renew your prayers for the coEplete and
speedy restoration Of all which has been
unhappily sacrificed to the will Of usurpers
and despots. This time call upon You ae
recommending yen to make tncesssnS ae-
mands upon the prayers Of the faithful
Be, therefore. earnest that the sacred cita-
del shall be free once moro to give more
power and effalgence to the Holy Churcn
militant. Another purpose OF TINS writ,? =?
(scyiptuna1 is to alleviate the fears causedln
many by the fact of our acceptance of the
nomination of Rev. Falagni, of Spa!ette;
De Angels, of Viterbo, and Nerrodi, Nico-
loa and Panzi (who in turn for many years
guided a great and holy academy Of Naples)
by the King of Sardinia and his Ministers.
Our acceptance was not governed by their
nomination it was rather their nomlna-
ton which conceded with our wish for 1t
had been long our intention to promote
those worthy doctors to the episcopacy.
On that account it would have been puerlle
and invidious to have changed our MIND
because other men-our enemles-had
casually chosen Us. we had. The great
purpose of the Church, venerable brothers.
is to maintain it's independence without
descending for any cause to acts which are
opposed to charity and peace. The at
| tempts, venerable brothers, which have
| learning under civil control is most weak
effort Of despotism, as there is no means
| in this enlightened age to stem the current
of wisdom except such as every people
should rise up against if they value human
freedom in any degree.
All these dangers, venerable brethren
you have no cause to: fear, as their inflo
ence cannot prove deleterious to this
mighty Rock (ingenti Petrol. This cloud
will pass away as passed the agony OF
Jesus, and these obstacles will be over
come as the waters of the Red Sea were
overcome. The same Power which brought
light out of darkness and created immortal
souls from nothing is with us in our tri-
bulation, and when we shall have been
chastened He will "guide US into the light
of His glory"
Praying health and grace to you all,
venerable brethren, we hereby pronounce
the Apostolic Benediction upon you and
the faithful throughout tho world. We re-
main in God your loving father.

TRUE EDUCArIoN.-The Catholic Church
alone possesses in it's completeness the
beneficent power of education. Others who
undertake the task aim merely at develop
in our corrupt nature, intellect is too often
the slave, not the controller of passion or
they seek to direct the wayward will by the
cold and UNCERTAIN light of moral philoso-
ply; or after having cultivated the souls
faculties to the highest, they declare them
selves incapable of satisfying the cravings
they have encouraged, and can only say
with PLATE, "What is truth Z" or, with the
Athenian, point to the altar of "the un-
known God"

Hon. Thomas Ewing.

The last great act of this truly great
man was his profession of the Catholic
faith and reception of the Holy Sacrame nts.
1t might seem to some who knew him not
as his children and his intimate friends
knew him, that this step, because SO
long deferred, was, at last, hastily taken:
But this is not 30. 1t was the subject of
serious meditation, especially after his
marriage, fifty years past, with his late ad-
mirable Catholic wife. During that long
interval he frequently declared his convic-
ton of the truth of the Catholic religion.
And yet from an exalted, perhaps we may
say an exaggerated sense of his RESPONSE
biiity to God and man for his final deter
mination, he still fingered on the thresh-
old of the Temple-still anxiously disci-
plined his mind and feelings before his
solemn approach to the altar. Last De-
cember, when Archbishop Purcell went to
Mount Vernon, Ohio, for the marriage of
his son. Gen. Charles Ewing, he addressed
letter to Mr. Ewing, ging earnestly and
respectfully his entrance into the one fold
of the one Heavenly Shepherd. To this
letter, written by the Archbishop, as he
stated in it, after Mass, after placing his
forehead in the dust, on his knees, on the
vigil of the festival of the unbelieving and
believing St. Thomas, Apostle, he received
the following reply:
MOUNT VERNON, Dec. 90, 1870.
Most Rererend and Dear Sir regret that
cannot accept your suggestions, but have diff
fculties which you, educated in the faith from
childhood, can hardly appreciate.
/ am satisfied that the Christian religi ion is
the greatest boon; moral and social, that ever
Heaven bestowed on man. This is to me the
highest evidence of its truth, which would be
lost if we repudiate the Catholic Church by
which it was originally taught, and has been
transmitted through ages.
Its doctrines and their proofs have been for
some years, and are still, my study, but my
convictions are not as unwavering as l could
desire them, and must be sincere before God
and man, and have full faith, before make
avowal.
With sentiments of the highest respect and
esteem am your lifelong friend,
T. EWING.
Most Rev. Archbishop Purcell, Present..

TRIAL OF COTTON GINS IN GREA7

TRIAL OF COTTON GINS IN GREAT
BRlTA1N.-From a letter recently pub
lished in the Manchester papers, 1t ap-
pears that the long deferred trial Of cot
ton gins, under the auspices of the Indian
Government, will take place in Manches-
ter on the 2Sth of the present month.
Premises suitable for trial have been Sc
cured, and upwards of thirty tons of seed
cotton have been provided. The cotton
consists chiefly of native or indigenous In
dian varieties, and of American seed cot
ton grown in Dharwar. Every facility
will be afforded to the competing manu-
facturers.

was entirely without warrant of law, and
if the principle is admitted that moneys
can be thus drawn from the treasury, or
debts contracted without appropriations
made by law" then all proper safeguards
of the treasury are broken down, and
few ministerial officers in the State may
mortage its revenue in advance, or de.
prive it at will Of the means of meeting
its legal liabilities.
THE FINANCIAL AGENT OF THE STATE.
When the present State Government
was inaugurated, July 6, 1861 there
were only forty-fve (45) dollars in the
State treasury. A large bonded and float
ing debt, incurred by former administra-
tons, had to be provided for. The an
GENT credit Of the State, that had, once
stood so justly high in the money markets
of the world, was gone. It had been blown
away with the smoke of the first gun fred
at Fort Sumter. r"a f
In order to meet the current expenses,
uuth ulohOy SouiO I6dllLSu .IEOuI LOO
tax levy, it was necessary for the State to
borrow on its securities. 'ToSefect this
object on the best terms for the State, the
General Assembly authorized the Govern
or, Attorney General and the Treasurer,
''to appoint, under commission signed
by them, some responsible bank or banker
in the City of New York, to act as!fnan-
cial agent of the State. e.''saIL - U
To this end visited New York, and
conferred with leading banks. They all
declined the agency, alleging that the du-
ties were arduous ard the time of pay
ment uncertain; that We were only bor-
rowers in the market. NJ ss~n -ss
While thus endeavoring to secure the
services of responsible and efficient finan-
cial agent, the name of Mr.. II. H. Kimp-,
ton was presented. He was highly en-
dorsed by prominent officials Of the State,
and by leading bankers in New York,
among whom were the presidents of the
Broadway Bank and the Bank Of the Re-
public. 'ta

SALUTATORY

In taking possession ofa newspaper in
Beaufort, the writer does not feel that he
is entering on new field, but rather that
he is resuming a connection with the pub
lie of this County, which was long sus-
tanned in trying times and which has been
only temporarily severed.
Under his management the Beaufort
REPUBLICAN will aim to be good local
paper, devoted to the interests fthe town
and county. He will endeavor 30 far as
in him lies to aid whatsoever things are
pure, just and of good report, recognizing
deep responsibility as resting upon one
speaking to the public through the press.
In politics it will be an organ of the Re-
publican party, but will not fail to rebuke
those who may prove false to the trusts
committed to them by the people. An
honest, economical and energetic govern.
ment will be demanded. IF there are i'm
beetles, thieves or traitors in our party, it
will assist to purge them out of it., Above
all, as long the REPUBLICAN is under the
management of the writer, it will be inde-
pendent of all factions, cabals and cliques.

COLUMBlA, .. VI, NOVemD0f Z4.
The town is rapidly filing with legisla-
tive Solons of variegated complexion, eau
cusing is becoming frequent and anima-
ted, and rumor is busy with the expected
transactions of the coming Legislature. It
is no small labor to separate among the
innumerable prophecies and speculations
now INDUCED in Che grains of truth from
the bushels Of chaff, but the following
statements may be relied upon as ,furlsh-
ing fair aod rather detailed intination
of the tone and temper Of tfie Legislature.
One of the frs, bills to be introduced
probably next Tuesday by suspension
Of the rules) will provide for trausfsr Of
the place of deposit of the State funds
from Hardy Solomon's Bank to the Caro-
lima National Bank, and perhaps Que 9TH
er, and radical change in the form of de-
posits. 1t will be ordered that county
treasurers and others receiving State
funds shall, on the 18th Of each month
transmit the same, not TO the State treas
urer, as at present, but direct to the bank,
which will receipt therefor in triplicate,
one copy going to the depositor, another
to the treasurer, and the third TO the
comptroller-general. 1t will be further Or
dered that these funds shall not be drawn
upon, except for specific purposes, ex-
pressed by appropriations, and then upon
the warrant of the State treasurer, with
out requiring, as at present, the counter
signature of the Governor. The intent
of this action is perfectly apparent. 1t is
a part Of the plan of the Radical majority,
already announced, to ''keep the State
money within the State" The Legisla-
ture want to repudiate, at least to- the ex-
tent of refusing to pay interest, and they
think they can do so only by Baking the
control of the States income out Of the
hands of the State officials, and holding
the State funds, subject only to their own
specific appropl iations.
An issue is expected, very early in the
session, between the Governor and the
Legislature, which will be provoked as
follows: The message proposes, among its
other recommendations for retrenchment,
gradual reduction, after certain num-
Der of days in session, ofthe perdiem al.
lowance of the members of the Legislature
on the priciple that the sessions are now
unnecessarily prolonged for the simple
purpose of getting six dollars per day. 1t
is needless to say that this suggestion will
certainly not be complied with, but it is
reported that the Legislature will not only
disregard the recommendation, but will
retaliate by resolving to hold perpetual
session. Another quarrel will grow ont
of the statement in the message that the
Legislatures expenses for last session
were S5OO,OOO. The reply OF the Legisla-
ture to Governor Scott upon, this point
will be, in effect, that the appropriation
for the legislative expenses was only $685.
0O0; that they tried to get another appro-
priation Of 1866 900 passed, but it was

spare your lOreSC Irees' Let dill VIM
own land keep goodly portion of wood
land untouched by the axe. Every one
who owns land denuded of its wood should
Immediately set to work and plant forest
trees. Many think they canot spare from
tillage any land devoted to wood. 1t is a
terribly false economy. A'person may be
the gamer for few years, but the land
will be sure to avenge itself, not only on
himself but his neishbors.
1t is well established fact that forest
trees are great conservators Of moisture IN
the soil. A case now comes to mind where
man had upon his land near his dwell
ing thick grove of trees in which was a
spring ofexcelent water, almost unfailing.
In an evil hour he had the grove cut
down, the spring dried up. Upon digging
a little he came to water, but as time
passed that dried up, till at length a nell
took the place of the spring.
And 50 it is everywhere, the powers OF
the sun, for exhalation are tremendous,
and when its influence upon the soil is un-
checked, the moisture is rapidly taken iu-
to the air and is borne away by the wind.
1t is difficult, and unnecessary here to ex-
plain the philosophy of the matter, but it
is well known fact that all deserts are
devoid of trees,-that in all places in the
desert where water is found, trees are
found; that the remorseless cutt ng away
our forests at the West is followed by long
continued droughts, and these again with
tremendous floods in times Of rain, for
there is no wood land to retain the water
for the innumerable rootlets Of the trees,
or in pools and lakes formed by the nu-
merous tree roots lying above the ground.
The soil having no call for the water,
sheds it like house roof, and the soil be-
ing deprived of its moisture by the ex.
posure to the sun, there is no moisture to
form vapor for rain and so no rain comes
only as it is brought by storms from far.
Our thoughts have been turned in this
channel, not for the sake Of philosophi-
zing, but for practical purposes; by reading
of the fearful fires Of the Northwest, and
thinking what should be their cause. That
terrible tornado which swooped down up
on Peshtigo and swallowed up its dwell
ines with their inhabitants 80 remorseless-
ly, and swept over the country like be-
som of destruction, had lost well nigh all
it's terror but for it's terrible ally-fre.
Fire found abundant fuel from the pro
longed droughis And these come be-
cause 50 much of the land is denuded Of
it's trees. Aud so when I cut off all my
timber my neighbor must suffer as well as
I. And so, "Woodman spare that tree"
loses its sentimentality, and becomes OF
tremendous practical import. Therefore
we owe it to the community at large as
well as to ourselves to spare the forests.
The beauty of a landscape interspersed
with forests, properly managed, needs an
article by ITSELF
