A TERRIBLE TYPHooN.-Hon Ansor
Burlingame, Udited States Minister to
China, writes to the Secretary of State
under date Of Shanghai, October Goth
giving an account of the great ty.
phoon on the coast of Japan, the 18th
Of September. Mr.. Burlingame says
The typhoon was the severest known
for years, the barometer falling to 81
OIL. The rare action of the air was so
great as to affect passengers painfully.
The wind appeared to strike the vessel
unequally; in one place breaking
strong iron bolts, and in another leav-
ing weak objects unframed. Our safe
ty, next to the good conduct Of Capt.
Noel and two or three Of his officers,
was due to the excellent model of the
ship. She was very high out of water,
and very strong. think it will be
found that in nearly every case Of the
loss of steamships at sea the result
has as with the London lost in the Bay
of Biscay, occurred from weakness of
the deck, or defective arrangements
for keeping water from penetrating by
the skylights, and other openings into
the space below. Tn such cases the
shipping Of one or two seas will fill the
vessel, and she will go down at once,
leaving no trace. So probably, perish
ed last year, on the coast, the steamers
Chanticleer and Corea. 2

month
Education in Mississippi is begin
ming to attract that attention its impor-
lance demands. Schools of various
grades have been established, others
are growing up, and the masses are
awakened to the absolute necessity of
more thoroughly educating the rising
generation. The teacher must pre-
pare himself for this growing demand,
and to work with advantage we must
work together. Unity of purpose,
unity of feeling, and uniformity of
books will vastly aid us, in fact the
only way to bring about united, vigor-
Gus effort in this general advancement,
is to meet together, exchange views,
discuss points, and aid each other in
the many ways in which such associa-
tons benefit and prepare us for the
duties of our vocation.

Tn the learned brief submitted to the
Snpreme Court IN the case of Millagen
by that distinguished jnrist, Judge
Black of Pennsylvania, the most unan
swerable arguments against the right
eousness of military commissions are
advanced that we remember yet to
have noticed. The opinion of Attor-
new General Holt that even trial by
commission of this kind at the time
Millagen was convicted, was most
merciful dispensation, is replied to in
the most pertinent language, when ne
is advised to cast his eye upon the Con-
stitution and observe that provision
which relieves all military and execu-
tive officers of this government, from
the trial of any person not in the land
or naval forces of the United States.
While disavowing any inclination to
criticise any of the past proceedings
of these bodies, he does not neglect to
remark that their continuance will be
omnipotent for evil, and will surely and
speedily ruin the liberties of the coun-
try. Had the decision of the Supreme
Court been in favor of the military
commissions, it would have been easy
to see that our Republic, which we
had held forth as a model government,
was surely fest approaching its final
ruin. 1t must be, however, matter
of congratulation among ourselves that
there is sufficient craftsmanship and
unprejudiced wisdom left to preserve
us from that vortex of obstruction into
which radicalism would involve the
whole country.
For the constitutional bane under
which the decision in this case places
these Commissions, we must be allow
ed to express our satisfaction, and also
to say that hope may now be indul-
ged by all patriots, that our country
VIII SOOu tuJOy tA e1AC UACoo4ASo VI
peace and prosperity, unless plunged
into revolution by Congress. We have
from the first believed that our only
hope rested on the judiciary, and our
principal ground of distrust was the
idea that the spirit of partizanship
would not be excluded in order to give
proper and unbiased consideration to
the great questions which would arise,
to affect the liberties and permanency
of our government We feel justly
proud of those expounders of the
law, who, in this case, have responded
so truly to the letter and spirit of our
Constitution. Our wishes must now
gather some strength. Let us indulge
in the hope that we shall yet live
through this night Of darkness, to
see our country, emerging from her
present ordeal Of suffering, to be-
come again one of the happiest and
most prosperous nations of the earth.

The question of State suicide is to
be brought up in Alabama, says an ex-
change as follows A man named Jor-
dan was convicted before the u. s.
District Court in Montgomery, Ala,
and was sentenced by Judge Busted
to twenty-one years confinement in
the penitentiary. His counsel will
apply to the Supreme Court for writ
of Aa5eas corpus on the ground that
Alabama is not State, but a territory,
and as such Judge Busteed's court
had no legal status. We think room
would be found to dodge the question
in this, but the decision would be an
important one if there was not.

The following merited compliment,
we transfer, with pleasure, from the
Vicksburg Times:
We have been unofficially informed
that the present Department Comman-
der, Maj Gen. T. j. Wood. is to be
relieved at an early day, probably
during the course of this week. In
the severance of the connection be-
tweep him and the people of Missis-
sipp1, we feel that we will fully express
their sentiments, when we bid him a
hearty God-speed id the future. More
than year has passed away since
he first came among people subjected
to the worst forms of oppression and
injustice. Our cities and villages
were thronged with negro soldiers, and
in every district petty satrap, "cloth-
ed in brief authority" held sovereign
sway. Approaching, at once, the high
responsibility devolving upon him as
an officer of the Government, and the
sad condition of q proud race, he APP
piled himself to the discharge of his
manifold duties with energy and fideli-
ty His record here and with his
Government, will show that the repu-
tation gain in the field, has been amply
sustained in the cabinet and council.
On some points we have differed, ma
terially with Gen. Wood; but we
view the existing state Of affairs from
different stand points and while we
may not agree, we can still give to
each other credit for sincerity and
candQr. At no time and no place will
Gen. Wood have cause to regret his
official connection with our people,
and should he in coming time, visit us
again, be it as soldier or citizen, he
will receive hearty welcome. Would
that the u. S. had such representatives
in every Southern State-men who,
having faced us in the storm of battle,
know that we are men; and, as such,
entitled to courtesy and consideration.
The General will carry no gold medals
from Mississippi, but he will take that
which is better by far-the respect and
confidence of those with whom he has
been called upon to exercise delicate
and responsible relations.

PUBLISHERS CLARION In answer to your
note, state that the circulation of the
Clarion, instead of diminishing is increasing
in this locality, and that your mail circula.
tion here and in the adjoining county of
Jasper is certainly greater than that of any
otherpaper published in the State or out of
it. OF course this renders it the best me-
dunn for advertising to reach the trade of
this section of the State, and as the larger
part of our trade goes to Mobile the Mobile
merchants should by all means advertise in
