TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
A friend has just called my attention to q
telegraphic paragraph published in your issue
Of the LIST instant Az I have been misrepre-
sented there and elsewhere, take the liberty
OF stating that the remarks Imade on the oc-
casion referred TO-, were not as chairman of the
Committee on Education, but as one OF the
Committee on Agriculture.
In the absence OF DR.. Parker, it's distinguish
ed head, Was requested to report, and 10 SUBJ
stance said, In alluding to tho subject under
consideration, that It was not At al Surprising
that South Carolina should be In her present
deplorable condition. According to my un :
derstanding, South Carolina never was pros
porous, even when afffuent, and the reasons
| are. obvious. She has always had class legia-
lation, and class education, and however able
sci deoGnt" legislators may have been in their
speciality. as guardians Of the States resources,
they overlooked the Importance Of scientific
education (by no means intuitive,) which alone
makes State prosperous.
| The Agricultural and Mechanical Sooiety OF
South Carolina was formed 20 advance the ma
terial interests OF the State. 8 scientifc edUca
ton Is then necessity, and In conclusion, I
remarked that .'civilisation, only .advancea
through Il sSisaceS. There is no prosperity
without art-no art without science--no sci
ence without q knowledge OF those laws which
the Almighty has made inherent to all matters,
and which laws govern the universe. Science
is the measure Of q nations power and
strength, and with it you may hope all things;
and ~ had the power, would make scientJi<
education obligatory

AUGUSTA, May 11.-Joseph Atkins, Radical
senator from Warren County, was shot in the

THE NEW YORK HERALD is hammering as hard
for war as it did for the nomination Of Admi-
raj Farragut for President, and will succeed
about as well. 1t says:
"On the Alabama claims the upshot of Sem
ator Summers exhaustive and conclusive expo
sition Of the case for the United States has
been put into nutshell by Wendell Phillips,
in this demand-a full pecuniary recompense
for the damages suffered by our commerce
from Anglo-rebel cruisers. and distinct dis
avowal Of Lord RusselPs neutrality and bel
ligorent rights OF 1861 as precedent for the
future guidance Of England. Now, as with
the acceptance Of this uItimatum the most
convenient settlement to both countries will
be the cession Of British North America,
so with the rejection Of this ultimatum
by England the occupation Of the New Do
minion will be the most convenient alter
native for the United States. For this al
tentative, upon call for volunteers, two hum
dred and fifty thousand trained soldiers could
be mustered along our Northern border within
sixty days. Senator Chandler's late speech on
this subject was rather stump harangue from
Western demagogue than the argument OF
responsible American statesman; but still his
leading idea is fixed in the public mind Of the
great Northwest. Those people, as to natural
outlet for their heavy surplus products, are
looking now to the opening Of the st. Law
renee to the sea, with something Of the same
feeling which led them against the hate rebel
lion to the reopening Of the Mississippi"

A reform Club.

The Round Table proposes the establish
meat of Reform Club in New York city
for the purpose of promoting free trade
the exposure and punishment Of corruption
in public servants, the representation OF
minorities, the abolition of an elective Ju-
dietary, and other measures tending to good
government and public prosperity. The
scheme is a good one. A club is q very
good way of organizing the partisans OF
new ideas or new measures into compact
ness and efficiency. The cause of the free
traders would gain very much if they had
q pleasant club house, Offering all the at
fractions of agreeable society, q COM
Portable and inexpensive restaurant, and
reading rooms and parlors in which gentle
men Of like views could meet for conversa'
tion and general social intercourse. But
we doubt whether there is sufficient ripe
ness of sentiment among the gentlemen who
agree, for the most part, upon the subjects
in question, to render the formation Of such
q club practicable as yet The political
divisions connected with the war arc still
too strongly marked for such new move
ment to be successful. For instance, there
are many Republicans who are free traders,
lust as there are many Democrats who are
opposed to the elective judiciary; but they
will hardly combine at present in opposi-
ton to the general policy Of their respec-
tive parties. The Round Table has brought
forth proposition which will doubtless
take effect at some future day, but can
hardly be realized at present.
