Wednesday Morning, July 10, 1871,
The E'O1nr Expedition.

Thore is something truly heroic in
the expedition undertaken this sum
mer to the Artic Ocean for purposes
OF scientific discovery. In spite of
every contriVance Of art for the pro.
lection Of health, it is almost certain
that the rigors of the climate will
triumph, and that the gallant crew of
the Polaris have taken their lives into
their hand. The incident calls up
tho reflection, that mans nature can
not be satisfied with tho present
life, but Graves, with an infinite yearn.
Ing, something grander, nobler nnd
and more glorious, and with indomi.
table energy, socks for it, with pas.
sionatc carnestncBs, even this side of
tho grave. This is the ago of mate.
rial prosperity and industrial improve
ment and progress. But it is the age
of Sabine yearring for tho truth
in all things, and men now, as in the
days Of primitive martyrdom, willing
ly give their lives for the truth. We
often indulge fling at tho worse side
of the Yankee character. 1t gives Us
pleasure to praise the nobler and bet.
ter characteristics of that enterpris-
ing and courageous people to-day
This Folors expidition is just such a
thing In d.. Kane's before the war,
and does honor to human nature. We
of the South have done nothing that
We can at present recall to equal eth.
or enterprise.

The Value of Education.

If there were no other cause to pre-
vent rapid immigration Southwark,
the lack of educational facilities
would be enough. The world now
understands tho none y.value, the ma
terial growth and prosperity, aud the
national strength involved in thor
ough education, and poor man, when
he lands in New York, will select q

The spirit displayed by other
States is in marked contrast with that
exhibited here. In Winnsboro', for
example, the town has long been
without decent school.building for

singular Peak Of the Storm Kine.

The storm which prssed over our
city on Monday afternoon, (says the
Augusta Chropicle,) played wild an.
tics on q geutlemau's plantation on
Beech leland South Carolina, Two
adjoining fields, each with high,
strong and perfectly new rnil fcnce,
wero planted one in corn and
the other in cotton, both of
which were in splendid order
and growing finely. a perfect hurri-
cane, accomplished by a deluge Of
rain and hail, swept over these two
fields, leaving the surrounding country
literally untouched. The corn was
completely riddled by the hail, the
fodder being rendered unfit for pull.
ling, and the cotton battered and
beat down in such manner that the
owner is afraid that It is ruined past
redemption. The fencing, which
was as subst antial as rail fences can
be made, was prostrated to tho ground,
while large hickory tree, which had
stood in the field for many yeare, was
torn up by roots. Several other trees
were blown down, and the area pres.
ents the appearance Of having bcen
swept by besom Of destruction.
Not drop Of rain fell in the neigh
borhood.
