Col. c. c. Tew.

We publish the following extract from the
Raleigh Sentinel, because the extraordinary tale o
Col. TEws being alive and in prison is being now
generally circulated throughout his native and
adopted States; but while the matter was confined
to one or two Of the country papers, without the
slight appearance of truth it now assumes, ne pre-
ferred not mentioning anything Of it in our paper:
The following statement by the Hi1lsboro' Re-
corder looks strange. MIR. Wallace, we learn, has
been to Hillsboro' and communicated with Mrs.
Tew and friends. Rumor in this matter will be
busy, and, therefore, the public should receive
with allowance what is said of it. Doubling the
statements attributed to Mr.. Wallace we regretted
the publication OF them, lest it mightrevive hope
never to be gratifed in the bosom OF his friends
and especially in her who was nearest to him.
Hence we delayed noticing it. Now we learn that
the statements Of Mr. Wallace are so far credited,
that one Of the Professors Of the Academy has
been dispatched to- ascertain the truth. Under
these circumstances, it is best for the press to
await further Developments and suspend the pub
ication Of those statements from parties who
aver that Col. Tew is dead. The following, from
the Hillsboro' Recorder, may be relied lpon as
containing the grounds upon which MIR. Wallace's
statements are believed in Hillsboro'.
The citizens of this place were greatly surprised
though gratifed to learn that Colonel Tew is prob

Stow CoAcHEs-The practice has become SO
frequent to revile Charleston for being behind the
age, that the assertion is now generally believed,
especially when facts carry conviction with them.
Although We have not refrigerated, yet our pro-
gress has been by no means rapid, and in many
instances our sister cities have outstripped US in
the race. Our Fire Department is one that ne
have every reason to be justly proud Of and few
volunteer organizations are to be found in better
state Of efficiency. Since the introduction Of steam
it has met with increased favor and the opposition
and prejudice that first encountered it has entire
ly disappeared. Savannah, Augusts, Atlanta, and
other Southern cities, have all adopted the use Of
Steam Fire Engines, and in most Of these cities
they have added horse power to them, thus re-
doubling their efficacy. Atlanta recently pur-
chased pair Of cream horses for the use Of their
new steamer and they have long been employed
in the Northern cities as valuable adjuncts to The
fremen. Charleston has never yet been able to
adopt the equestrian touch, and the fremen are
content to drag their heavy machines over un-
paved streets; but the march Of progress will not
allow this long to continue. 1t will be seen that it
is for the interest of the community that the en-
gines should be prompt OF fire. In paid depart
would seem that horses might be dispensed with;
but in volunteer organization, where the men
are widely scattered, they are almost necessity.
This is particularly the case in Charleston, and
our energetic firemen would only increase their
force by the addition Of two equines, they would
get over the ground with greater speed, and their
facilities for doing good would be largely increased

CoTToN THEEr.-We have often alluded to the
urgent necessity that existed for River Police,
and have repeatedly called attention to the un-
guarded condition Of our wharves. It is true that
there is, in nearly every instance private watch
man to each wharf, and not unfrequently the same
number Of policemen; but they are not argus
eyed, and depredstions frequently occur which
they have not the power to prevent. A system Of
Riser Police or Detectives, who would ply their
vocation in boats, would lessee the risk Of theft
that factors now fear, aud the additional security
impaired would make wharf the terror Of thieves,
instead OF. a hiding place and q refuge.
On last Tuesday night two bales ofsea island cot
tom were stolen from the British bark Regina,
lying at Accommodation Whsrf Information
was Immediately lodged at the Detectives Office,
and officers IRyy,; DAVIS and HEDr appointed toin-
vestixate the occurrence. It was found that the
thieves bad taken boat and carried it with their
plunder bosond the city limits. A further search
resulted in the discovery of the two bales slowed
away in ON old casemste in Fort johnson. The
missing cotton was instantly levied upon and
brought to the city, where it was identified, and
the track Of the thieves being known, one was
soon arrested, and his confreres will shortly be in
the same situation.
This theft was certainly well contrived, and was
; done by experts who thoroughly understood their
game; but they reckoned without their host when
they imagine st they could elude the clutches Of
the law. The two bales were worth over $1,000,
the cotton being Of the finest quality, and the care
taken to conceal and preserve the booty, shows
that the thieves were talented cotton pickers and
they viii evidently appreciate the attention Of q
cell in the new penitentary.

ADVANCE IN LITERATURE.

q 1t is amusing to note the different aspects
in which great aathor is viewed not only
by his contemporaries, but by scholars and
men OF learning, long after he mas ceased to
be agitated by that various and unreliable
thing-popular opinion. William Windham,
one Of the lights of the eighteenth century,
agreat statesman, and addicted TO classical
and modem literature-the friend of Burke
and johnson, the admired orator of his day
passed the following Judgment on Cold
smiths inimitable =" Vicar Of Wakefield
" II is a most absurd book, with hardly
anything to carry it through hut the name
of the author, or to reconcile the
reader TO il but the catastrophe Civ
ing such full measure OF happiness to
the good, and such proper punishment
to the wicked and worthless. Tresome
disputatious, false opinions, uninterestng
digressions, improbable incidents, nothing
perfectly right, even where 1t cannot be
said to be positively wrong; the very humor
being little more than good attempt and
never quite successful"
We confess our amazement at finding
this passage quoted in the Edi,aLuqt
Reriet1, and were glad to see it noted as
" strangely heretical aad tasteless.n Or.
Johnson thought sixty pounds sufficient
sum for the Vicar when it was sold.H We
opine his Judgment must have wholly
changed when he wrote Goldsmiths cpl
taph, and when the world had placed the
fame of the latter so high that few could
approach his standard.
We wonder what terms the great bi0gra-
phist would employ could he behold,
at this day, some of the meaningless

THE TALIsST ANEU I;ISEAsTPLATE

One morning as l trudged along,
From Dixie's wars returning,.
Sweet visions Of my Southern home
We're in my bosom burning.
The sun shone bright on hill and dale.
EartE's sweere-t flowers were springipG.
The lambs were sporting in the vale,
And forest birds we're singing
overlook t5il.woru man.
His garments all were tattered,
As if BY elemental storms
They rudely had been shattered.
HIS hat was smashed, his boots run down,
HIS visage detected,
Although despair had her sad throne
On his pale face erected.
His eagle eye had lost its glaam,
His form seemed bent with sorrow,
And on his soul such anguish sat
As art never borrow
Beneath a brow OF seeming worth
Lurked crafty observation,
And for a mantle broad and large
He wrapped hum in Religion"
Upon his front q brea.tpl.te snonc,

And on it, in three shining rows,
