Mexico is certainly tho most extra
ordinary forcing-house of rebellions
on the globe. The same steamer
that brought news of the suppression
of the revolt in Yucatan, has also
brought news of fresh insurrection
in Tampico, and on the heels of that
despatch has come intelligence of
half dozen other rebellions. Thus.
at the moment when the Capitol
celebrated the victory in Yncatan. it
must have heard, first, that Tampico
had risen, and was blockaded by Go
vernment gun-boats; next, that n re-
belliou had broken out under Valdez.
and the Government troops had
been defeated; third, that Nfendez
was leading hostile column against
the Capitol itself, from the State of
Tobasco; fourth. tila. Canaios nnd
Carvajal had revolted at Camargo, in
Tamaulipas. and finally that Cortina
had "threatencd revolution" if his
demands were not met SO hydra
headed is rebellion in Mexico, that
any buta Mexican Government would
despair Of quelling it.

COLTJMRIA
Friday Morning. February IA, 1868.
Tho Alabnma ,Claims.

Tho Alabama Clatms.
The Intelligent London correspon-
dent of the New York Times says it
seems to be the general impression in
London-not as reflected n thc Len
don Times merely, but conveyed
through all the channels of public
opinion in the metropolis, save the
Morning Star alone-that England
has gone as far in overtures towards
compromise as it can do consistently
with justice. The public sentiment
in England is briefly this: that it is
ready and willing to have the whole
question of liabilities on account of
the Alabama claims referred to arbi-
tration, and to pay all claims which
are given in against England by m
arbitrator agreed upon by the two
powers; but that the good faith Of
England, in recognizing the belli-
gerent rights of the South, eleuen
days at1er the Presidents order for
the blockade was published in Eng
land, and after Mr.. Seward himself
had declared to Lord Lyons that the
United States were "belligerents,"
and referred to England as "neu-
trals"-thie is question which the
people (not the Government alone)
seem to feel ought not to he referred
to arbitration. With this rescrva-
tion, tho feeling of the country is
said to be for paying the money and
making an end of the business. The
New York Tribune says: "a war with
England would be the most deplor
able calamity that could happen to
civilization" Such war would cost
more than all tho Alabama claims,
and would add q good many more to
them, none of which, including the
Alabama, wonld, in all likelihood,
even be settled at the return of peace.
g. It is never wise to under-rate the
capacity of an adversary for mischief,
and whilst neither England nor the
United States could do each other
much harm on land, there would be
no bounds to the destruction that
they could mutually inhict on water.
It is now we'll understood, or ought
to be, the Baltimore Sun thinks, that
if the United States Government had
permitted us to drift into a war with
England on the Trent affair, we
should not have caught her mapping,
but that her naval preparations were
on such scale that she could have
acted with great promptness and in
formidable way Oh our own coast.
She is quite as we'll prepared now as
then, and is unembarrassed by any
European complications. Onr coun-
trymen have had enough of war to
disincline the present generation
from resorting to that kind of remedy
for any question which admits of o
peaceful solution.

CULTIVATE THE So1L.-The Rich
mond Enquirer and Examiner is
urging the young men of the South
to cultivate the soil. It exposes the
sad condition of many youths who
sought employment as clerks in cities,
and contrasts their forlorn condition
when ont of employment, as
thousands nre-with the better csi ate
of those who manfnlly grasped the
plow-hundie and wrung generous
support from tillage. Let any stout
young fellow, who is at loss for
something to do, give heed to- this
good advice. The Examiner says:
MANY II soldier who surrendered
with Gen. Lee ut Appomattox Court
House, in April. 1865, with the aid
Of broken-down cavalry horse or u
CALLED aud broken -winded mule,
managed to make good crop of
corn. Aud we cannot recall single
instance of young man of industry
aud energy, who engaged in agricnl-
turnl pursuits after the war, who has
not done better than had he gone be-
hind IL counter to measure calico and
tape, or enrolled himself in those
unhappy armies of martyrs who an
nonnce to II needless public their will

cine.
owe sincerely hope that during
the nnYt fwn p,,nfl,o
man who does not see his way clearly
to n support in commerce or the pro-
fessions, will try his hand ut farming,
HALF of the best land is lying idle for
want of hands to till it. and however
nnpropitious the seasons may prove,
the cultivation of corn, wheat, oats,
etc. is sure to yield n support to the
Industrious lnb0rer. We do not mean
that on incnrably lazy white man.
whose farming consists in hiring q
worthless negro or two, whom he
overlooks by sitting on q stump with
an umbrella over his head, is likely
to succeed. God forbid that snch
cnmberer of the earth should demoral-
ize the youth of the South by snc-
ceeding at nnything-for his example
would be bad one.
"But, looking to tho cheapness of
lands. and to their fertility, and the
great ease with which they are cnlti-
vnted. and to their accessibility to
the very best markets for grain, the
industrious farmer is sure to do bet
ter for the present than the strug-
Cling merchant or the unemployed
professional man. There can be no

The streets of Columbia have pre-

observed at the various warehouses,

Too MUCH OF THE ARDENT. Com
plants have been made by several
persons. of being interfered with by
soldiers belonging to the garrison
here. Yesterday morning, between
4 and 5 o'clock, one of the carriers of
the Ph9niI-a colored man-was as
sailed by several mounted soldiers,
and because he refused to give them
papers. they attempted to use their
sabres upon him. Fortunately, the
carrier eluded them, and took refuge
in a neighboring building. AS the
troops have just been paid of, it is
presumed that liquor has been more
freely dispensed among them. It is
hoped that the military authorities
will look into this matter.
ST. VALENTINE. TO -dny--Fcbru-
ary 14-is the day sacred to ST. Va
lentine, n presbyter, who, according
to the legend, was bchcaded mt Rome,
under Claudius. Mr.. Brand (Popu-
lar Antiqnities, vol. L, page AL says
that he cannot find in the life Of the
saint any circumstances likely to have
given origin to the peculiar ceremo-
nies of the day. 1t appears to have
been very old notion, however, (for
it is alluded to by Chaucer, as we'll as
by Shakespeare. in the 1.-TWO Gen
tlemen of Verona, ') that on this day
birds begin to couple. And the Gus
tom of choosing Valentines" is of
great antiquity in this country, as
well as in France, where, however, it
has been long disused. Lyngate
mentions it, Q4763 Grose explains
Valentine to mean "the first woman
seen by man, or man by woman"
on that day; but it does not appear
where he picked up this explanation.
There is also curious French Valen-
tine, composed by the poet Cover,
in "Warton's History of English
Poetry" additions to vol. Ii, page
31.) Herrick mentions tho notion
and the custom:
soft have heard. bot youths and virgins
say,
Birds choose their m. 8 and couple, too,
this day."
1t appears that the Reformers at
tackled this as we'll as other legendary
customs of their time, and that the
Romanists themselves were 80 scan
dalized ut it that devices we're invent
ed for turning the day to profitable
use. st. Francis de Sales introdnced

DRY GeoDs AUCTION SALES IN New
YoRK.-The New York correspondent of

day:
GA feature of the dry goods auctions
to-day was a large offering by q leading
house of wells, bareges, bombazines, mousse
LANES de laine, French merinos, and en-
press cloths, of late importation. The
attendance of both city and country buyers
was quite numerous. All of the catalogue
was run off at good prices except the me-
rinos, many of which were passed, the bids
being below the views of the sellers.
Another house offered woollens, tailoring
goods, v~elvets, SC. The attendance here
was very large, the bidding spirited, and
the prices Especially those of woollens)
satisfactory. The catalogue was run off
without duplicates. Another house sold
ribbons and silk ~velvets, all of which were
readily taken at prices which make the
sale one of the most successful Of the
season.
