RAcY PARAGRAPHS FROM PRENTICE.

We extract the following pertinent and spicy
paragraphs from the last number of the Louisville
Journal, and are confident that our readers will
appreciate them:
One radical paper, greatly prefering Wade to
Grant, attacks the literature of the latter. He
says that Grant talks ungrammatically and pro-
nounces badly The radicals would no doubt like
the Generals pronunciation we'll enough if they
could get from him ''pronunciamento" to their
liking.
The subject of introducing pure air into the
House of Representatives has been brought up in
that body. But no matter what amount of pure
air may get into the House, it will be polluted as
soon rs it gets in.
The chief thing decided by the late elections is,
ment Several important matters were decided,
but they were mainly embraced in this.
Horace Greeley processes to have made himself
r. We had done the work for him, we would have
done it better or else have thrown the thing aside
as zone of our failures"
The Portland Aduerti,er asks whether the radi-
calls of Congress ''wil still dance TO the music Of
Thad. Stevens banjo" If they do, they will dance
'break-down."
The Southern negroes ore determined to have
entire possession of the polls. a very sweet odor
Of nationality such pole-cats will spread around
them.

in Louisiana is that they are not known To 9th

FIREs.-NYe learn that the Clubhouse of
Mr. SAMUEL SMITH, about seven miles South of
this place, was destroyed by fire ON Friday last
aud large quantity of cotton consumed. The fire
originated by friction Of the machinery.
The dwelling of Mr.. PLEASANT KAY, three miles
East Of the village, was totally consumed by fire
on Sunday, 1st inst. 1t was the work of an incen-
diary. The family had left the house TO visit a
ucighbor, and had only been absent about IN hour
and there had been no Ere in the room where tho
flames evidently began. The entire building and
contents were consumed not even any part Of the
clothing being saved.
We would caution our people against careless
ness or inattcntion about their premises, especially
at this season Of tho year.

store of ELIJAH wEBB, Esq, was broken into, and
small sum of money taken from the drawer. The
back door of the couning-room was forced open

by the burglar that considerable money was in the
house, as the room was we'll searched Mr.. CoBB,

CHARLESTON PArERs-Within the re-
collection Of this dcponent, the Queen City has
never been better supplied in the way OF neWspa-
pers And this is meant to say, better in every
respect. Three handsome dailies, ably and cour-
teously conducted. and each alive 10 The interests
of Charleston, and energetic in their own advance
ment likewise.
We have recently alluded to the change in the
management of tho Daily NeO', and deem it only
necessary now to declare that improvement and
progress have marked its course every day, and
that the gentlemanly proprietors and editors de-
serve the generous encouragement being accorded
to them.
Among the favorites Of 30 olden time there are
more gentlemen with specacles in this State who
will swear by the Courier than is the with any
other journal. The reason is obvious, for more
than half century has elapsed since the first
number was printed, aud though never strictly
political journal, its commercial columns have been
accurately prepared during all that time. Hence
its popularity with merchants of long standing and
planters of the patriarclal era. AT the present
date, the Courier is none the less valuable in
commercial point of view, while editorials and cor
respondcncc from MI the principal cities makes it
doubly attractive But we were n little surprised
the other day at the enterprise of this staid and
sober sheet The Presidents Message appeared
in full on the morning of the Bird inst, and it was
not received by Congress until noon. Indeed, an
editor way up in the Pee Dee country actually read
the Message in the Courier, extra before the loyal
representatives of the nation were favored with
its reading in the halls of Congress. This is
ted Gun account for its accomplishment But we
not 'gong to tell tales out of school" and re-
fer to it par parenthesis.
The Mercury has SO long been the exponent OF
what is termed the peculiar politics" of South
Carolina that n mere mention Of its name is suth-
cent TO attract attention. 1t is little more than
year since its publication resumed, and we are
gratifed TO know that old patrons and new friends
are sustaining tho proprietors with n liberal hand
AS news and political Journal the Mercury IS
ameng the foremost in enterprise and ability.
We may well congratulate The citizens Of Charles
ton upon their daily press and would urge them
TO greater liberaty in cherishing these lively
representatives of their city. The success anu au
vancement of business interests depends greatly
upon IN intelligent and active press-more than
people generally willing to admit. In concll-
sion, if any of our friends desire to subscribe for
either of the papers named we are ready Mt oil
times to forward their subscrptions
