Tho Augusta (Ga y Chronicle says
"a census Of the State Of South Caro-.
Hns, taken In 1900, has just been
mndc public, from which 1t appears
that the total population Is now IO0,'
022, m increase Of but 2,3l4 over the
census of 1860. There are, us shown
by this census, $3.50 less white males
of all ages now in the State than there
we're in 1861, and ll,sl2 less negro
males; while an increase Of 9,SO6
white and 9,460 negro females ap-
pears. or tho thirty districts into
Which South Carolina is isdivided, nine
teen show decrease and eleven an
increase of population-the increase
in tho Charleston district being Co..
0s9, and almost every one of the Sup
country districts" or those where the
whites were moro numerous in slave
times, exhibiting an average decrease
OF $500; showing the tendency Of the
negro population towards the sea
coast. The entire number Of white
males 2l and upwards now in the
State is given as 6i,0T7 and of negro
males 81 and upwards 04,t2s-a
negro majority of S0,95l. The num-
Der of white children between 6 and
l6 shows an increase of 2,97l over the
number Of those ages in 1861 the
negro like increase is 1858. The
population of Charleston, it may be
added, is set forth as 1923; whites,
2O,S53 negroes, 1850; and 5,337
more females than males"
The man must be very ignorant, or
blinded with fanaticism who does not
see that the twin evils, loyalty and
freedom will prove physical death and
final extinction TO the negro race.
Proving conclusively that the Radi-
Gals who claim to be the peculiar
friends of the negro are really their
mortal enemies.

How TO KILL WEST PoiNr.-Mr
Butler, Of Massachusetts, did, it ap.
pears, really nominate n nigger for
the military school, but with his usual
acute discrimination he nominated
one who was ineligible. Somebody,
however, will now nominate another (;
and nigrcr cadet is foregono con.
clusion Of the radical mind. This will
pretty cfIectually drive the right sort
of boys away from West Point, aud
leave there ouly snivelling hypocritcs,
willing to make believe that they arc
as fond of Snmbo as Of anybody else.
That is to say, this will be the effect
unless tho boys, as boys arc apt TO,
shall decide TO settle this matter for
themselves on the first darlcy that
comes. West Point, indeed, will be q
very hot place for the pioneer ngger,
and we prophecy that he will resign.

MINING UNDER THE SEA.-There is
vast copper mine in England, where
shafts extend many hundred yards
under the sea. The moaning Of the
waves, as they dash against the rocks
is forever heard in those gloomy aisles.
When the storms come, the sound of
the waters become so terrific that
even the boldest miners cannot stay
below, but leave their work and come
out upon the earth.
Overhead are masses of bright cop
per steaming through the gallery in
all directions traverscd by q network
of thin red veins of iron, and over all
the salt water drips down from tiny
crevicos in the rock. Immense wealth
of metal is contained in these rnds,
but no miner dare give it another
stroke with his pickaxe. Already
there has been one days work too
much upon il, as a huge wedge Of
wood driven into the rock, attests.-
The wedge is all that keeps back tho
sea from bursting in upon ;hem. Yet
there are three tiers of galleries where
men work day by day, not knowing
but at some fatal hour the food may
be upon them, rendering all escape as
hopeless as it was in the days of Noah.
The awe. stricken visitor hurrics away
from the scene, with heart appalled,
in view of the hourly danger.

A Torpid System,

Sometimes, Without any assignable cause,
the physical strength and animal spirits
give way, and strange torpor falls alike on
the body and intellect There is lit,le or no
pain perhaps, but the natural vigor aud elias
ticity Of the nervous aud muscular system
seems to have departed, and even of its grave
responsibilities, takes the place Of that earn
est interest in both which charaoterizes ey-
cry well balanced MUD when in a healthy
condition.
This state Of partial colnps IL often the
premonitory symptoms Of some serious mall
ady. IL indicates unmstulably that the vi
tal powers arc languishing aud need slim
ulant. In such cases the effect of few do
scs of Hostettcr's .tomnch Bitters is wonder
fully beneficial. The great tonic wakes IN
the system from It's browse. The secretions
and the circulation receive a new impetus.--
The relaxed nerves recover their elasticity
under the operations Of the specific, like the
siockcncd strength Of a musical instrument
in the process Of timing. Lethargy and de-
bility are replaced by energy and vigor, the
spirits rise, AMI life that almost seemed q
burden while the season of depression las
ted, becomes once more enjoyable. That
such radical change should he produced by
a remedy entirely devoid Of the powerful
nlkaloids and minerals so extensively used
in modern practice, may seem Incredible Ia
those who pin their faith on the medicinal
efficacy of active poisons, but if these skep-
ties will take the thouble to enquire of those
who have tested the corrective and Alternative
yrtuessof the Bittcrs under the circumstan-
ces described, they Aill find the statement
TO be true.
