APPEAL FOR SoHooLs.-Wc publish with
great pleasure the following appeal from
Miss Al. A. Buie, with reference to the es-
tablishment of school or schools for the
education Of the children of deceased Con,
federate soldiers. 1t is source Of cratifi-
cation to know that subscriptions are COM
ing in quite freely, and in sums sufficient
to warrant Miss B. in asserting that the

been appointed in different sections Of the

buttons can bo forwarded to D. L. Mckay,
Esq, President National Bank, Charleston.
Or either of the local agents
The stability, prosperity, moral tone and
glory Of all countries depend upon the edu-
cation of the young. Education and re-
ligion are the main-springs Of society.
What would be the state of society in few
years, II every person South should become
perfectly indifferent and take no part in
public enterprise, and encourage no one
that does? All who intend to call the
United States their country, should endea-
vor to build up the ruined and desOlated
South and make the rising generation use
full and respectable. Let as remember
IuGU DN patience, IOTLlLuQ6 ana enCur anCe.
we may remove every obstacle in the way
of the education of the rising generation
/ do not despair. Columbus was success
full, after struggling with poverty and
taunted by the wise men of his own coun-
try as an enthusiast. After nine years oftoil
and perseverance, he found Ferdinand and
Isabella. Had he been crushed by the
want of discernment in the wise heads of
his country and his hopes have sunk, VIC
would not have heard Of him but some
one else would have discovered the land
We love. The proposed school for the
young will be erected on a grand scale
for the most sanguine never supposed that
the project would be as successful as it is
already. We fail in nothing, if determined
to succeed. Let the whole State unite and
raise subscriptions. Send the donations
to ID. j.. Mckay, Esq, President of the Ma
tlonal Bank of Charleston, who has been
appointed by the Governor to receive the
funds. Who will regret the mite they give,
or the interest they take in such an enter
prise? Respectfully, NJ 4. b.

A HOME ESTIMATE OF CHICAGO.

The Chicago Post (Radical) talks thus
Ifany living, rational, reasoning creature
is a disbeliever in total depravity of "a man,
a six months residence in Chicago, will cure
him of the infatuation. Few cities on this
continent Of America are infested by race
gilmore unmitigated villains. Murder, rapine,
outrage and every other offenRin the cata-
logue of crime are daily perpetrated. The
swift vengeance of the law, which is almost
sure to follow, seems not to deter the wretches
from pursuing the objects of their malice,
cupidity or passion. Virtue is made the
sport of every designing Lothario, and,
boldly entering the precincts of the dOmes-
tic circle, they snatch their victims from
homes of happiness and virtue, and consign
them to disgrace and infamy.
Considering the daily warnings the virtu-
Gus are given, we should think it was nearly
time this Misunderstanding" business had
come to an end in Chicago

Referring to an experiment witnessed near
Memphis witha newly invented cotton pick

'The machine is Of simple construction

WHO PAYS-

The newspapers recently recorded the fact
that a Massachusetts manufacturing compa-
ny has Just declared dividend Of one hun
dred per cent. on a years profits, after re-
serving surplus enough to enlarge and i'm
prove their mill. Another important fact,
bearing upon this point, is the announce
ment of a wooden manufacturer in the same
State, that before the war it cost him So 80
to make a yard Of cloth which he sold for
81, and that now he sells at So per yard
--i-' ,.,ls- ---'-' him 81 10 nrnduce. These
manufacturers make goods for the million,
and their enormous profits account, in some
measure, for the present extraordinary high
price Of the fabrics used by the masses. In
the face of this state Of things, the Radicals
Of New England are loudly clamoring for
more protection, and want 4 higher tariff
solely rs a means Of increasing their profits.
The wants and necessities of the poorer
classes are unheeded by these cormorants
and the actual cost Of living is advanced TO
a standard which calls for immediate re-
form.-Phiiaddphia Age.
The only practical reform the South can
hope for, is to avail herself of the immense
advantages which the present tariff system
affords the manufacturer by engaging in the
business for herself
