, and the writer's Of tra-
vcls, Lave bccn tried, and nearly every
ono failed. 4 can,' said the late
editor Of tho London Times, find any
number of lncn Of genius to write for
me, but very seldom ono man Of com-
mon sense Nearly all successful ed
itors arc OF this description. A good
editor seldom writes much for his paper
-ho reads, Judges, selects, dictates,
alters and combines, and to do all this
we'll he has but little time for compost
ton. To writc for q paper is one thing
to edit a paper another" -

The Memphis Ava1anche, in speaking
of tho constant Northern denunciation
of Mr.. Calhoun, says thus forcibly:
"Alalico forever dogs the heels Of
greatness, and, cal,mny is its shadow.
We arc not, therefore, surprised to see
party ghouls and hyenas bowling over
the grave of John e. Calhoun-a man
who has made such grand chapter
for history. Mr.. Calhoun wasthe COM
peer of Clay and Webster. His pri-
vate character was spotless; and whilo
the names Of Clay and Webster are
cherished as the brightest stars III the
galaxy Of fame, it is singular that a
continual stream of abuse, falsehood
and d:malignity should be vomited upon
the noblest, loftiest, greatest son the
nation has ever produced. We intend
to Vndicate the memory Of this Illus
trious statesman, whether the assault
comes from Northern radicals or from
miscreants Of the South, vile enough
to echo every word Of abuse, no matter
how stupid and foul, every lie, no tnat-
ter how potent in nalignity."

The Burning; Of Co.uul
b!a.

Tile scenes which occurred in the
Senate Of the United States, upon tbc
recent presentation to that U6dy by tile
Hon. .Reverdy Johnson, Of Maryland,
of the letter of Gen. Wade Hampton,
in reference to tile burning of Colun.-
bia by Gen Sherman, and the attempt
cd refutation Of the ,:charges preferred
in thy letter against Gen. Sherman,
have aroused the citizens OF our Capt..
tal to the Importance Of placing on rc-
cord, in public manner, the facts con-
nected with that transaction and the
proofs which can bo offered to stbseall,;
tlat@ the letter of Gen. Hampton. In
furtherance of this purpose, public
meeting will be held in that city to-day:
and the local papers have urged that
all business be suspended, and o gen-
eral attendance Of citizens take place.
In urging the necessity for such pro-
oedure, and after brief recitation Of
the evidence which can be produced
Cor the purposes aforesaid, tho Colum-
bia LarOliaia' adds:
"We have been denied a hearing bv
Congress, but we have the great people
for tribunal, and to them we now ap-
peal. The issue is made not by us.
We stand upon the defensive. Let us
do our duty, tell the full story of -Ojuir
wrongs, brand their author with the
infamy he deserves, and history will do
the rest in illustrating our sl1ferings
and perpetuatiug the memory Of one
who, whatever may be his merits as a
soldier, has lost all claim to the title Of
u man"

correspondent at New Orleans
who is not in love with the Bu-

for, instead of being a safeguard
or protection for the freedmen, it
is only a place in which freed
