Adespatch from Warrenton, Massa-
chusetts, says that the operatives in
Sprague's cotton mill, at Baltic,
Conn, have struck for higher wages,
and the mill has stopped work in
consequence. This factory is the
largest of the kind in the United
States. The inability of such an es-
tablishment to pay its operatives
good wages, is not q very promising
sign for those planters who are max
ing cotton their principal crop this
year, i'll tue nope of obtaining high
price for it next winter.

The following memorial was pre-
sented:
To the Honorable tie Mayor and Com
mon Council Of the city Of Columbia.
The memorial of the undersigned
respectfully shows to your honorable
body, that, feeling very solicitous to
see placed at school all the children
OF this city, they have had confer
cnce with DR.. Sears. the general
agent of the Peabody fund for aiding
in the establishment of common
schools in the Southern States, and
they have discussed an arrangement
by which the present sum raised by
taxation and appropriated for the
purposes of education, in this city,
may be increased to at least 50, 900:
provided your honorable body will
make such appointments of commit
tee ms will meet the suggestion of DR..
Sears.
He proposes, from that Peabody
fund, to advance to the city of Co
lumbia sum equal to that raised by
taxation, and to place the general
management of the schools, pupils
and funds. under the control and di-
rection of committee of five, to be
appointed by the City Council.
There is already one public school
sustained by the school fund of the
city, and the remaining $1,000 ap-
propriated to the payment of tuition
in other schools, male and female,
will, in all probability, enable the
committee to place every child and
youth in the city ut school during the
balance of the present year. The
undersigned forbear to suggest the
names of proper persons to be ap-
pointed upon the committee, being
satisfied that your honorable body
will appoint such rs enjoy the conf
dence of the community and who
will take an interest in seeing that
this benevolent donation will be pro-
perly applied and judiciously ex-
pended.
Your early attention in the matter
is earnestly solicited. We have the
honor, to be, very respectfully. your
obedient servants.

anoo- oi spring, have been dlssipated
by the arrival of spring itself.
Things never looked more pacific
over the entire continent, and though
there are, as ever, unsettled ques-
tions containing elements of danger,
there is no sign that any of them
will at this time be brought to the
settlement of war. Even the Franco
German quarrel has passed into
quietness, and france and Prussia
are protesting rather uncommon
friendship for each other, and are
cooperating on many matters of
great Importance. The French Off
cial journals frequently express the
fixed desire of the Emperor to con-
tinue on terms of permanent amity
with Germany, and attempt to show
that the common interests of the two
countries are SO great and vital that
they must not be imperiled by any
of the petty disputes that have here
tofore arisen between them. It was
asserted by Vienna journal, that
Prince Napoleon, who is now on
visit to Berlin, was attempting to
induce Prussia and the other signers
of the treaty of 1916 to unite in
remonstrance against the absorption
of the kingdom of Poland by Rus
sia; but this has been promptly de-
MED, and the denial is accompanied
by the declaration that his visit has
no political object whatever. It is
possible that it has no political pur-
pose of the kind referred to; but, at
the same time, it is in itself proof
of the desire of France to strengthen
her friendship with Prussia, and to
increase the pacific sentiment which
now exists in both countries. The
King of Prussia also adds his assur-
ances to the many others lately given
Of the desirable aspect of affairs, and
the pacific spirit of the Continental
Governments. In his speech to the
Parliament of the North German
Confederation, last Monday, his Ma
jesty expressed, with marked en-
phasis, his confidence in the perma-
nence of the peace which he was
glad to say now prevailed among the
great powers of Europe. Lord STAN
ley, in making some remarks to a
deputation from the Peace Society, q
few days ago, referred to the position
of England and the state of Europe.
The policy of England is Il policy of
peace. Unfortunately, (said he,) it
is not 80 over the world. "Never,
perhaps, was there a period when
ornaments were so large, and rumors
of war more frequent. But this can
not last always. Out of this state of
confusion and transition, there must
of necessity come better state of
things. There are financial, among
other reasons, why this cannot go on
much longer, since military expendi-
ture must nearly have reached its
limit" 1t is these things that have
helped to increase the apprehensions
existing during the winter of an out
break of war. The French Govern
ment has pushed through the army
bill with determination that no.
thing could frustrate; and rs it makes
France even more of military camp
than ever, there was reason to be-
lieve that the Emperor would lose no

men-practical IN their ideas-has
been appointed to arrange the pre-
liminaries and establish these schools
which, we hope and believe, will
be so organized, that thorough edu-
cation may be obtained. Let it be
understood, too, that these educa-
tional establishments are not to be
"pauper institutions" but that the
children of the rich, (if such can be
found in this unfortunate commu.
nity,) as well as the poor, will re-
ceive instruction. The "ward schools
at the North have first class teachers,
and graduate from one of those in

the universities. Let general edu-
cational tax be levied--small in
amount, though it be-and thereby
establish these free schools on per-
manent and thorough basis.

Our CoTToN MARKET. We have,
on several occasions. directed the
attention of our readers to the fact
that our Columbia merchants were
liberal, and willing to pay the high
est prices for cotton and all country
produce; and MS a proof of the asser-
tion, state that lot of sixteen bales
was sold yesterday, to Mr.. Agnew,
at 2619c. per pound. 1t was choice
lot, raised by Col. Beatty, of Union,
and pronounced to be the finest cot
ton shipped from Columbia this sea-
son. Let our planters throughout
the State patronize the Columbia
market.
The R1CHLAND JAIL.-This build
ing has advanced so far towards COM
pletion, that Mr. Sheriff Green has
taken possession. Yesterday morn
ing, in company with Deputy Beard,
and several citizens, we paid visit
of examination to this place of de-
tention for law-breakers. The baso-
ment is arranged as q guard house;
but there is, we think, hardly space
enough for the purpose intended.
The first floor is occupied by the
Jailor's family, and on either side of
the main entrance are various Offices
and reception rooms. The second
floor is admirably arranged, with COM
fortably furnished rooms for debtors,
and eighteen cells for prisoners, with
passage ways in front OF each room.
The building is thoroughly vcntilat-
ed and heated in the most approved
style. The comfort as we'll rs secu-
rity of the prisoners has been looked
after. Mr.. Hezeliah Duncan has
charge of the prisoners. and keeps
the place in excellent order. Messrs.
Kay & Hewetson are the architects,
and the work speaks well for their
abilities in the construction of sub
stantial as we'll as ornamental build
ings.

We are indebted to the publishers
for copy of this work, m extended
notice of which we published several
weeks ago. The complete work is
fully up to what the specimens and
advertisements promised. In the
preface to the work, the author says:
''In his especial solicitude for
favorable appreciation of his efforts,
by his Southern countrymen, the
author has striven to avoid affront to
those considerations. of delicacy
which yet affect many incidents OF
the late war. He has not sought to
revive, unnecessarily, questions upon
which Southern sentiment was di-
vided, and has rarely assailed the
motives or capacity of individuals in
recognized antagonism to the policy
of President Davis. Perhaps diff
ferent course would have impaired
interest to his work, and have moro
clearly established the vindication of
its subject. But besides being wholly
repugnant to the tastes of the author,
it would have been in marked con-
tiict with the consistent aim of Mr..
Davis career, which was to heal, not
to aggravate, the differences of the
South"
