Valentines Day.

Yesterday was St Valentines Day, &C
cordiDg to the traditions of which the
birds mate out for the season, for the pur-
pose of building their nests and brooding
their young. The clouds that had Oh
scured the heavens for several precedir G
days burst away after the early morning,
and the brightest snd most golden sun
shine flooded the earth and all the sur
roundings. The NOES of birds were
heard IL the trees and among the gardens,
as though they thus might have been
something or their joyous mating. 1t is
generally conceded that Valentines Day
may be regarded as the departure of win
ter and the advent of the springtime.
Yesterday demonstrated that there has
been a considerable falling of in the send
ing and receiving of Valentines, either of
the comic, ludicrous, or the love and
sentimental order. Fewer Of these missiles,
especially of that class pertaining 10 the
tender passion, ETC., were, from what We
could learn, sent and received yesterday
than had been on any similar recurrence
of the day in our city for years past. FIRE.
quently we saw during the day young
misses apparently gleesome and radiant
over the reception of dainty little enve-
lope which no doubt enclosed her valen-
tine. We also observed young men mirth-
full and hilarious over the reception Of q
ludicroUs csricaturs containing some pal
pable hit rendered sdmissive by the priyi-
leges and customs Of the day Yst the
giving or receiving of valentines yester-
day was comparatively limited, which
would Indicate that he romantic ideas con-
neoted with the day are fading away, as
the world and the people grow more thor
oughly practical and unitarian.

The machinery for the new cotton fac
tory, referred to in our last, was being
transferred from the depot to the factory,
by Vol Davis, yesterday. We sisted that
the balance wheel was, in orr opinion, 20
in circumference; it is nea-ly Thirty feet
in diameter, and hence over so feet in
circu inference, and weighs six tous-but
being in two sections it can be wagoned
TO the factory sithout very great difficulty.
The worst things to be hauled are the two
engines attached as they are to the great
iron frames in which they set. They are
said to weigh n 90 pounds each, and
will have to be removed leach one and its
France together. What Was bothering the
head of Vol. Davis, when We saw him,
was whether be had wagon strong
enough to stand up under seven tons, or
not; 10 rather Thought the chances were
in favor Of not, besides, the next thing
that perplaxed him vas, how 70 get the
pesty things from the platform, where
they lay, onto his wagon; but if any one
can wTiggle them TO their destination,
Vol can. These eJ giEe5 are not intended
to be both IN operation at the same time,
bat are to work the same great wheel
land from this wheel the entire
machinery of the great establishment
is TO derive its motive power alternately;
or, when one gets out of repair, they both
being adjustable to the same monster
shaft, the other will 60 right ahead, while
the 'Game" one is in repair, without per-
uniting any delay in the operations. The
machinery is to be put into the facSory by
the manufacturers, who accompanied it
thither with corps of mechanics, and the
work is to go right ahead until everything
is in running order. Among this lot of
machinery are six mammoth boilers, con-
tanning fOrty-fOur fues each, and an end
less list of other things too numerous to
mention. When it is once got into posi-
ton st the sctory, and under Roadway,
there viii doubtless be thousands of visit
ors thereto, TO witness its operation, and
the factory ss a whole will be another
great wonder to the list of sights already
in our midst

NEW YORK, Feb. 14-The Times of
tomorrow will publish letter from
cadets at West Poipt members of The
first class, who say: Our feeling is much
misrepresented and misunderstood. There
was no glory in our action. The whole
affair is for us painful aud unfortunate
in extreme. We did not desire the in
ference to be drawn that we were array
ing ourselves sgainst the authorities or
taking the law into our own hands. Our
seton was more of the nature of social
body expelling unworthy members. True,
we violated the letter of the regulations
of the Academy, but not the spirit. We
knew we were liable to severe punish
ment, but would cheerfully submit to that
in order to maintain the spirit of truth of
which the Academy is 80 justly proud.

VERSAILLES, Feb. 1.-THE bankers of
Paris are fully provided with means to
loan the city of Paris the 200, 900 francs
needed for paying the war contributions.
The French have proposed prolonga-
ton of the armistice. Favre is expected
at Versailles. The Emperor will go TO
Berlin at the beginning of March to open

LONDON, Feb. IA Versailles cor
respondent of the Times telegraphs to-
day that a portion Of the Paris contribu-
ton has been paid; two million pounds
in bills on London, one million in notes
of the Bank of France, and one million

sidered the probable day of entry, in case
one is determined on.

West Point Has OUTLINED its Useful
ness.
The committee report on the West

recommending the restoration of the

vuiry to ascertain The ringleaders in the

Mr.. Butler offered a resolution to de-
prive the first class of the usual furlough
on graduation and for twelve months
thereafter.
Mr.. Johnston offered resolution for
Inquiry into the conduct of the West
Point authorities.
Mr.. Benjamin asked leave to report an
additional resolution, az follows:
Resolved further, That in the opinion
of the House of Representatives the Mil
ilary Academy at Wesb Point has out
lived its usefulness, aid ought to be abol-
ished.
Mr.. kelsey, of New York, objected.
Gen. Grants Promising Boy.
Mr.. Slocum, member of the InVes-
tigating Committee, defended the officers
of the Academy, but recognized that they
had had unusual difficulties thrown in
their way within the last few years; first
by the admission of colored cadet who
had proved a great source of emharrasso
ment, and second by the presence OF a
cadet, a son of man high in authority,
who interfered with orders anG discipline.
If lie were the head of such an institu,
ton, he would rather have twenty negro
cadets in it than one cadet so circumstan-
ced, and this has been the position in
which the officers of West Point have
been placed Dr the last three years.
Where the Shoe Pinches.
Mr. Butler of Massachusetts,, said that
West Point Academy had deprived him
of the command of the Army of the
James, had sent him home in disgrace,
and had prevented him from entering the
capital of the enemy.
Without concluding the question, the
House took a recess. The evening ses-
sioa was for general debate only.

Wholesale LynchIng of Negro Pris-

q Two MissiDg-Great Excitement.
CHARLESTON, Feb. 14.-Much excite
ment prevails in Columbia, s. c., owing
to outrsges of the Ku Klux Khan in the
upper counties. A body of five hundred
masked horsemen surrounded the jail in
Union county, Sunday night tied the
jailor, and took out ten negro prisoners
confined on charges of murder and arson.
Six were shot, two hung and two are
missing. The pretext for the crime was
that the prisoners were about TO be re-
leased at Columbia on a writ of habeas
corpus. Much indignation at the lynch
ing prevails among the masses of the
people without regard to party.

morning, to collect bill, passed under a
squad of negroes rolling off cotton bales.

the murderer promised 10 % alI urren-
der himself. Eusiess is suspected.

compliment the occasion by saying that no
