GEN. HAMrroN,s AppnEss.-In

GEN. .HAMPToN's ApDREss.-In a
day orytwo. we expect to lay before
our readers this address, copied from
the Charleston 9iNe,Ds. 1t will be
found to repay perusal. 1t enforces
the obligations of duty, and is replete
with lofty sentiments and just con-
ceptions of mans responsibilities.
"The duties of life are more than
life."
A REpLY.-About one week ago,
we received, through the post Office,
the anonymous letter appended be-
low. As we have quietly awaited The
consequences of non-ret, action for
one week, and have failed to realize
them, We may with propriety reply
now. In the first place, we regard it
more likely that o ''carpet-bagger,"
or "scalawag," or negro, wrote it.
than "a soldier" Of course the re-
mark was intended only for those
whom the cap fitted. So. far as the
officers and men ut this post are con.
cerned, we are free to say, and pleased
to be able to say, that Columbia has
been particularly fortunate in this
respect. With few exceptions, the
officers and men on duty here have
borne themselves with great consi.
deration, and even kindness, and have
attracted the regards and respect of
the citizens. Of course, the very,
presence of Federal uniform is.
somewhat irritating to most of. us.
as it is reminder of our defeat-but
when the wearer shows a becoming
consideration for the rights and sem
timents OF those who were foemen
worthy of any soldiers steel, the
manhood of our people reciprocates
this generous feeling, and forgives
even when it cannot forget:
'.In your issue of the 18th inst, I
find this expression made use Of, in
speaking OF our Countrywide land
OF the FREE. and the home Of the
brave FREE to be lorded over, as
is sometimes the case. by FOOLS with
shoulder straps, and by 9E1rEp
scoUNDRELs.' I would ask, do you
mean this as q personal insult to. the
officers and soldiers of this post? II
SO, you are certainly we'll aware Of
the consequences likely to follow in
the event of there being no retrac-
ton. A SOLDIER"

The HOWARD (CoLoRED) SCHOOL.
Whatever may be ones political
views. he cannot but feel an interest
in the education of the colored peo-
pie in our midst. AS ignorance is
the parent of presumption and AFRO
gance, so it follows that, the more
intelligent the colored people become,
the better will they understand their
true position and their genuine inte-
rests. And, further, the more intelli-
gence they acquire, the more they
will add of assistance in the common
development of our resources. In
addition to these considerations, we
desire to see the freedmen enjoy all
the advantages of judicious educa-
tion, and this is the feeling Of all the
right-minded persons in our commu-
nifty.
In this spirit, we took occasion,
upon yesterday, in company with
two of our fellow citizens, to attend
the public examination of the How
ard School, where several hundred
of the colored boys and girls of Co.
lumbia are undergoing course of
instruction.
So long as the teachers take care
not to instil erroneous doctrines in
the minds of these scholars, we must
cordially approve OF their efforts;
and, as we have no reason to believe
that Miss Haley's instructions are
any more than literary and judicious,
we wish the Howard School well.
We were pleased with the neat ap-
pearance and becoming bearing of
the scholars, and with the order and
system that are evidently enforced.
The eagerness and interest with
which the scholars entered into their
responses to questions, was creditable
to both them and their teachers, and
the proficiency exhibited in the ele-
mentary branches was respectable.
The school is under the superintend-
ency of Miss Haley, the courteous
and accomplished principal, and she
is assisted by corps Of efficient lady
teachers from the North. We met
with courteous reception. The
Rev. Mr., French and Mr.. Tomlinson
were there, in their official capacity,
and large number of the colored
people, male and female, ,sof CoIum-
bia, were present, and seemed to
take much interest in the proceed

OPERATIONS Of BURGLARS IN THE 1umBs.
Futile Efforts to Escape from Prise,

Futile Efforts to Escape from Prison.
For several weeks past two men known by the
names OF william Wall and George Webster have
been confined In cell No. 80 second tier OF the Tombs
awaiting trial on complaints Of burglary. Subse-
quently Wall, by means OF trick and device, obtained
ticket OF egress from the prison from visitor, and
thus escaped without being recognized. He, how
ever, failed TO make good use Of his time and week
later was arrested in Brooklyn for attempting to
commit o burglary in that city, BY virtue ola bench
warrant Wall was taken from the Brooklyn suthori
ties and returned 10 his old quarters In the Tombs
day or TWO ago a woman pretending TO be Web
ster's wife called az the prison with a loaf OF brown
bread and some other things for her husband and was
allowed an interview with him at the cell door, when
the things were passed In TO him. After the woman
left Mr.. Mark Finley the bookkeeper OF the prison,
received Information that the loaf OF bread passed In to
Webster contained not only large Ole and two large
skeleton keys, but also pint bottle Of whiskey.
MIR. Finley assisted by deputy keepers Hogan and
Orr accordingly entered the cell In question and
made q search, which resulted In finding the keys
and file, likewise the bottle minus the whiskey.
Doubtless 1t was the intention OF both Wall and
Webster 10 use the tools furnished them to effect
their escape but the discovery and prompt action OF
Mr. Finley frustrated their designs. The prisoners
have been placed In separate cells and In few days
they will be arragned before the Court Of General
Sessions for trial. Warden Coulter and his deputies
are IN search OF the woman who Struggled the bur-
glarious implements into the prisoners cell.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The United states storeshp Guard, Captain Gorng,
was anchored of the Navy Yard yesterday forenoon,
aud those Of her crew whose time has expired were
transferred on board the receiving ship Vermont.
The Guard cleared from this port last February laden
with stores for the squadron under Admiral Farra-
gut she at once proceeded TO Lisbon where she
lay during four months. On the voyage out some
very rough weather was experienced, and at ono
time the greatest fears were entertained for her
safety. Being so compact and seaworthy the fine
little SHIP made good her destined haven
without the less Of q man or spar. The
only other European port made was Ovlta
Necchia where the statue Of Alexander Hamikon,
by Rogers was transferred on board. The Guard
proceeded thence TO Gibraltar. While In the port
Of Civta Necchla the crew received general liberty
and money sufficient % bear their expenses while
visiting the Eternal City," This was not the first
time that Yankee ars had gazed upon the pillar OF
TraJan or sported with the descendants OF Lavinia
In the precincts OF the Capitone Hill. The guards
OF the United States steamer Ticonderoga were trans
ferred to the st0reship when the latter was home
ward bound and oil the marines that Captain
Gorng took out were turned over TO the Ticonde-
roga, very much to their disappointment. Those
men only whose time had already expired were
brought home The Guard will not go out Of COM
mission for the present.

THE NATIONAL GAME.
Atlantic W, IryiuUton,

The home and home game between the above
named clubs came OF yesterday afternoon at Irving
tOn and resulted, the score will show, in victory
for the Atantics, after sharp encounter. The
Irvingtons played more like their old style in this
game than they have done before during the season.
Mills was at his old post, first base, and acquitted
himself nobly. NJ. Campbell was sharp and sure at
short, and II. Campbell filed the pitchers position
Ia beautiful style; he made five good stops, almost
direct from the bat, and 'mannedv the first twice,
when needed, with good effect On the Atlantic
side Kenny did the major portion of the work, and
the others, OF course attended well to all that came
to them.
The Atlantics after their glorious victory Of Thurs
day over the champions, somewhat moderated the
young Jerseymen &C the beginning, but they soon
found that the play still in the boys and they
would need to use all their force and tact to carry
them through successfully. They did succeed, how
obliged to work steadily to the end the following
score will show
