A word to the wise.

. "A Word to the Wise.
The Charleston Ns,cs, of tho 18th, in
sconsidering the question, s.Hoio Shall ,ss
Redeem ae STATE, . contrasts the views of
the Edgeheld Adpasise. with those Of
the Winnsboro Ne,Os- the former pro-
posing the immediate pnttinga Of the
Demo ocracy upon . war footing. and the
latter advocating O conseryative-republi-
can rols. 4 The EChaFlesten sNssss admits
the great iEportanoe OF our carrying the
ssestions in 1870 but dissents from the
policy Of The Winnsboro Ne,os-as being
hasardoua and OF very questionable pro-
priety,. The Neacs further remarks. that
there appears to be some doubt among
the conservative people in this State as
. to what '.plan OF battle will most GER
tainly be successfuE in 1870.
The interest taken In this subject of
\ sredeemipg the State from the rule that
.,now: prevails, we are glad to see. That
! interest can scarcely be- too absorbing,
slnor; can il too soon engage the, mind of
{ s The patriot in South Carolina. But in
'tthis opinion we are emphatic, that, it, is
premature, now to discuss ethe plan of
battle" The Intelligent people Of South
Carolina are united - political sentiment,
and will adhere. 70. those political oon-
victiohs which they entertain. except so
far as these convictions may be modified
by eventa and circumstances beyond
their control The game of politics,
slshoagh il should ever be toned with
prinninle u.s. q practical one. At all
times, itsis uRwise, in the matter of
parties to develop line Of policy too
far in advance Of She period when the
battle - to be fought. AT this time in
South Carolinas it is especially unwise to
lay down now a course Of action to be
adhered toxin the future. The general
political principles that should lie upheld
lin our State these may be put forth in
season and out of season ); but as to the
details ofpolitical raanag cement, we would
throw ont to our friends this caution
that this subject be reserved for the de-
yelopments of the future-at least, so far

A BEAR KILLED.-A large bear was
killed on Sunday, the 9th instant. about
six miles from Conwayboro, by Jackson
Fowler, Everett Watts, and others. The
Horny Nelcs says he had been killing
hogs in the neighborhood, and was
routed up, and all the dogs in the vicini-
ty put after him. The chase is reported
as q fine one. The bear weighed 116
pounds net weight.
A Washington letter says: "Nearly a
hundred small post offices in various sec
tions Of the country, mostly Southern,
however, have been discontinued in con-
sequence of the negligence of the post
masters to make returns, thereby allowing
their names to go on the black list of the
Sixth Auditors Office"
ALASKA A.-This Territory cost the
United States over 81 100000. Itis now
pronounced to be of no value except for
seal fisheries, and these are in possession
of q single company. Two companies of
'boys in blue" remain to uphold the
stars and stripes; the rest is rheumatism
and dismal snow.
On Sunduy night last, in Salisbury, n.
G., the stables of the Mansion House

Coop ADVICE. recent marriage
Of daughter of Joseph Joslins, Esq,
of Poultney, VT, the following advice
was haded to the bride by her father, ac-
companied by many greenbaoks. We
recommend its prayerful perusal and re-
membrance by newly married couples.
They are truly "words of wisdom" and
deserving to be framed in every house

2. Never both maintain anger at the
same time.

each other.

sence of others.
5. Never find fault or fret about what
cannot be helped.
g. Never repeat an order or request
when understood.
7. Never make q remark at others ex-
pense.

other.
8. Love the Lord and serve Him faith
fully all the days of thy life.

POPULAR STATISTICS OF RoME.-The
ecclesiastical authorities of Rp.ne have
just published census for the present
year. These statistics show that the
regular clergy is composed Of 2,265 per-
sons, thus divided: Cardinals, 80:
bishops, Sc; priests and clerks, 1866;
leges. 841; the religious communities
count 5,2l5 souls, 1853 mon and 2,256
women; the lay population amounts to
1877, 1893; soldiers in garrison, 10,207;
prisoners under sentence, 32S; Protest
ants, 637; and Jews, 2,6S2; making n
total of 220, $50, or an increase of 1854
over the year 1868. The number of car
dinals residing in the Eternal City has
remained nearly the same during ten
years, never having been below %, nor
above "a; at present it is 32. The same
remark does not apply to the bishops,
who have never been so few. In 1864
they counted 40, at this moment they are
no more than 26. Priests and regular
clerks have also diminished during the
last decennial period, the number never
being 80 low. In 1864 it was 1,5O4; at
present it is 1886. On the other hand,
the members of religious communities
have augmented: In 1860, the males
were 1880. and the females 2,O31. The
progression has been constant, and the
figures now are 1850 and 2,256, This
increase is explained by the con6scation
of the Church property in Italy, and the
expulsion of the monks and nuns
from their nonasteries and cohvents,
many of them having sought an asylum
in Rorr g. .-London Times.

My WFE.-Observe with what love
and respect the good man and worthy
husband speaks Of that dear creature
whom God has given him for a compa-
nion through life. Note his actions and
observe his better half, and you will see
that her image is reflected in him. I
care not how great man he may be;
care not how austerc aud strong minded
he may be; 80 that he loves her. Her
influence is felt every day, and her
loving words and feminine dependence
exerts power within him which other
wise might have slumbered unknown
and forgotten. In the language OF Bull
wer, cher image CLOSED in his soul,
lures him on to those inspiring tolls by
which man masters men," Our greatest
statesmen, our greatest heroes, all attri-
butte their success in life to the potent
influence of either wife or mothers

something to stimulate him and raise

the cares and anXieties of an everyday
life usually plunge him.

Press copies of old letters of manu-
script can be taken, it is said, by press
ing the pages on the dampened paper in
the usual way, and then applying the
vapor of ammonia. Although no result
may appear to follow the first operation,
we are assured that after the second the
letters will appear distinctly on the
dampened paper. Another method con-
sists in daupening the manuscript with
a solution of sugar, honey, or mucila-
genous matter, and then applying the

to the effect that the Representatives in

American system of complete severance
of the church from the State, restoring
to it full liberty of motion untrammeled
by the political power of the country,
and basing it upon the voluntary adhe-

renouncing all active interference with
the political administration of govern

in fact. the American prelates may exer-

Tho In-coming Cotton Crop.

There is every prospect this year of
large cotton crop. La the year. 1859 60
the year before the war-the cotton crop
of the United States amounted to 5,196,
944 bales, of 400 pounds each. Last
year, it amounted to 2, 2,430,S93 This
year, it gill probably reach 2,5Oo,0O
bales. What. now, is the prospect of
high prices being realized? We think
good. The cotton interests of Europe
and America alone require, it is esti-
mated. an annualsupply of over G. 100000
of bales; whereas the present available
production of the world will not, this
year, amount to 5000, 900 bales. Fhe
following estimate has been made for
this years cotton crop:
East India. 80. 49,. 1,5Oo, 900 bales
Egypt. ................. 100000
Turkey. Levant. &e. -. 12,500
Brazil, Peru and West
India. ......... ........ 707, 500
United States. ,........ 1850, 900
All other sources. ...... $4,000
Making. g.............. 5000, 900 bales
Now, il the worlds consumption
amount to 5000, 600 bales, we have an
apparent deficit in supply in the raw
material of 1000, 900 bales at the end of
the present year. If these figures be cor
rect-and DeBoto's Reoie,o is our au-
thority-there is every probability. of
the present high crop of cotton being
maintained. Let this exhibit slim dlate
the energies of cotton producers. Let
the farmer work on indust,iously until
his crop has been gathered, and in secur-
ing his own interests, he will be advanc-
ling the interests Of the public.
A Georgia paper, III little taste and
less Judgment, sneers 1t South Carolinas
devotion to cotton-making, at the ex-
pense of political activity. Let us say
to our cotemporary that, in the present
condition of our State and her people,
we deem it pious task to whiten some
fields with cotton and to make others
gladden. the sight with corn and wheat
and oats and rye. The intelligence,
worth and substance of Georgia now
control the ballot; but here. in South
Carolina, those elements will reach the
] goal that Georgia has already won, only
by passing through work shops, and cot
ton and corn fields. Industrial develop
ment at once causes and sustains right
full political adjustment. Upon the
Foundation of our industries, let the
ffemple of our restored liberties rest
Broad, solid and majestic.
