''The Chinese Problem" and "What
shall we do with John Chinaman ?" are
now tho favorite topics of Northern pa
pers, which have wnxed themselves into
the belief that new social difficulty is
arising in this country. This is all folly.
The question can be answered in four
words: "Send him to u.s. We have
plenty of room, plenty of labor for him,
and we will not be incommoded by his
peculiarities, to which Northern papers
attach SO much Importance. To be sure,
John will interfere, to some extent, with
the blessed negro, who cannot compete
with him long in fair field.

Novel weapons were lately used by q
husband and wife, in Trenton, N. j., in
q quarrel while at tea. The man, stung
into passion by the sharp and bitter
tongue OF his wife, first picked up boy
and flung him at her; but this novel
missile, after bowling through the air
Ikea screaming shell, brought up against
the stove, and exploded in q series of
terrific yells. Tho man then snatched
up another child and hurled it at his
wife. This one struck with dull thud
against the wall, and the uproar became
dreadful. The father was then about to
seize the baby, when the wife, who had
been somewhat astonished at these ex-
traordinary proceedings, picked up o
coifee-pot filed with the beverage hot
from the stove, and hurled it with SO
true an aim and SO vigorous an arm. MS
to bring the infuriated man to the floor
and to torms at one and the same time
The children fortunately were not Sc
riously hurt.

MR. EDIroB: At the late meeting OF
the Charlotte, Columbia, and Augusta
Railroad, these gentlemen were left out
in the new board. For the best interests Of
Columbia these gentlemen opposed con-
solidation, as they did not desire to see
the capital a way y-side station. Hence,
Columbia writes their epitaph thus:
Stranger, go tell it at Lacedemon, that
they died in obedience to her laws"

Hope. She was never heard of again
until few days since her history and
the history of all her crew became pub.
lics A typhoon in the Indian Ocean
threw her out of her course, dismasted
her, broke her rudder, and tossed her to-
wards Oceanica. Bad weather lasted
thirty days, and when fair weather re-
turned she struck upon coral reef, and
the exhausted crew were scarcely able to
take refuge in boats.
It was moonless, starless night when
this accident occurred. They rowed
wildly, and thanked God when the
breaking day showed them harbor,
surrounded by charming landscape.
They reached land and laid down to
sleep. When they awoke, they found
themselves bound hand and foot, and
surrounded by savages. Their captors
proved to be cannibals. Eleven Of them,
their captain included, were slain and
eaten. Three others contrived (how,
does not appear,) to make their escape,
but they were mutilated. The ono who
succeeded in reaching Europe has one
arm cut off and one eye torn ont. The
three reached remote part OF the island,
where they found canoe and embarked
in it, preferring the risk of being de-
voured by sharks to the certainty Of be-
ing killed and eaten by cannibals For
tunately they found themselves in nm
archipelago,ia ,iand were able to go easily
from one island to another. After wan
dering for some time, moving as rapidly
MS possible away from the cann;bals'
home, George Samazon's two conpa-
Mons died OF exhaustion
He remained alone, mutilated, hope
less, upon frail canoe. He neverthe-
less continued to push on, touching land
only when necessary to sleep and to get
water and food. He ate shcll-fsh and
roots. One day he reached tho last is
land of the group, and nothing lay before
him but the wild ocean. He set to work
to build raft. 1t took him year. He
launched it. The waves threw it back on
the island. He several times tried to
put it to sea, but constantly failed. He
resolved TO turn his footsteps landward,
but in different direction from the can.

crossed desert, fell again into savages
hands, once moro escaped from them,
by venomous insects; his face scabbed
by tho bites Of mosquitoes. At last,
nearer dead than alive, he came upon

three years, and had crossed South
America on foot! The white men re.

A HELL1sH PLoT UNCOVERED. The
New Era publishes letter from Frank
Joseph, Northern Methodist preacher,
who, in his professional travels in Geor-
gin, found darkies who said they were
acting under instructions to procure the
rrgroes to kick up row with the
whites, and get the State out of the
Union. They were to have forty acres
and mules for doing it.
Frank Joseph is colored man, for
merly slave of Mr.. Vivion Holmes, of
this place, and is now preacher or ex-
horter, or something of the sort, of the
Radical Methodist Church, and is now
engaged about Whitesville, Harris Coun-
ty, in his ministerial capacity. We have
had many transactions with Joseph
when he used to work out by the day,
and in justice to him, we must say we
always found him honest and truthful;
and if he gave the above information to
the Era, we Ere prepared to believe every
word of it--and we do not believe he
would make false statement. especially
when it was calcula ted to inure to the
discredit of his own people.

the belief that firm who would look so

The SUEz CANAL.-The New York
Herald has an article on the opening of
the Suez Canal, which takes place in
September next. It gathers from all
accounts that this occasion, which celc-
brates the connection of the Red Sea
and Indian Ocean with the Mediterra-
mean and the Atlantic, will be conducted
with O royal gathering and regal splen-
doris never surpassed or approached in
the grandest celebrations of ancient or
modern times. It says all the poten-
tates and powers of the great divisions
of the earth will be represented on the
occasion. The Empress Eugene, in the
name of France and this Franco -Eeyp-
tian work, is to assist in the ceremonies;
one or moro of the princes and princess
es.of England will be present, and the
Eiceroy Of Egypt will devote 1000, 900
francs i'll behalf Of the representatives of
the newspaper press. 200 European
journals will be represented, and alto
gether the celebration is destined to be
one Of the wonders Of the modern world.
1t says:
The idea Of ship canal across the de-
sert Isthmus of Suez, between sixty and
seventy miles, is older than the Pyra-
mids; but like the mystery of the inun-
uhLlOuS Auu lIlc sources OF the mighty
Nile, it has passed down to our nine
teenth century for its practical solution.
An English explorer, Sir Samuel Baker,
having completely solved the Nile
sources, its unfailing stream and it's an
nual overflow, has been commissioned
by the Egyptian Pacha, on large and
liberal scale, to head an expedition to
the great Nile lakes of the equator, in
view OF making the length of Egypt
the length of the river, which flows
through some thirty-fve degrees of lati-
tude. On the other hand, some French
engineers, having shown the feasibility
OF the Suez Canal, the Pacha engages the
French to excavate it, and draws upon
the wild Arabs for their wsrkmen, thus
bringing the influence, the foremost
minds and the best appliances of the two
greatest European powers into his SER
vice with the children of the desert. The
Sultan of Turkey, then, who owes the
preservation of his empire to England
and France, has reason to be proud of
his progressive and sagacious Egyp-
tiau Viccroy.

Don Piatt, the accomplished radical
letter writer from Washington, expresses
his sentiments as follows:
We complain that these Southern peo-
pie do not accept the situation, and look
the inevitable in the face Arc we not
guilty of the same error? The difference
of nationality led to n bloody war, in
which we laid waste wide fields, burned
the homesteads, and killed the best be-
loved, and yet propose, by a few crude
statutes, to wipe out the deadly antago-
nism, and make tho people so punished
q patriotic, peaceful, loving body of citi-
zens.
Had we attempted this in good faith,
we would yet be fighting the inevitable;
but feeling the impossibility of such re-
suit, we have, in fact, used our power to
benefit ourselves. Our so-called Recon
struction Acts serve New England, and
not the South. The net pnrport and
upshot of the business is, to have body
of men in Congress from the Southern
States who represent the money interests
of Yankeedom. We call them carpet
baggers. I met one, at the opening of
the holidays last winter, carpet-bag in
hand, making for the depot.
"Whither bound?" I cried.
'tHome, for few days.
"What, going South?"
''Devil a bit; am making for Connec-
ticut, to see my family"
He did not call the land of his consti-
tuents home; of course not Nor does
he consider the interest of his political
locality, but votes steadily with the ma
nufacturing capital of his old home.

INITIATE THE EENEMY.-Under this head
the Montgomery Mail gives the party
sensible advice, which every man in it
will do we'll to read, to ponder, and then
to follow:
There is one thing in which we should
like to see our friends initiate the enemy
in this anvass-that is, in vigilance and
activity. The carpet-baggers are hard
workers, and will leave nothing undone
to make vote. The Democrats and
Conservatives cannot afford to remain
idle now; there is too much at stake
Let them watch the enemy, and meet
and defeat him at all points. Attack
him in front, flank and rear, giving him
no rest day nor night. Work Lard, and
work in concert.

The CoTroN CROP AaA1N.-The New
Orleans Commercial Bulletin corrects the
statement of the New York Herald that
the cotton crop of the present year will
be double that of 1868. The Bulletin is
of opinion that the present crop, if
gathered in good order, will be larger
than the last, but not in anything like
the ratio of two to one. The crop of
last year was greatly diminished by
casualties which occurred toward the
season of gathering, and the same may
be the case with the crop of this year,
The breadth of land planted this is some
what greater than that planted last year,
but the Bulletin calls attention to another
element of uncertainty which has been
introduced into the cotton production
that is, the uncertainty of the labor at
present employed. The Bulletin ex-
presses the opinion that the hope of q
surplus of cotton in tho future rests upon
the substitution of other laborers, to q
large extent, to supply the vacuum.

LIFE INSURANCE.-We would call the
attention Of our readers to the following
very hattering notice of the Piedmont
Life Insurance Company, of Richmond,
Va, which is taken from the Richmond
Enquirer-a paper published at the very
door Of the Office of the Piedmont Com
pany. This company is having an un-
precedented success, and judging from
this notice, together from all we have
heard in regard to it, we have no doubt
but it is destined to take rank, side by
side, with any company on either side of
the ocean. The mere fact that this COM
pany is going to locate branch Office in
this State, and loan every dollar, received
for life insurance in the Stale, to its own
citizens, ought to commend the company
to the patronage of the people of the
South:
SUCCESS ExTRAoRDINARY-THE PIED
MONT STILL HEADS THE LIST. The bust
ness of this Virginia enterprise exhibits
tho most remarkable success of this age,
and the caution and prudence it exhibits
in all departments proclaims it's success
to be permanent In one single day,
last week, this company issued 129 poll
cies, carrying S465, 900 of risks, on which
the premiums were over $4,000 Five
of the policies were single payments, or
paid up, on which the cash premium was
over SIT, 900.
We think this immense business, in
one day, could safely be staked against
any company on this continent, and GER
tainly far exceeds any company of its
age. Verify, the Piedmont may properly
be christened 1.-The Virginia Giant OF
