PRoGREss.- Columbus sailed to the
American coast in four hundred ton,
ship, and first landed upon the island
of st. Domingo. Last week a vessel
from st. Domingo unloaded in New
York over four hundred tons of ST.
Croix Rum for p: 81. Drake S Co.,
of that city. This is but a few weeks
supply of this article, which these
gentlemen use in the manufacture of.
the celebrated PLANTATION BIrrHRs.
We are informed by an exchange that
Messrs. Drake & CO. have not adver-
tised dollar for q year, but that the.
sales of this article continue at the
former enormous figure. In 1864,
the receipts of the PLANTATION BIT
TIERS were equal to those of the New
York & New Haven Railroad.

VICES OF AMERIoANs. A recent
medical writer states that the vices of
the American character may be briefly
summed up as follows: 1st. An in
ordinate passion of riches. Cd. Over
work Of mind and body in the pur-
suit of business. Sd. Uudue hurry
and excitement in all the affairs OF
life. 4th. Intemperance in eating,
drinking and smoking. 9th. a gene.
raj disregard of the true laws Of life
and health.

A life of mere pleasurel A little
while in the spring-time of the senses,
in the sunshine of prosperity, in the
Jubilee of health, il may seem well
enough. But how insufficient. how
mean, how terrible when age comes.
and sorrow and death! A life of
pleasure! What does it look like
when these great changes beat against
it-when the realities OF eternity
stream in? It looks like the frae.
ments of feast, when the sun shines
npon the witherad gariands and the
tinsel, and the overturned tables and
dead lees of wine.

The recent accounts from Spain
would seem to indicate that the revo-
luton in that country is not to be
cheated out of the usual feast of
blood and rapine. The lazzaroni of
Madrid, who collect in mobs 100, 600
strong, are assuming daily more
threatening aspect, and have devel-
oped all the inhumon passions which
characterized the Partisan blood
hounds of '89. Gen. Prim, who has
more than once been called upon to
battle their rage and protect the vic
Tins of their fury, has already in
Cured suspicion, and cries of naue7t1
q Prim have more than once echoed
beneath his palace windows. The IL
baton of blood which popular liber-
ty seems always to demand as her
baptism, it is thought, will not be
long evaded; the present storm may
be quelled, but the elements of new
tempest is there which lowers dark
and threateningly in the not distant
future.

Wrapped for the night,
Come let me count all

p Schools, above all things,
should claim the first attention of
every parish. The means of ed
ucation are not sufficiently dis
tributed among us, and the i'm
portance of education not suffi-
GENTLY felt. We are weary OF
talking up waste lands and rates
of labor, for they viii soon adjust
themselves. 1t is high time to
talk up waste minds and their

cation of the masses now depends
the whole future prosperity of
the South. Chancellor Kent says:
''The parent wLo sends his son
into the world uneducated, de-
frauds the community OLA lawful
citizen and bequeathes to it a nui-
sance."
The balance of power is only
rightly adjusted where knowledge
is universal. To our people it is
now. II vital necessity, and every
sacrifice should be made to estab-
lish coed scho1ls within the reach
Of the poorest in every communi-
ty. To.those who are proposing
a thousand schemes Tor the cul-
ture and improvement of Southern
plantations, we suggest the sub
jeCt. Let the means OF education
be distributed among the masses
of the Southern people, and the
harvest will be a richer one to
the ration than all the bales of
co ton or h0gsheads of sugar that
the fertile Southern soil has ever
borne n. o. Times.
