subject of the future Of the colored man

one amongst us who is more truly the
friend of the colored man, or who is bet

his future than the Ex-Governor; and we
heartily commend his views to the con-

he Immediately advises, and also to the
consideration of the people of our own
race. Their future is closely allied with

that of the Jail was rekindled, and was
again extinguished. Some of the pri-
soners, who had been confined ut the
asylum, had made their escape, in some
instances, few days before, and were
secreted and protected by citizens.
And here it may be we'll to mention, as
suggestive of many clues, an incident
which presented n sad commentary on
that confidence in the security of the
convent, which was entertained by the
great portion of the people. The Lady
Superior herself entertained the fullest
confidence in the immunities Of the
establishment. But her confidence was
clouded, after she had enjoyed confer
ence with certain major of tho army,
who described himself as ON editor, from
Detroit. He visited her at an early hour
in the day, and announced his friendly
sympathies with the Lady Superior and
the sisterhood; professed his anxiety for
their safety; declared that no would in
stantly 60 to Sherman and secure a
chosen guard. He disappeared, and
soon after re-appeared, bringing with
him no less than eight or ton men-nonc
of them, as he admitted, being Catho-
lies. lie had some specious argument
to show that, perhaps, her guard had
better be one of Protestants. This sue-
gestion staggered the lady little, but he
seemed. to convey a more potent reason,
when he added, in q whisper: "For i
must tell you, my sister, that Columbia is n
doomed cify!" Terrible doom! This
officer, leaving his men behind him, dis
appeared, to show himself no more. The
guards 80 left behind were finally among
the most busy as plunderers. The mo-
ment that the inmates, driven ont by the
fire, were forced to abandon their house,
they began to revel in its contents.

this reason the quantity Of air to be heated
IN either is Just the same. But when two

on top IS the one to put the furnace in, for
this reason there is column Of air on

NOTES BY THE WAY.

Wherever go the people are ripe for a
change. The platform Of the Independ-
ent party is acknowledged to be right.
The workingmen have opened their eyes ;
but will they all be honest enough to break
the chains of party l say honest, for he
that is convinced Of the right, and votes
otherwise, to please party, is a hypocrite,
as is he that refuses to investigate for fear
Of being led to see the errors Of his party.
Crops are generally coming out better
than prophesied.
It was refreshing to get on the S. S. a.
NJ. s. Railway. This road has the de-
served reputation Of being one Of the
smoothest if not the smoothest and best
managed road in the United States. No
one is employed that uses intoxicating
liquor. Bibles are in every passenger car !;
the conductors have long been marked for
their urbanity, and the baggagemen for
their care in handling baggage. Of course
accidents on this road are very rare.

always the best to put the furnace in, ex
cept where there is much explosive gas Or
water falling in the deep shaft, no matter
whether the different depths are caused at
the top or bottom, or at both, it is the
same. The up cast shaft should always be
larger in diameter than the downcast, to
allow for the expansion that takes place by
the heat from the furnace. Remember,
when water falls down the deepest shaft
this is an exception, or when there is much
explosive gas. There are two exceptions

The following from the Louisiana State
Journal is well worthy the perusal of
the thoughtful reader
The national debt, in round numbers is
two billions, two hundred millions dollars.
and the debt of the States and cities, is
about one billion, three hundred millions,
making total of three billions, FIVE humid
red million dollars.
Sixteen thousand dollars in silver weighs
one thousand pounds, ana is fair load
for dray Now, if this immense debt
was all in silver, it would require two
hundred and eighteen thousand, seven
hundred and fifty drays to move it, each
dray carrying one thousand pounds, and
if each dray and mule occupied thirty feet
Of road, it would require twelve hundred
and forty miles of road, distance as great
as that between New Orleans and st. Louis
by river, and it would require about four
months for this procession Of drays to
pass given point.
II this debt is paid, the workingmen and
laborers will do it-no one else can.
