Negro Emigration.
The scheme of emigration to. distars
parts doesn't work as we'll as it promised.
When it comes to the scratch, Cuffss con-
cludes be would rather stay.
Hymen- colored. HlLgl l.: -.
We are advised that the negroes here.
a6outs do not marry as readily as they did
while slaves. Matrimony assumes q, ,graysr
aspect when it involves the. supporting of
family, and is not so easily put off and
on as it was in the days of yore, vhen they
did not have the liberty of starving when.
ever they pleased. ay,. .
Crops.
A correspondent writing from North
Carolina says that in the eastern part of
that State they will make enough to feed
them and to spare-enough to feed the
State, is his estimate. "a =. y .sas..t =.
So, it is to be hoped that fertile end IA.
yored spots here and there all over our
smitten land, will produce enough to, pre.
vent any suffering from want Of food nsxt
year; and the promise will still remain,
that seed time and harvest shall not fail.
Burglaries.
Almost every night we have some new
feat of this kind to regale ourselves with
here in Columbia. The latest instances
point to the servants employed on the prem.
ises as the only parties who could have had
the necessary information. The burglaries
are buugling jobs, performed without any
art or skill-simple, stupid stealing, that
almost any negro could do If he chose. A
few of the instances, however, show decided
talent. To enter door and step over the
proprietor, who sleeps across the door to
protect his house; and to take out valuabies
ae will, and to re cross the sleeping sentinel;
and all this without detection is decidedly
smart, aud indicates something like profss.

The European War. 71sa'f1s> hs'd"
The war lags. They have abundance of
armistice, but no peace. True, they have
not had the inhumanity to close Il. ID, mid.
summer with peace-we thought they could
not be 30 cruel. According to last sdvices,
Austria is getting her metal up; and Fran
els Joseph is ready to fight It out. Hshas
given up Italy, on the South, until be finish
es the little job on his northern frontier.-
Cialdini is raging all over Lombardy and
Venice, just dying for . fight; but the
Austrisus have all decsmped.e Hsrmipia
Morelli is the name Of modern Joan of
Arc, who in defence Of her own Italia, has
won the wonder of the world .-'7'' '""a
On the other hand, Prussia and her King
William, with his minister Bismarck, do
not propose to yield jot; and are likely
to dictate the terms Of peace which shall
leave Austria out of Germany. II ,oiu be
great relief to sobool.boys if they would
simplify the Geography Of central Europe.
1t has always been a nasty little patch of
hard words and interminable sub-division
We deVoutly hope they'll at least make the
geography easier. Prussia is taking an.
other smart dodge against Austria-inciting
that unparalleled scoundrel, Kossuth, to stir
up rebellion in Hungary. It is good
card. Kossuth is great rascal; but. he
can make muss for. Austria, and that is
what Prussia wants with him. Stirring up
a fuss is Kossuth's forte Poor Hungary
will of course pay the piper; but then they
will have attained their eud-they will nave
bothered Francis Joseph of .>Apstris.-
Those Magyars have always had an itching
to give trouble to the House Of Hapsburg,
and now is chance. We hope they will
improve it. ... ..o.~'.'a' ta'''
