WEDNESDAY MORNING. JANUARY %, 1868
8nlt,moro and south Carolina.

Tens of thousands of Confederate prls-
oners-huddled together on the bleak shores
of Point Lookout-received comfort and
sustenance from those good Samaritans-
the ladies of Baltimore. Confederate OFF,
GERS, shut up at Fort MoIIenry for months
received their only solace from the hands
of these same ministering angels. And 30
with the prisoners at Fortress Monroe anu
the Old Capitol, at Davis Island and Elmlra'
The ladies of Maryland were never weary
in well-doing. Mindful of the Divine in
junction, they fed the hungry, they clothed
the naked, they visited the sick, and COM
forted the distressed; and all this to mere
straueers-men whom they had never seen
before, and could not expect to meet again
Thew gave in faith; anG these, their good
deeds. stand recorded in the Great Book.
All this, while the war was going on; and
when fighting ceased, the field Of their bene-
factions was enlarged, and whole communi-
ties instead of few thousand prisoners OF
war claimed their generous bounty. True,
these long continued drafts on their LIBERAL
ity and benevolenoe have taxed the energies
of these ladies to tho uttermost, but no
sooner went forth the call for help from the
South, than, by return of mail, we read oi
the efforts made by the several Relief A'so-
Citations in Baltimore to procure supplies
for the destitute in our section. Large
amounts of corn, -four, bacon, clothing
and money, were sent to every State in the
South where famine vas threatened, and
untold suffering was thus averted.
South Carolina has always enjoyed a
lions share Of these favors, and we feel,
therefore, that we express the sentiment OF
every trus-hearted son and daughter OF
Carolina in Offering this tribute to the gen.
tie and never-tiring heroism of the noble
daughters of Maryland.
Unwearied by FIVE consecutive years OF
large handed benevolance, these sisters OF
charity are again at work to acquire the
means wherewith to keep the wolf from the
Southern door. The Baltimore papers every
day contain notices Of concerts, tablesux,
etc., etc., ell given for the benefit of the
Southern Relief Associations.
Twice blessed is the giver-it is pleasant
to give, and it is still more pleasant to con-
template the relief bestowed upon the suf-
fering. Our Maryland friends enjoy this
double reward, and we feel confident that
it is all that they look for. But they merit
more at our hands, We cannot receive
such repeated proofs of their thoughtful
kindness without making this public ac-
knowledgment.

manufactures of their time is afforded by
the fact, that the making of felt hats ceased
in France for forty years after their depar-
ture. The secret was conveyed by them
across the sea, and thus noble and prelate
were constrained to patronize the despised
sectaries until treacherous workman dis
covered the lost art to orthodoxy. The
perfection of the English surgical instru-
ments is in a great measure due to the
French surgeons who found an asylum
among that warm-hearted people, in whose
present dynasty, as we'll as in that Of Prus-
sia, flows the Huguenot blood. To one OF
the same profession, Or. DENIS PAPIN, is
due the invention of the digester, of steam
engine, and of the bona yfde steamboat. In
1907, precisely one hundred years before
FuLroN's invention, PAP1N sent from Ger
many, for trial on the Thames, his model
engine and wheeled boat, ''une petite ma
chine dun uaisseau a roues" The boatmen
on the weser who arrested the little vessel
at Muenden, and barbarously destroyed IT,
gave our FULTON his laurels. The INVENTOR
in letter to LE1BNITz, expressed his desire
that the new construction should be tried
in deep water, and promised that by means
of FIRE it would render one OF two men
capable of producing more effect than some
hundreds of rowers.
The scope of the present volume required
that it should be repertory of anecdotes
and biographies set duly in their place in
the frame work of general history-that it
should be o book of quaint research, OF
generous sympathy and of philosophic COM
prehension. This difficult task MIR. SMILES
has accomplished to our entire satisfaction
His style is careless, homely, pregnant,
like the old household English; he writes
impressively-with subdued enthusiasm,
with sympathy yet fairness; the latest his
.oric investigations are at his command, and
nj, ,orts of records-oommercisl industrial,
ecclesiastical, domestic, diplomatic-have
been rummaged for the illustration of the
history of the Huguenots and their psrse-
cutors. Hon. G. P. DIsoswAr contributes,
in the Appendix, IN interesting sketch OF
the Huguenots in America. The history
thrills with it's adventure, warns with lts
piety, and charms with its romance.

The H.uguenots.

TsE HUaUENors: Their Settlements, Churches

Samuel Smiles. With an Appendix Relating
to the Huguenots in America. New YORK;
Harper j. Bros. 1858. PIP. 44S. Charles
ton: John Russell, King-street.
The revocation of the Edict of Nantes,
in 1886, changed the fortunes Of France
ane all other civilized nations. Never was
a great national crime visited by more
signal and speedy retribution. The royal
revel was yet at it's height when the hand
of an avenging destiny appeared and wrote
its fiery sentence upon the walls. The
transcendent glory departed from the cabi-
net and the council chamber; and the
French lilies withered on the fields of Fame.
What remained, Us CARLYLE tells us in his
quaint and forcible style, was "emptiness
Of pocket, of stomach, Of head, and Of
heart" The Importance of the Huguenot
element in French society is proved by the
immediate degradation of the genius and
higher life of the nation, resulting from its
escape The great men who fingered upon
the stage were jostled aside by mediocrity
and servility. ?,he army was demoralized
by dragonnades as well as by the loss of
staunch and hardy soldiers. In literature
there was no freedom of thought; and COL
BERT himself could not have stimulated any
intellectual productiyeness. In the sacred
desk no successors of BossUET, BoURDA-
LOUIE and FENELoN arose. "LoUIs," says
BUCKLE, ssurvived the entire intellect Of
the French nation" Besides this, many
sources of revenue were cut off. MA1NTE-
NON wrote to her brother that "Estates in
Poitou could be got for nothing" and busily
improved the opportunity. Many branches
Of industry were suppressed. The middle
class, the conservative element in the State,
the enterprise, the industry, the virtue, the
religion of society, disappeared. The exile
of the Huguenots neoessitated the Reign
of Terror. The barbarous policy of LOUIS
XIV. brought LOUIS XVI. to the guillotine.
What France lost by the Huguenot emf
grafton, other nations gained, d,-maFshals
like SoHoMBIRa; soldiers not inferior to
the dreaded infantry of Prussia or the
Swiss mounta.neers into whose ranks they
entered; impetuous volunteers who caught
the falling standard of WILLIAM of Orange,
and bore it OIL to victory through the Grim
son waters Of the Boyne; partisans like
MARION; statesmen such as LAURENs and
JAY; skilled operatives of every sort; man
ufacturers professional men; merchants;-
the costliest sacrifoe ever made by fanati-
cism since the world began-having no par
allel until tn. same malignant spirit decreed
the hecatomt of our Southern millions. Mr..
SMILES admits that, in certain sense, the
Huguenots created British industry. A
