Young American Traveller.

Ii is gratifying to know that among the
first TO avail themselves ofthe present 1aciIi-
ties for making a voyage around the world
which was once deemed 80 great an
achievement as almost to immortalize its
heroes-is young Boston gentleman,
graduate of the Massachusetts Theological
Institution, who accomplished his tour and
his eighteenth ye- at about the same time.
After visiting Germany, during the Franco
Prussian war, Switzerland, Italy, England,
etc, he left London i'm January last, BY
steamer for Alexandria. Before leaving for
the East, he made brief visit to Constanti-
nople, returning to Alexandria by way of
Athens. Starting from Alexandria he
visited the pyramids from Carlo, taking
steamer down the Red Sea and across the
Arabian sea to Bombay; ehence by land
from whence he went to the Himmalayan
He afterwards visited Madras,
Ceylon, Hong Kong, and thence to Yokoha-
ma in Japan. From Yokohama by steamer

Thence, after visiting the Yosemite, Salt |

ington, he reached home the preseat week,
having occupied about eight months in his
circuit around the earth, from Boston east
ward back TO Boston again. About three

tan were accomplished by a bullock team at
he rate of two or three miles per hour. In
his country the travellers were repeatedly at
acked by robbers, and it was only by the &C
i've application of their reyolvers that they
gere able to protect themselves from robbery
nd murder. At Yokohama our young

ANOTHER SLICE.-We see that a bill has

another slice of Clearfeld county and an
nexing it to Elk The slice embraces war
rants Nos. 4,275, 4,20O, 4'IS2, 4, ,ISS, 4,1SI,
aud part Of 4,27l, being that portion of Fox
township annexed to Huston township, when
Fox was sliced up, several years ago.
Whether this cutting pieces off Clearfeld
county is in accordance with the wishes of
her citizens, we are unable to say, but it is
well enough that they should know the fact,
so that they may govern themselves ac.
eordingly.

The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1871-03-21

The fact is now very apparent to our
mind, soys the Union Times, that the two
races cannot live peacenbly together and
the country prosper, particularly with
the inferior race as the governing power.
It is an unnatural position for either.
and the white and tax-paying race will
not longer submit to the degradation.
The white people of the South have ex-
hibited more forbearance than we cup
posed they possessed; but the results of
this unnatural position are fast culmipat-
ing in corrupt legislation, taxing one
portion to keep up the extravagant 60.
vernment of the other, disorder aud
riots throughout the land. Force can
notreconcile the opposing parties. There
must be change in the governing pow
er. That alone will ensure permanent
peace. The Northern people would not
submit for one month to the humiliation
and oppression which the Southern peo-
pie have patiently suffered for five years.
II is inhuman to ask it, and disgracefui
to the nation that forces it upon any
part Of her citizens. =

TEE COUNTY OF A1KRN.-The Legisla-
ture of South Carolina, at its recent seq
sion, created new County from portions
Of Edgeield and Barnwell Counties.
The Bsrnwell Sentinel thus confidently
predicts brilliant future for the Coun-
t., which we trust may be fully real
ized:
"The new County has every element
of success, aud should very soon be one
OF the most important Counties in the
State. In addition to the County seat,
Aiken, the popular health resort, it num-
bers the fourishing manufacturing towns
of Graniteville and Bath, the Porcelain
Factory at Kaolin, the new factory in the
course of completion, between Granite
vile and Bath, and the decayed town of
Hamburg. It has also In it's limits avail
able water power, not yet brought into
requisition, and very productive cotton
and corn lands on the Savannah and
Ediato Rivers, and the large water
courses feeding, the same. It is favor
,able region for, the cultivation of the
grape and fruits, besides containing in
,exhaustible beds Of the finest clay for
tho manufacture OF tie best ware. With
all these advantages, we predict q bright
future for our young sister, and as the
