The Cholera. @ .>-. -1s .-,...ss
The Last weeks official report of the
deaths in New York city, gives six as the

We are advised that Professor Venable,
formerly Of the S. g. College, is preparing
a series in Mathematics, beginning with
elementary Arithmetic and going up to the
highest grades taught in our frst-class col.
leges. Prof Venable is universally known
to be eminently capable of such task 1t
is time for the South to get some sort Of
independence. .-, ....., ''...'' '..,..' W

The Arrests. .............l..;..-.-.
Last week we mentioned the outrageous
re earrest Of Mr.. Eagan Of Lexington Dis
trict, who had been released from the Al
bany Penitentiary by order Of Judge Mel
son, of the Supreme Court.
We take pleasure this week in noting the
fact that he has been again released, this
time by order of President johnson. 1t is
to be hoped that his case is settled /; and
that the farce of liberty and despotism will
be played no farther. -. ~ '~s, .' ~
The News this Week. =. -.
Never in one week have we had thrust
upon our attention three more important
items than come into this week. 49,.
First, the European War = =.
Second, the certain and officially reported
presence of Cholera in the United States.
Third, the immense advance in the price
of gold-its running up to the neighborhuod
of fifty per cent premium in short time.
As to the War, We are moved by very
profound Indifference upon the whole mat
ter
AS to the Cholera, we have reasonable
hopes that it will never reach our rural re.
treats here in the up, country Of South Caro-.

As to gold, it might go up to q million

its want of energy with its train Of lost op.

To despond is criminal. 1t is criminal
in its want of reliance on Providence-in
its doubt of the truth of God, ,.-,.r.,,
Whoever desponds, of life in general, de,

Whoever in this sense desponds, in effect,
says to God: You made FOOLS experiment
in putting me here in life, and have failed;

Whoever says life Is little worth, differs
from the God who thinks life of sufficient
worth to warrant Him in putting the indi-
vidual in it. III. t.4ras.,.
To despond in this sense is to fling life
with its duties and promises back into the
face Of the Giver of all, and to say: Lo,

European War. .... gH=z.aas
War seems to be inevitable. 1t grows
out of the old quarrel about the Duchies-
the old Prussia-and- Denmark difficulty.
1t promises to be big thing. ! at'
On one side, at first, will probably be
Austria backed by Russia, and on the 9th:
er side Prussia backed by Italy. Each
party can throw about three: hundred.thou.
sand men into the field; and 100000 men
can do some ugly work, when they are
thrown together in this way. . yfsL2l
Already new names are being spoken of
as famous. General Fliess has the distinc.
ton of commanding the FIRST Prussian
troops upon the theatre and General Won
Gah!enz is his .Austri, opponent.
We hope the? will have good time
generally. ... .. .. ...
One thing we presume is a necessary
consequence of this war the withdrawal of
Maximiian from Mexico. a.. -i. -...'
England no doubt will keep out of it
She has a way of keeping out or wars of

France doubtless will be in it, as soon as
it will pay.
Bismark, the Prussian diplomat, has
made himself so utterly odious in France,
that he has passed into a new word. Bis.
