MEAT MORE PROFITABLE THAN COTTON
The Winnsboro' Neps, in an editorial display
ing sound wisdom and good practical sense,
says: -,
report proves by statistics that the number of
sheep in the United States has decreased 25
per cent. within a few years, being less by mil
lions than in 1860, while the number of sheep
eating men has increased by millions Recent
Investigations prove that this same alarming
decrease has also taken place in the number
of cattle and hogs in the United States. The
consumption of meat is far in excess OF Its
production. With our immense immigration
continuing, the demand for meat, for years to
come, is Obliged to exceed the possibility OF
an adequate supply. Every consideration OF
interest therefore, should urge our land own
ara tn nav immediate and continued attention
to the raising of stock. Thomas Jefferson
was q great stock raiser, as well as a. great
farmer, and the inventor of the modern plough.
He with great shrewdness, employed shep-
herds and herdsmen to attend to his stock,
exclusive of all other business. 1t will always
pay to do SO. Why do our planters not inn
port shepherds and herdsmen from Scotland |?
Let them not dream of making as much by
cotton as by stock raising, for several years /;
for the high price of meat is not accidental,
but due to an excess of demand over supply,
that promises to outlast, by long time, the
temporary scarcity of cotton.

SUICIDE.-Our citizens were startled on
Monday evening last by the announcement
that Mr.. Edwin l.. Levin had committed SUI
eide at Mrs. Gewinner's Hotel, in this place,
bv shooting himself through the head with a
pistol. Mr.. Levin was in his store as usual s
until about half-past two O'Clock, attenalng
to his business. He walked from MS STORE
down the street to the hotel, and spoke, to
several persons there, and Immediately walked
into passage way in the rear part OF the
house, where he engaged in some converse
ton with lady friend, during which time
he drew a small pocket pistol and said ne was
poing to shoot himself, at the same time ma
King the attempt to put the pistol to his
head. The lady jerked his hands down and
begged him to desist, and eudeavored to give
the alarm; but this, we are informed, excited
him still more, and he unloosed the hold OF
his friend and shot himself before she could
reach the adjoining room. The ball entered
the forehead centrally, passing directly through
the brain and lodging in the back part OF the
head, killing him almost instantly.
Mr.. Levin was young merchant OF our
village, and was much esteemed for his staunch
and correct principles and general good de,
meanor as citizen. He had just returned
the night before from short visit few
miles from the village, and appeared to be in
his usual spirits, exhibiting no indication OF
any mental arrangement He was slightly
under the influence of liquor at the time he
committed the fatal act, but was, apparently,
perfectly rational. What induced him to de-
stroy himself is mystery to every one

FALSE EDUCATION Glass distinctions id
American society, defined by the amount of
money possessed by individuals, h have Of late
the country in discussing the subject of false
education. Sons and daughters are brought
up with extravagant tastes, false notions of
respectability, and without proper preparaion
for filling useful and remunerative places in o
worI,-a-day world. Fathers are overworkeds
and overburdened with care and anxiety to-
maintain their families in luxurious idleness,
and style which does not permit any prepa-
ration for the future, By-and-by the over.
tasked, premature broken man dies, or meets
with reyerses which he has net energy left to
rise above. Then comes the collapse. The
false position vanishes when poverty appears.
From helpless, ignoble dependence on the hus-
band and father, in afluence or its stimulation,
the family are reduced to wretched dePen-
dence on the cold charity of world which
cares not fig for their antecedents, and really
values them only according to their market sdi
value as workers.

The President has issued proclamation,
setting forth that it has come to his knowledge
that sundry illegal military enterprises and ex-
peditions are on foot within the United States,
with view to carry on the same against the
people and district Of Canada, within tne 40 40,

therefore, thereto admonishes ali good citizens Of the

them from the consequences of their own act.
He enioins all officers of the United States to

vent and defeat the aforesaid unlawful proceed

POLITICAL DIaABILITES-Ihe Washing.
ton correspondent of the New York World
writes as follows:
Applications for the removal of political dis
abilities continue to be received in large NUM-
bers. In the Senate they are referred to the
Special Committee on that subject, and In the
House to the Committee on Reconstruction.
Some of the petitioners admit that they made
great mistake in taking part against the Uni
ted States in the late war but. if Congress
will forgive them they will try to make amends,
and do all in their power to advance the honor
and interests of the country. Others ask the
favor without promising to act better IN the
future Not few complain 2that under the
amendment to the Constitution they are de.
barred from holding Office under the United
States, and although they have no official po-
sition in view, they do not like to remain um-
der the ban. Constables, justices 'of the peace,
and such like officers, say they were in.place
when the rebellion broke out and continued
therein without interruption. Their hearts
we're not in the war, but they yielded to cir.
cumstances they could not; control. Therefore
it seems hard that they should come under the
prohibitory clause. -.
Letters are written to members of Congress,
indorsed by well-known Union men, asking for
the removal of political disabilities. D; Among
the petitions presented yesterday was one from
John Anderson, of Rutherford County, N. G.,
who, at the peril of his life, concealed and fed
Union soldiers as they escaped from Southern
prisons. Mr. Anderson, Of his own mere mo.
tion, desires that certain of his neighbors may
be relieved of their political disabilities. Some
of those neighbors; when he was driven from
his home, and was an exile, although they were
engaged in the rebellion themselves, took him
beneath their roofs and kindly ed;and con-
cealed him. He desires now, as q return for
their kindness, that their disabilities be re-
moved. - - ~ ~

ExTRAoaDtNARY NIGHT SESSION. .--The
United States Senate, remained in session all
night on Friday, 2ethinst Thee ecorfesponaent
of the New York World gives the annexedsac-
count of the proceedings on this extraordinary
occasion:
The night. session of the Senate which ended
at n o'clock Saturday morning in the passage
of the bill to enforce the; fifteenth and feur-
teenth amendments, was in many respects the
most extraordinary Of the season. The Senate
was frequently without quorum and oneo the
votes was so evidently taken without a quorum
that Mr.. Thurman aptly illustrated the decis-
ion Of the presiding officer that there Was
quorum with the story of Richard Brinsley
Sheridan and Charles James Fox, who entered
the House of Commons late one night arm in
arm. Said Charley to Dick: "By all that is
blue, 1 can't see the Speaker; say, Dick, can
your "See the Speaker" said Dick >" why,
I swear it is true, for I see the Speaker. BY
Jove, see two" The gallant and persistent
fight made by the Democrats, especially by Mr..
Thurman and Mr.. Casserly, was with no hope
of defeating the bill as a whole, but, as an
nounced by Mr.. Thurman at the outset, for the
reasonable purpose of securing debate upon
it, which would shear it Of SOME of its most
Objectionable features and render it at least
consistent. Every effort falling to secure q
postponement of the vote till Saturday OF Mon
day, they relinquished the struggle only when
it was entirely hopeless. The yeas and nays
were called eleven times during the night. In
the intervals most of the Senators were either
absent or asleep. Fifty-one Senators voted ON
the final passage of the bill Twenty-one we're
absent during the whole night. Just preceding
the last vote Mr.. Thurman said 'Mr. Presi-
dent, think hazard nothing in saying that
there is not one Senator in this chamber who
knows what this bill now is. I see Senators
here who have gone to their homes and had 8
comfortable rest, while others Of us have sat
up through the weary hours of the night
see other Senators here who have quietly slept
on sofas while amendment after amendment
has been made to this bill, and only aroused
from. their slumbers when there was division
of the Senate, or when their presence was ne
cessary in order to make quorum. g Now, the
result is that after the sun has risen this bill is
before this Senate without one Senator knowing
what it is, and it is here, as the Senator from
Oregon properly characterized it, 'ascongloine-
ration of incongruities and contradictions
That is what it is. Now, Mr.. President, for
the credit of the Senate, for the welfare of the
country, I do ask that this bill may becommit-
ted to the Committee on the judiciary, that it
may come out in some respectable shape Mr..
Casserly followed in similar strain. They
might as well have appealed to drove of stub
born oxen. The judiciary COMMITTEES had had
enough of this bill. 1t was then read q third
time and passed by aparty votes to b. sssz5

DEATH OF J. EDGAR FARNUM.-We find in
the New York papers notice of the death OF
Brigadier- General J. Edgar Farnum, which oc-
Cured in that city on the 18th instant Gen.
Farnum will be remembered by many of our
citizens as the Col. Farnum whose connection
with the Wanderer (the first and only vessel
owned in Georgia that ever brought cargo of
slaves from Africa to her shores) caused such a
sensation in the country just previous to the
war. The deceased was, we believe, with Gen.
Walker, the 'tgrey-eyed man Of destiny" in the
Nicaragua expedition. He afterwards attemp-
ted to reopen the African slave trade in con-
nection with parties interested in the yacht
Wanderer. For his participation in that en-
terprise he was arrested by the United States
authorities, and with several Others citizens of
Georgia was tried before the United States
Court, Judge Wayne presiding, for violation
of the laws for the suppression of the African
slave trade. The excitement which grew
out of that trial, and the personal difficulty
which resulted from it, will be remembered by
many of our citizens. Col. Farnum, as he was
then called, commanded the Wanderer, and at
tempted to escape with her to sea, while she
was held condemned SLAYER by the United
States authorities. He behaved gallantly
throughout the Wanderer affair, and enlisted
the strong sympathy of the citizens of Savan-
nah, who stood by him during his trial and i'm
prisonment. After his release at the opening
Of the war, he returned to New York, where,
to the surprise of his Southern friends, he en-;
tered the Union service as Lieutenant Colonel
of the Fire Zouaves, commanded by Col. Ellis
worth, who was killed in Alexandra, Virginia,
by Thos. Jackson, proprietor of the Marshall
House Hotel in that city. Gen. Farnum's life
was one of adventure. BE fought through the
war against those whom he had at one time
claimed as his friends, and at the time OF mis-
death held the rank of Brigadier er-General,, &C,
quired in the service of Government whose
laws, as SLAYER, he had set at defiance

REMARKS OF EX-SECRETARY
SEWARD.

Following are extracts from the re
marks Of exSecetary Seward in San
Francisco in response to the toast
"to California's fast friend and dis.
tinguished guest, Hon. William H
Seward"
Continents on the Earth are like plan.
ter stmosphere, their internal iires and
forces, their attractions and repulstOns.
They are Influenced by attractions and re-
pulsiOns Of other continents and exert q
corresponding influence upon them. The
operations Of all these forces, tends be-
yOnd doubt to the establishment and pre-
servatiOn Of moral, political, and social
equilibrium. The operation, however,
while going on must produce excitement,
Who now can wonder that when this
American continent Of ours became for
the first time theater Of enlightened hu-
man activity, with the object Of develop
ing its resources and making II . social
power, the native Indian races who refu-
sed to accept the discipline and the bless
ings of civilization. began everywhere to
decline: Who can wonder that the
strong, sturdy, impetuous settlers IN the
agonIes produced by \ realizing sense of
the magnitude of their labor, and their
utter feebleness to effect II without exte-
rior help, bought and stole the African and
brought him away from his native Tree
dom TO work the mines and the fields Of
this richer and more extensive continent:
Who now can wonder that the down
trOden and exhausted peasanfry and arti-
zans Of Western Europe rs fast AS facili-
ties for their migration could be obtained,
have awaited themselves OF the asylum
this continent has offered them Who
can wonder now, that the OvercrOwded
Of the Asiatic shore, have
rushed by thousands upon thousands to
share in the treasure Of our mountains
and the great wealth Of our forests, plains
and prairies: Who does not see In these
several movements that irresistible force
which, according to their different senti-
ments, concerning Overruling power, men
call Destiny or Providence: Who does
not see that these forces, which We thus
call Destiny and Providence, are, after
all, human wants, human aspirations
and ambitions. which will work out their
end whether we know il or not consent to
IL or not, favor il or not. by one means or
by another: Under other conditions the
miners Of California would have invaded
China and brought its heather people |
here, as their fOrefathers invaded Africa |
and brought its heather inha bitants here. |
Under other conditions, = ssardier but |
