Murchison referred to the present position Of
DR.. Livingstone and the succor which is to be
sent to him. He said:
There have been great misapprehensions
about this affair, and l have received numer-
Gus applications from active young men arXl-
GUS to 20 in search of Dr.. Livingstone, suppos-
ing that there was real expedition about to
start from this country OF elsewhere.

before, but which was impeded by an attack
of cholera The cholera has passed away en-.
tirely, the country is free from Zanzibar, and
the only difficulty now is TO get to Uj1i, where
my dear and valued friend was and still is, for
he cannot move forward or backward without
carriers, supplies, &c. It will take two months
or more for those supplies to go from the sea-
board to Ujiji, therefore you must put aside
all anxiety for some months to come. hope
in about seven or eight months hence you will
hear good news, and that very soon after that
we shall see our friend again in his native
country.

The Tribune remarks editorialiy:

Corn and cotton In Brooks County, the
Quitman Banner says, are growing finely, al
though reports are In circulation that the cat
erpillar and rust have appeared. The Banner
saws: 'sIt is probable that the rust maybe con-
fined to meagre limits, and do but little dam
age, but we do not like the reports of caterpil
lar this early in the season. There can be no
doubt of their existence, for one Of the oldest
and most experienced planters Of Brooks In
formed us on last Monday that he had not only
seen, but thoroughly examined them,. and is
satisfied that they are the genuine cotton cat
erpillar.

The CRoPs.-"First cotton blooms are
making their appearance in every direction.
Several are reported from Marion County.
The Marion Crescent tells us that the present
hot dry weather is repairing to great extent
the damage caused by the recent continued
rains. From Barnwell, we hear of numbers
|of planters who have excellent corn, but OF
very few who have fine cotton. The Journal
says: .From present indications, there will
not be near as much cotton made in the dis
trict this season as last, though, If we have
good season from now out, everything may be
brought up all right, as the planters are all
working hard, and doing all in their power to
keep their crops in good order"

PLEASURE HUNTING.
From the Saturday Review.l

From the Saturday Review.
We really do not know how to amuse our
selves, and are forced to snatch at the hrst
preteXt that offers ltself, land to make believe
very hard that we are really enjoying our
selves. It Is duty not as yet generally recog-
are no more capable Of amusing ourselves
than Of fencing or playing the fiddle without
careful training and long practice. II the
object of moral teachers is to increase the
sum of human happiness, they should GER
tainly Indicate the cultivation OF the facul-
ties which are Immediately pleasant to the
individual as well as of those which are more
good thing to be scrupulously honest and
Industrious; but the most industrious and
honest OF men may lead q wretchedly
bare and Improbable life. Why should
he not study the theory of deriving the
greatest possible amount of innocent en-
joyment from the world which he tnhabits, as
well as that OF doing good to other people.
such an inquiry. The first would be the eX-
treme importance to every man of providing
himself with good serviceable hobby. Even
q cultivated taste for cookery or wines, is bet
ter than nothing, so long as 1t is kept within
certain bounds, and not only provides man
with an interesting pursuit, but certainly pro-
notes the comfort of his friends. We may ad-
nit, indeed, that this is at about the lowest
limit ofpermissible pleasure-seeking; but is 1t q
fair question for casuistry, whether q man
would spend day better In yawninS about
ace-course without any taste for horse-racinS,
or in pursuing with moderation course OF ex-
perimental inquiry into the art of dining.
There is another rule, however, which is OF
equal importance, and may be more unreserV-
edly stated. What an enormous advance would
be at once made in the art OF happiness, II peo-
pie could only be persuaded to O toleraole de-
gree ofsncerity The principle would cut both
ways. There are some things which every
body really likes, but for which, for some ar
bitrary fashion, 1t Is customary to avow con-
tempt; as there are many things which every
body hates, and yet which every one Is AFRAID
to denounce. One Of the greatest impedl-
ments to sound art is that both artists and
their admirers are SO much inclined to adopt 0
style recommended by some preconceiyed
theory as to overlook the important question
whether they really give and receive pleasure.
1t is true that, when we know whether poem
or picture pleases, there is a further question
whether it ought to please; but when the
habitual hypocrisy Of mankind leaves US in
complete uncertainty as to the first point, our
subsequent theoriZing is apt to be very unsat-
isfactory. There would be in one sense no dis
putting about tastes If we only knew which
tastes were genuine, though We might still ask
whether they were elevated; but as it Is, the
first, and often the utterly insoluble, question
is, whether we really like sO-called pleasure
or only persuade ourselves that we like it.

ST. JOINS DAY 1T BRANCHYILLE.

FFRoM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT
BRANcHv1LLE, June rs.
Friday last will long be remembered In
|Branchville, with pleasurable emotions, BY the
large crowd who were gathered to participate
with Branchvtlle Lodge, No. ITO, A. F. NJ, in
the celebration of Sts John the Baptist's day,
|one Of the patron saints Of Free Masonry
At 12 o'clock, the Lodge, with visiting breth-
rem from Allen, Harmony and Hope bodses,
were formed in procession by Brother
Isaac Bamberg, who acted as marshal,
and moved from thence to Main street,
up Main to Railroad avenue, down Rail
road avenue to Church street, and up
|Church street to the Baptist Church. Upon
|arriving at the church the procession was
halted, faced inwards and opened ranks, ana
the brethren entered the church by inverted
order. where they listened to discourses from
Rev. Brothers Thomas Raysor and Stanmore
|B. Sawyer. It would be out ofplace here TO
ATTEMPT any analyses of these addresses, as IL
would be impossible to do justice to the ora
tors in short sketch like this. The church
was crowded to its utmost capacity, not alone
the seats being occupied, but every available
nearly as many outside the church as were
lin It. The ladies were. out In full force,
lending their smiling encouragement, as they
always do, to every thing good.
The table was set in grove adjoining the
church, and the good things Of this life were
dispensed with lavishness which showed
that Ra are fast recovering from the effects OF
the w6 It was estimated that five hundred
persons were present on the occasion, and
Notwithstanding this large concourse, there was
not single incident which occurred to mar the
pleasure Of the day. At night, the young peo--
pie, who had procured the services Of the band
hom Orangeburg, determined to have fitting
close to so pleasant day by dance at the
hotel, the spacious dining room of which had
been offered for the occasion. "They closed
the glowing hours with flying feet" until the
wee small hours, when they broke up, satiated
with enjoyment.

THE VIRGINIA CADET.
Greeley's Comment ON his Manly and
straightforward Course.

A Washington dispatch Of Sunday TO the
New York Tribune says:
A case of much interest TO the boys Of the
South was decided by the Secretary OF the
Navy yesterday. youth named Baldwin Al
exander, from Pulaski County, Va, was ap-
pointed cadet at the naval academy by the
Hon. Mr. Gibson, of the eighth district OF Vir-
ginia Alexander, who is not yet II years of
age, underwent a thorough examination, and
passed at every point. He made favorable
impression upon the board OF examiners, as
we'll as the Secretary Of the Navy, and his ap-
pointment was confirmed. But when the IRON
clad, or test oath was put to him, he declined to
take it, asserting that, although he was g mere
child at the commencement of the war, and
but y years OF age at its close, yet his assoeia-
tions, surroundings, &C., had createdla sympa-
in his mind and heart for those around him,
and to swear that he had not sympathized
base perjury. aud he could not do so. His
honesty and candor elected encomiums from
the naval authorities, and Senator Johnson, of
Virginia, took the matter in hand, and tried to
have the youth admitted by lis taking the pro-
per constitutional oath. The law on the SUBJ
iect, however, seems 10 be imperative, and the
Secretary of the Navy to-day informed Senator
Johnson that Alexander could not be admitted
to the Academy as cadet, unless he subscrib-
ed to the iron-clad oath. Senator Johnson will
ask special Congressional legislation in his
case, and representative Platt, prominent
Virginia Republican member, has also stated
that he would ask the removal OF his disabl-
ties by The House, and that he be allowed to
enter the Academy without taking the iron
clad oath.
The Tribune remarks editorialiy:
We sincerely trust the young Virginian who
is debarred from admission to the Naval Acad.
emy because he declines to swear that ne mad
no sympathy in the rebellion in which his
family heartily enlisted, will not be any longer
prescribed. The test oath which boys are
called upon to take before admission to the
national schools are disgrace TO our statute
books. The more oath-taking the more lying
there will be, and the more we prescribe chill
dren for the rebellion OF their parents the
more that rebellion will be respected. The ad-
ministraton Of the test oath TO boy VINO was
only twelve years old when the war closed,
and who isstill minor, is an absurdity which
ought to secure the repeal of the statute.

Our Platform.
From the Columbia GuardIan.l


When one bears into consideration the object
oi the June convention; that Its. anlmatlng
princjple was reform in the State government;
that TO effect this reform cooperation Of both
classes Of our citizens is necessary, and that
the only hindrance to that cooperation is the
mooted question Of the political rights of the
colored people, the short, terse and pointed
declarations which make up the platform Of the
Union Reform party become possessed OF pc
cullar force, and are far preferable to those
yOluminous platitudes that commonly charac-
terize similar papers.
In plain, direct and unmistakable language,
it announces the determination on the part Of
the native white citizens to cease all opposl-
tion to those unconstitutional laws which have
advanced the coored people to the rights OF
citizenship. This is the keynote Of the plat
form, the continued sounding OF which VIII
make the plundering political wolves of the
ruling faction tremble in every limb ere the
fall elections are over. It removes in mo-
ment tile baneful cause of discord and anmos
ity between whites and blacks, and sounds the
political death-knel to those who have been
hoisted into office by increasing the same.
